Class IOPosition

java.lang.Object

org.openide.windows.IOPosition

public abstract class IOPosition
extends Object

Navigation (scrolling) in IO component.

Client usage:

  InputOutput io = ...;
  // store current position of IO
  IOPosition.Position pos = IOPosition.currentPosition(io);
  ...
  // scroll to stored position
  pos.scrollTo();
 

How to support IOPosition in own IOProvider implementation:

• InputOutput provided by IOProvider has to implement Lookup.Provider
• Extend IOPosition and implement its abstract methods
• Place instance of IOPosition to Lookup provided by InputOutput

Since:

1.16
