Field Detail

STATUS_PRESENT

public static final int STATUS_PRESENT

The Dockable is known by the docking system

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

STATUS_PINNED

public static final int STATUS_PINNED

The Dockable pinned

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

STATUS_MINIMIZED

public static final int STATUS_MINIMIZED

The Dockable unpinned and minimized

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

STATUS_ACCESSIBLE

public static final int STATUS_ACCESSIBLE

The user has a direct access to the dockable. If the dockable is tabbed with other dockables and is not the selected page, it is still considered as accessible. If the dockable is unpinned and minized, it is also considered as accessible.

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

STATUS_ACTIVE

public static final int STATUS_ACTIVE

The Dockable is active (title bar is dark blue)

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

STATUS_VISIBLE

public static final int STATUS_VISIBLE

The Dockable is visible. If multiple dockables are tabbed together, only the selected page is considered to be visible.

See Also:

getDockableStatus(oracle.ide.docking.Dockable), Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

DockStation

public DockStation()

Method Detail

getDockStation

public static DockStation getDockStation()

Returns the DockStation instance that is active in the IDE.

setDockStation

public static void setDockStation(DockStation dockStation)

Publishes the specified DockStation as the active instance in the IDE.

registerDockableFactory

public abstract void registerDockableFactory(java.lang.String viewTypeId,
                                             DockableFactory factory)

Register a factory that can create dockables. Dockable layouts can be saved. When they are loaded, a factory is needed to create and initialize them.

registerDockableFactory

public abstract void registerDockableFactory(java.lang.String viewTypeId,
                                             DockableFactory factory,
                                             double priority)

This method is similar to registerDockableFactory(String, DockableFactory) but

unregisterDockableFactory

public abstract void unregisterDockableFactory(java.lang.String viewTypeId)

Removes a factory from the registry

addDockableListener

public abstract void addDockableListener(DockableListener l,
                                         Dockable d)

Dockable listeners are manipulated by the DockStation to simplify the implementation of the Dockable interface.

Parameters:

l - the listener to add

d - the dockable to watch. If this value is null, the listener will be registered for every dockable.

removeDockableListener

public abstract void removeDockableListener(DockableListener l,
                                            Dockable d)

Unregisters a dockable listener. Both the listener AND the dockable must match. If the listener was registered with a null dockable, a null dockable must be passed to the removeDockableListener.

Parameters:

l - the listener to remove

d - the dockable on which the listener was registered.

initialize

public abstract void initialize()

This method is called to give this class an opportunity to hook layout listeners to the ide.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Addin

See Also:

AddinManager

install

public abstract void install(javax.swing.JFrame frame,
                             java.awt.Container topPanel,
                             javax.swing.JComponent centerPanel)

Initializes the docking system.

Parameters:

frame - The main application frame. It will be used to attach floating windows

topPanel - usually the contentFrame.

centerPanel - the place where MDI windows will circulate.

isDockableVisible

public abstract boolean isDockableVisible(java.lang.String viewId)

Returns:

true if the view identified by the given viewId is visible.

See Also:

isDockableVisible( Dockable dockable )

isDockableVisible

public abstract boolean isDockableVisible(Dockable dockable)

Returns:

true if the given dockable is visible.

getDockableStatus

public abstract int getDockableStatus(Dockable dockable)

Returns:

a combination of STATUS_xxx bits

See Also:

STATUS_PRESENT, STATUS_PINNED, STATUS_MINIMIZED, STATUS_ACCESSIBLE, STATUS_ACTIVE, STATUS_VISIBLE

dock

public abstract void dock(Dockable dockable,
                          DockingParam dockingParam)

Inserts the dockable into the docking system.

Parameters:

dockable - the dockable to insert

dockingParam - specifies where to place the dockable.

undock

public abstract void undock(Dockable dockable)

Remove the dockable. If the component is realized, it is removed from its TitledPanel

setDockableVisible

public abstract void setDockableVisible(java.lang.String strViewId,
                                        boolean bVisible)

Show/hide a dockable. If bVisible is true and the dockable was not created yet, the dockable factories will be searched and the one that matches the name will be asked to create the dockable. If bVisible is true and the container of the dockable is hidden (floating windows) the container will be shown too.

Parameters:

strViewId - the identification of the dockable.

bVisible - true if the dockable must be shown.

setDockableVisible

public abstract void setDockableVisible(Dockable dockable,
                                        boolean bVisible)

close

public abstract void close(Dockable dockable)

Close the specified dockable. Closing a dockable will generate a CLOSED state change notification. In addition, it will discard all discardable dockables.

Parameters:

dockable - the dockable.

saveLayout

public abstract void saveLayout(PropertyAccess pa)

Saves all of the docking layout.

Parameters:

pa - the storage object

activateDockable

public abstract boolean activateDockable(Dockable dockable)

Sets the focus in the specified dockable.

activateAnyDockable

public abstract boolean activateAnyDockable()

Sets the focus in the first available dockable window. This method is called when the last editor is closed.

getDockable

public abstract Dockable getDockable(ViewId viewId)

searches a dockable based on a name.

Returns:

null if the dockable was not found

findDockable

public abstract Dockable findDockable(ViewId viewId)

searches/create a dockable based on a name.
