Re: [ve-dev] Customised Swing layout manager
|
Hi,
No we don't have documentation on this,
and at this time it is not API. We will eventually API this but we have
so many things to do. :-(
You're best bet is to find a layout
manager that is closest to what your's does, and then look at what is implemented
for it.

layout manager |

Hi all,
I was successful
in creating a override for loading my LayoutManager on the the layout property
list of the containers. When I started analysing the BorderLayout.override,
I came across a number of classes that do not have any API support and
that are part of jfc core internal package. I have also noticed other layout
related class like LayoutSwitcher, LayoutPolicyHelper, LayoutEditPolicy
and ConstraintPropertyDescriptor that may need to be implemented. Do we
have turorial or any documented help that would tell me how to go about
writing the edit policies for a custom layout manager and the required
classes for implementing a custom constrained layout?

Hi Rashmi,
The best way is to look at how this is done for a layout manager like,
say, BorderLayout. There is a file BorderLayout.override and
this defines the decorator for a factory, and the factory lets you control
things like GEF edit policies (that you will need to build). Look
at the existing factories and you should get a feel for how to do this.
To get your layout manager to appear in the drop down list of available
layout managers in the property sheet look at Container.override. You
could change the base file to add your own which would work OK for you,
but better would be to have your own Container.override in your own plugin
and defined your own layout manager.
If you need help understanding how to create a plugin and get started with
.override try the Visual Editor tutorial on eclipse corner and the VE homepage.
Best regards and please keep us informed of how you get on,
Joe Winchester

Customised Swing layout manager
Hi all,
I have implemented a swing layout manager along with the constraints class.
I loaded it to the eclipse enviroment as a bundle in the plugin. Now when
i use this layout in a visual class I am able to arrange the components
by changing the constraints values from the source view. But i am unable
to move the component on the design view(changing the constraints from
the properties and design view) .Can you help me out to solve my layout
poblem. Do i need to implement some a layout assistant that will interface
with my layout manager and the visualeditor.
Best Regards
-Rashmi
