| <b>Example - Property Sheet</b></h2> |
| |
| <h3> |
| Introduction</h3> |
| The Property Sheet Example adds an editor for files with the .usr extension |
| and also demonstrates how to add properties and outline views on a file. |
| <br> |
| <h3> |
| Running the example</h3> |
| To start using the Property Sheet Example, create a file with extension |
| .usr. Open the file and the Outline and Properties views to |
| see the example in action. Click on items in the Outline view and |
| look in the Properties view for details of the selected item in the Outline |
| view. The people items in the list show the most detail in the Properties |
| view. |
| <h4> |
| <b>Creating a new usr file</b></h4> |
| Create a new file with file extension .usr. From the File menu, select |
| New and then select Other... from the sub-menu. Click on Simple in |
| the wizard, then select |
| <br>File in the list on the left. Click on Next to supply the file |
| name (make sure the extension is .usr) and the folder in which the file |
| should be contained. |
| <br> |
| <h3> |
| Details</h3> |
| The Property Sheet Example demonstrates how to provide properties to the |
| Property Sheet View. |
| <p>The tree viewer of the Content Outline View contains and presents OrganizationElements. |
| When an element is selected in the Content Outline View the Workspace will |
| invoke <tt>getAdapter</tt> |
| on the selected OrganizationElement. If an adapter is requested for IPropertySource, |
| the OrganizationElement returns itself as it impements IPropertySource |
| The Property Sheet View then use the Organization Element as it source. |
