| <body> |
| Application programming interfaces for interaction |
| with the Eclipse Java User Interface text support. |
| <h2>Linked Position Infrastructure</h2> |
| <h3>package <span style="font-family: monospace;">org.eclipse.jface.text.link |
| </span><span style="font-family: monospace;"></span></h3> |
| <h3><code></code></h3> |
| The Linked Position Infrastructure lets one set up a mode in an editor |
| in which regions in a document (or several documents) are <em>linked</em>, |
| i.e. editions |
| of one linked position will be reflected in the others. |
| <h4>Classes</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>LinkedPositionGroup</code>: a set of linked positions. Add |
| positions to a group using the <code>addPosition</code> method. See <span |
| style="font-family: monospace;">LinkedPosition</span><code><span |
| style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;"> and</span></code> <span |
| style="font-family: monospace;">ProposalPosition</span><code><span |
| style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;"> </span></code><span |
| style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;">for a position type |
| that lets one attach </span><span style="font-family: monospace;">ICompletionProposals</span><span |
| style="font-family: monospace;"></span><span |
| style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;"> </span><span |
| style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;">to</span> |
| be shown when the position is hit.</li> |
| <li><code>LinkedModeModel</code>: umbrellas several <code>LinkedPositionGroup</code>s, |
| e.g. in a template that has several groups of linked positions. Handles |
| the forwarding of updates received via an IDocumentListener. Add <code>LinkedPositionGroup</code>s |
| to |
| an model using the <code>addGroup</code> method. Existence of a <span |
| style="font-family: monospace;">LinkedModeModel </span>can be |
| tested by one of the static methods.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li><code>LinkedModeUI</code>: The UI for linked mode (for one |
| model, to be precise). Monitors key etc. activity, monitors exit |
| conditions, creates a painter etc. <br> |
| Properties: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>cycling mode</b> (whether to jump to the first position |
| after the last): either of <code>CYCLE_ALWAYS</code>, <code>CYCLE_NEVER</code> |
| and <code>CYCLE_WHEN_NO_PARENT</code> (default).</li> |
| <li><b>exit position</b>: where to jump upon leaving the linked |
| mode (e.g. using Enter, or Tab from the last position when not |
| cycling). Set <code>isTabStop</code> to <code>true</code> if tabbing |
| should stop over when cycling.</li> |
| <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">position listener</span>: |
| extending classes may register a position listener which will get |
| notified whenever |
| the focus position changes. An example is <span |
| style="font-family: monospace;">org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.link.EditorLinkedModeUI.EditorHistoryUpdater</span> |
| which will store the edit location in the editor navigation history.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| . |
| </ul> |
| <h4>Example</h4> |
| <pre> IDocument doc1, doc2;<br> ITextViewer viewer1, viewer2;<br> <br> /* create groups - this step is independent of the linked mode */<br> LinkedPositionGroup group1= new LinkedPositionGroup();<br> group1.addPosition(new LinkedPosition(doc1, 3, 4));<br> group1.addPosition(new LinkedPosition(doc1, 7, 8));<br> <br> LinkedPositionGroup group2= new LinkedPositionGroup();<br> group2.addPosition(new LinkedPosition(doc1, 15, 25));<br> group2.addPosition(new LinkedPosition(doc2, 0, 10));<br> <br> /* set up linked mode */<br> LinkedModeModel model= new LinkedModeModel();<br> model.addGroup(group1);<br> model.addGroup(group2);<br> model.forceInstall();<br> <br> /* create UI */<br> LinkedModeUI ui= new LinkedModeUI(model, new ITextViewer[] { viewer1, viewer2 });<br> ui.enter();<span |
