Method Details

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Extension

Returns:

The description of the extension.

See Also:

• Extension.getDescription()

getEditorComponent

public Object getEditorComponent(AuthorInplaceContext context,
 Rectangle allocation,
 Point mouseInvocationLocation)

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Prepare and return the editor component.

Specified by:

getEditorComponent in interface InplaceEditor

Parameters:

context - The context where the editor will be used.

allocation - The bounds where the editor will be shown. This is normally the bounds of the box in which the value being edited is rendered. If the editor requires to be presented in different bounds it should alter this parameter. The X,Y coordinates are relative to the parent in which the editor will be added.

mouseInvocationLocation - if the editor was requested using the mouse this parameter represents the X,Y location where the event took place. It is relative to the parent in which the editor will be added. null if the editor wasn't requested through mouse interaction.

OBS: This is the very first call received by an editor. This ensures that the editor is properly initialized for the subsequent calls (like a InplaceEditor.requestFocus() call).
OBS: An editor implementation will have to add listeners onto itself like:

• a KeyListener for handling key events like: ENTER to stop editing (by calling InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent)) and ESCAPE to cancel it (by calling InplaceEditingListener.editingCanceled()).
• a FocusListener to stop editing when the focus is given to a component that is not part of the editor (by calling InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent)).
• a DocumentListener to fire InplaceEditingListener.editingOccured() events (If the editor has a document).

Returns:

The component that performs the editing. For the Standalone distribution this should be a java.awt.JComponent implementation. For the Eclipse plugin distribution, an org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control is expected.

getScrollRectangle

public Rectangle getScrollRectangle()

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Returns a rectangle that should be made visible after the editor is shown. The coordinate should be relative to the editor itself. The default behavior is to make the entire editor visible but if the editor is bigger than the viewport the visible part might not be the right one. For example is the editor is a text field the caret might not be visible. This is when this method is useful. The caret rectangle should be returned so that the part of the editor with the caret is presented.

Specified by:

getScrollRectangle in interface InplaceEditor

Returns:

A rectangle to be made visible or null to make the entire editor visible.

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.getScrollRectangle()

addEditingListener

public void addEditingListener(InplaceEditingListener editingListener)

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Adds a listener to receive edit notifications: - InplaceEditingListener.editingCanceled() to remove the editor and cancel the edit operation. - InplaceEditingListener.editingOccured() to signal modification in the editor. This event marks the editor as dirty and it's value will be committed when a InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent) is received. - InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent) to end editing and commit it's value if needed. The value is usually committed ONLY if a InplaceEditingListener.editingOccured() was fired. See InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent) for more information.

Specified by:

addEditingListener in interface InplaceEditor

Parameters:

editingListener - Editing listener.

• InplaceEditor.addEditingListener(ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.editor.InplaceEditingListener)

requestFocus

public void requestFocus()

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Requests focus inside the editing component.

Specified by:

requestFocus in interface InplaceEditor

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.requestFocus()

getValue

public Object getValue()

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Gets the value that the user entered.

Specified by:

getValue in interface InplaceEditor

Returns:

The value that the user entered.

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.getValue()

stopEditing

public void stopEditing()

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Stops the editing and commits the current value. The editor should release any held resources and notify InplaceEditingListener.editingStopped(EditingEvent). OBS: The current value will be committed only if at least one InplaceEditingListener.editingOccured() event was issued before this moment.

Specified by:

stopEditing in interface InplaceEditor

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.stopEditing()

cancelEditing

public void cancelEditing()

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Cancels the editing process. The editor should release any held resources and notify InplaceEditingListener.editingCanceled().

Specified by:

cancelEditing in interface InplaceEditor

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.cancelEditing()

removeEditingListener

public void removeEditingListener(InplaceEditingListener editingListener)

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

Removes a listener that receives editing events.

Specified by:

removeEditingListener in interface InplaceEditor

Parameters:

editingListener - Editing listener.

See Also:

• InplaceEditor.removeEditingListener(ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.editor.InplaceEditingListener)

refresh

public void refresh(AuthorInplaceContext context)

Description copied from interface: InplaceEditor

While this editor is inside an editing session a document change was detected that didn't originated form this editor. In this situation it might be good for the editor to refresh the presented data.

Currently this method is called if:

• This editor edits an attribute and the same attribute was externally modified. In this situation is recommended for the editor to update the current value.

Specified by:

refresh in interface InplaceEditor

Parameters:

context - An updated editing context for this editor.
