Class VisualRepresentationFeature

java.lang.Object
  com.sdm.quasar.client.core.dialog.AbstractFeature
      com.sdm.quasar.client.swing.embedding.features.VisualRepresentationFeature

All Implemented Interfaces:

Feature, Service, SystemInfoProvider, VisualRepresentationService

public class VisualRepresentationFeature

extends AbstractFeature

implements VisualRepresentationService

This feature uses a VisualRepresentationService given by the parent to let a dialog set it's visual representation easily.

Just use the setVisualRepresentation(JComponent) in a dialog to provide the visual representation for the parent.

Note: The parent dialog must provide a VisualRepresentationService. This is usually the case, if the parent uses some concrete AbstractCompositeFeature.

Constructor Summary

VisualRepresentationFeature()

Method Summary

void	clearVisualRepresentation()
void	collectSystemInfo(SystemInfoNode root, SystemInfoOptions options) Builds the system information tree upon local information of the implementor. The system information tree can be used within development by inspecting the system; so implementors should append their internal state (depending on the details settings within SystemInfoOptions). The information can be appended to the tree by adding new child SystemInformationNodes to the root node given using the SystemInfoNode.createChild(String) method and by setting information attributes the these nodes or the given root node. Subclasses should overwrite this method to append system informations Subclasses should overwrite this method to append system informations
protected void	dispose() Called when the feature or dialog is disposed.
javax.swing.JComponent	getParentVisualRepresentation()
javax.swing.JComponent	getVisualRepresentation()
protected void	init() Called when the feature is initializing.
protected void	prepare() Called when the dialog is prepared.

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

Description copied from class: AbstractFeature

Called when the feature is initializing. This is normally done, when the feature is connected to the lifecycle of the DialogControl installed to. To access the DialogControl use the AbstractFeature.getDialogControl() method.

Override this method to perform some action on initialization e.g. register public services.

Specified by:

init in class AbstractFeature

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.dialog.features.AbstractFeature#init()

dispose

protected void dispose()
                throws DisposeException

Description copied from class: AbstractFeature

Called when the feature or dialog is disposed. Override this method to clean up resources and free memory when disposing.

Specified by:

dispose in class AbstractFeature

Throws:

DisposeException

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.dialog.features.AbstractFeature#dispose()

prepare

protected void prepare()

Description copied from class: AbstractFeature

Called when the dialog is prepared. Override this method if you want to perform some action on LifeCycle.prepare(), e.g. gain resource and provide services for childs.

The default implementation in AbstractFeature does nothing.

Overrides:

prepare in class AbstractFeature

See Also:

AbstractFeature.prepare()

getParentVisualRepresentation

public javax.swing.JComponent getParentVisualRepresentation()

Specified by:

getParentVisualRepresentation in interface VisualRepresentationService

See Also:

getVisualRepresentation

public javax.swing.JComponent getVisualRepresentation()

Specified by:

getVisualRepresentation in interface VisualRepresentationService

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.embedding.services.VisualRepresentationService#getVisualRepresentation()

setVisualRepresentation

public void setVisualRepresentation(javax.swing.JComponent jcomponent)

Specified by:

setVisualRepresentation in interface VisualRepresentationService

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.embedding.services.VisualRepresentationService#setVisualRepresentation(javax.swing.JComponent)

clearVisualRepresentation

public void clearVisualRepresentation()

Specified by:

clearVisualRepresentation in interface VisualRepresentationService

See Also:

com.sdm.quasar.client.core.embedding.services.VisualRepresentationService#clearVisualRepresentation()

collectSystemInfo

public void collectSystemInfo(SystemInfoNode root,
                              SystemInfoOptions options)

Description copied from class: AbstractFeature

Builds the system information tree upon local information of the implementor. The system information tree can be used within development by inspecting the system; so implementors should append their internal state (depending on the details settings within SystemInfoOptions). The information can be appended to the tree by adding new child SystemInformationNodes to the root node given using the SystemInfoNode.createChild(String) method and by setting information attributes the these nodes or the given root node. Subclasses should overwrite this method to append system informations

Specified by:

collectSystemInfo in interface SystemInfoProvider

Overrides:

collectSystemInfo in class AbstractFeature

AbstractFeature.collectSystemInfo(com.sdm.quasar.client.core.common.sysinfo.SystemInfoNode, com.sdm.quasar.client.core.common.sysinfo.SystemInfoOptions)
