Method Detail

• startContainerLayout

  public void startContainerLayout(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite container,
                          SwtMetawidget metawidget)

  Description copied from interface: AdvancedLayout
  Initialise the given container, using the given Metawidget to access additional services if needed (such as state saving).

  Specified by:

  startContainerLayout in interface AdvancedLayout<org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control,org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite,SwtMetawidget>

  Overrides:

  startContainerLayout in class NestedSectionLayoutDecorator<org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control,org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite,SwtMetawidget>

  Parameters:

  container - the container to layout. This is often the same as the given Metawidget

  metawidget - the parent Metawidget. Never null

• startBuildWidget

  public org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite startBuildWidget(String elementName,
                                                   Map<String,String> attributes,
                                                   org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite container,
                                                   SwtMetawidget metawidget)

  Specified by:

  startBuildWidget in interface SwtLayoutDecorator

• layoutWidget

  public void layoutWidget(org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control widget,
                  String elementName,
                  Map<String,String> attributes,
                  org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite container,
                  SwtMetawidget metawidget)

  Description copied from interface: Layout
  Layout the given widget within the given container, using the given elementName and attributes as a guide and the given Metawidget to access additional services if needed (such as state saving)

  layoutWidget is called immediately after WidgetBuilder.buildWidget and WidgetProcessor.processWidget, and before the next widget is generated. An alternate design would be to 'collect' all widgets generated by buildWidget and processWidget, then iterate over them separately for the layout. If you prefer this approach, you can simulate it by having layoutWidget do nothing but 'remember' each widget, then iterate over them in endContainerLayout (see the AdvancedLayout interface). However not all UI frameworks allow this approach, because they do not suport widgets being instantiated independent of a layout, nor moved between layouts (e.g. SWT)

  Specified by:

  layoutWidget in interface Layout<org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control,org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite,SwtMetawidget>

  Overrides:

  layoutWidget in class NestedSectionLayoutDecorator<org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control,org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite,SwtMetawidget>

  Parameters:

  widget - the widget to layout. Never null

  elementName - XML node name of the business field. Typically 'entity', 'property' or 'action'. Never null

  attributes - attributes of the widget to layout. Never null. This Map is modifiable - changes will be passed to subsequent WidgetProcessors and Layouts

  container - the container to add to. This is often the same as the given Metawidget

  metawidget - the Metawidget to use to access additional services. Never null
