Constructor Detail

CoolItem

public CoolItem(
CoolBar parent,
                int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CoolBar) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
See Also:
SWT.DROP_DOWN, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()

CoolItem

public CoolItem(
CoolBar parent,
                int style,
                int index)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CoolBar), a style value describing its behavior and appearance, and the index at which to place it in the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
index - the zero-relative index at which to store the receiver in its parent
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
  • ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the parent (inclusive)
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
See Also:
SWT.DROP_DOWN, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()
Method Detail

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(
SelectionListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners that will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

If widgetSelected is called when the mouse is over the drop-down arrow (or 'chevron') portion of the cool item, the event object detail field contains the value SWT.ARROW, and the x and y fields in the event object represent the point at the bottom left of the chevron, where the menu should be popped up. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should be notified when the control is selected by the user
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
Since:
1.0
See Also:
SelectionListener, removeSelectionListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener), SelectionEvent

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()
Overrides:
checkSubclass in class Widget

computeSize

public 
Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint)
Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a CoolItem is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask the instance questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does it need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

Parameters:
wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
Returns:
the preferred size
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from class: Widget
Disposes of the operating system resources associated with the receiver and all its descendents. After this method has been invoked, the receiver and all descendents will answer true when sent the message isDisposed(). Any internal connections between the widgets in the tree will have been removed to facilitate garbage collection.

NOTE: This method is not called recursively on the descendents of the receiver. This means that, widget implementers can not detect when a widget is being disposed of by re-implementing this method, but should instead listen for the Dispose event.

Overrides:
dispose in class Widget
See Also:
Widget.addDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.removeDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.checkWidget()

getBounds

Control getControl()
Returns the control that is associated with the receiver.

Returns:
the control that is contained by the receiver
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getMinimumSize

public 
Point getMinimumSize()
Returns the minimum size that the cool item can be resized to using the cool item's gripper.

Returns:
a point containing the minimum width and height of the cool item, in pixels
