Class IOContainer

java.lang.Object

org.openide.windows.IOContainer

public final class IOContainer
extends Object

IOContainer is accessor class to parent container of IO tabs for IOProvider implementations. Default IOContainer (corresponding to Output window) can be obtained via getDefault().

If you want to add IO components (tabs) to your own component you need to:

• implement IOContainer.Provider
• create IOContainer via factory method create(org.openide.windows.IOContainer.Provider)
• pass IOContainer to IOProvider.getIO(java.lang.String, javax.swing.Action[], org.openide.windows.IOContainer)

New IO tab will be added to provided IOContainer.

Since:

1.15

Method Detail

create

public static IOContainer create(IOContainer.Provider provider)

Factory method for IOContainer instances

Parameters:

provider - Provider implemantation

Returns:

IOContainer instance

getDefault

public static IOContainer getDefault()

Gets the default container according to a generic IOContainer.Provider.

Normally this is taken from Lookup.getDefault() but if there is no instance in lookup, a fallback instance is created which can be useful for unit tests and perhaps for standalone usage of various libraries.

Returns:

a generic container

open

public void open()

Opens parent container

requestActive

public void requestActive()

Activates parent container

requestVisible

public void requestVisible()

Selects parent container (if it is opened), but does not activate it

isActivated

public boolean isActivated()

Checks if parent container is activated

Returns:

true if parent container is activated

add

public void add(JComponent comp,
                IOContainer.CallBacks cb)

Adds component to parent container

Parameters:

comp - component to be added

cb - callbacks for added component or null if not interested in notifications

Parameters:

comp - component that should be removed

select

public void select(JComponent comp)

Selects component in parent container

Parameters:

comp - component that should be selected

getSelected

public JComponent getSelected()
