| Type Selection Dialog |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Type selection dialogs allow you to browse the workbench for a type. |
| </p> |
| <!-- Note: keep ref-148.htm and ref-148a.htm in sync when making changes here --> |
| <!-- =========================================== snip ======================================= --> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Enter type name prefix or pattern</strong>: In this field, type the first few |
| characters of the type you want to select. |
| <p>The following pattern kinds are supported: |
| </p> |
| <strong>Wildcards</strong>:<br> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <em>"*"</em> for any string and <em>"?"</em> for any character |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| terminating <em>"<"</em> or <em>" "</em> (space) |
| to prevent the automatic prefix matching, e.g. <em>"java.*Access<"</em> |
| to match <code>java.util.RandomAccess</code> but not <code>java.security.AccessControlContext</code> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <strong>Camel case</strong>:<br> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <em>"TZ"</em> for types containing <em>"T"</em> and <em>"Z"</em> |
| as upper-case letters in camel-case notation, e.g. <code>java.util.TimeZone</code> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>"NuPoEx"</em> or <em>"NuPo"</em> for types containing <em>"Nu"</em>, <em>"Po"</em>, |
| (and <em>"Ex"</em>) as parts in camel-case notation, e.g. |
| <code>java.lang.NullPointerException</code> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| terminating "<" or " " (space) to fix the number of camel-case parts, |
| e.g. "HMap<" and "HaMap<" |
| match "HashMap" and "HatMapper", but not |
| "HashMapEntry" nor "Hashmap". |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Both pattern kinds also support <strong>package prefixes</strong>, e.g. |
| <em>"j.util.*Map<"</em>. |
| </p> |
| <br> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Matching items</strong>: This list displays matches for the pattern you type in the <strong>Enter type name prefix or pattern</strong> field. |
| Recently opened types show up in a history section at the top of the list. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| The behavior of the <strong>Open Type</strong> dialog can be further customized using the dialog menu: |
