Detailed Description

A workbench part is a visual component within a workbench page. There are two subtypes: view and editor, as defined by IViewPart and IEditorPart.

A view is typically used to navigate a hierarchy of information (like the workspace), open an editor, or display properties for the active editor. Modifications made in a view are saved immediately.

An editor is typically used to edit or browse a document or input object. The input is identified using an IEditorInput. Modifications made in an editor part follow an open-save-close lifecycle model.

This interface may be implemented directly. For convenience, a base implementation is defined in WorkbenchPart.

The lifecycle of a workbench part is as follows:

  • When a part extension is created:
    • instantiate the part
    • create a part site
    • call part.init(site)
  • When a part becomes visible in the workbench:
    • add part to presentation by calling part.createControl(parent) to create actual widgets
    • fire partOpened event to all listeners
  • When a part is activated or gets focus:
    • call part.setFocus()
    • fire partActivated event to all listeners
  • When a part is closed:
    • if save is needed, do save; if it fails or is canceled return
    • if part is active, deactivate part
    • fire partClosed event to all listeners
    • remove part from presentation; part controls are disposed as part of the SWT widget tree
    • call part.dispose()

After createPartControl has been called, the implementor may safely reference the controls created. When the part is closed these controls will be disposed as part of an SWT composite. This occurs before the IWorkbenchPart.dispose method is called. If there is a need to free SWT resources the part should define a dispose listener for its own control and free those resources from the dispose listener. If the part invokes any method on the disposed SWT controls after this point an SWTError will be thrown.

The last method called on IWorkbenchPart is dispose. This signals the end of the part lifecycle.

An important point to note about this lifecycle is that following a call to init, createControl may never be called. Thus in the dispose method, implementors must not assume controls were created.

Workbench parts implement the IAdaptable interface; extensions are managed by the platform's adapter manager.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void berry::IWorkbenchPart::AddPropertyListener ( IPropertyChangeListener listener)
pure virtual

The property id for getTitle, getTitleImage and getTitleToolTip. Adds a listener for changes to properties of this workbench part. Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.

The property ids are defined in IWorkbenchPartConstants.

Parameters
listenera property listener

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

berry::IWorkbenchPart::berryObjectMacro ( berry::IWorkbenchPart  ,
Object   
)
virtual void berry::IWorkbenchPart::CreatePartControl ( QWidget *  parent)
pure virtual

Creates the controls for this workbench part.

Clients should not call this method (the workbench calls this method when it needs to, which may be never).

For implementors this is a multi-step process:

  1. Create one or more controls within the parent.
  2. Set the parent layout as needed.
  3. Register any global actions with the site's IActionBars.
  4. Register any context menus with the site.
  5. Register a selection provider with the site, to make it available to the workbench's ISelectionService (optional).
Parameters
parentthe parent control

Implemented in QmitkFunctionality, and berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual QString berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetContentDescription ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the content description of this part. The content description is an optional user-readable string that describes what is currently being displayed in the part. By default, the workbench will display the content description in a line near the top of the view or editor. An empty string indicates no content description text. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with IWorkbenchPartConstants#PROP_CONTENT_DESCRIPTION.

Returns
the content description of this part (not null)

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual QString berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetPartName ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the name of this part. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with IWorkbenchPartConstants#PROP_PART_NAME.

Returns
the name of this view, or the empty string if the name is being managed by the workbench (not null)

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual const QHash<QString, QString>& berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetPartProperties ( ) const
pure virtual

Return an unmodifiable map of the arbitrary properties. This method can be used to save the properties during workbench save/restore.

Returns
A Map of the properties. Must not be null.

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual QString berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetPartProperty ( const QString &  key) const
pure virtual

Return the value for the arbitrary property key, or null.

Parameters
keythe arbitrary property. Must not be null.
Returns
the property value, or null.

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual SmartPointer<IWorkbenchPartSite> berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetSite ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the site for this workbench part. The site can be null while the workbench part is being initialized. After the initialization is complete, this value must be non-null for the remainder of the part's life cycle.

Returns
The part site; this value may be null if the part has not yet been initialized

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual QIcon berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetTitleImage ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the title image of this workbench part. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with PROP_TITLE.

The title image is usually used to populate the title bar of this part's visual container. Since this image is managed by the part itself, callers must not dispose the returned image.

Returns
the title image

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual QString berry::IWorkbenchPart::GetTitleToolTip ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the title tool tip text of this workbench part. An empty string result indicates no tool tip. If this value changes the part must fire a property listener event with PROP_TITLE.

The tool tip text is used to populate the title bar of this part's visual container.

Returns
the workbench part title tool tip (not null)

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart, and berry::EditorPart.

virtual void berry::IWorkbenchPart::RemovePropertyListener ( IPropertyChangeListener listener)
pure virtual

Removes the given property listener from this workbench part. Has no affect if an identical listener is not registered.

Parameters
listenera property listener

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.

virtual void berry::IWorkbenchPart::SetFocus ( )
pure virtual

Asks this part to take focus within the workbench.

Clients should not call this method (the workbench calls this method at appropriate times). To have the workbench activate a part, use IWorkbenchPage.activate(IWorkbenchPart) instead.

Implemented in QmitkFunctionality, berry::WorkbenchPart, QmitkDataManagerView, and QmitkStdMultiWidgetEditor.

virtual void berry::IWorkbenchPart::SetPartProperty ( const QString &  key,
const QString &  value 
)
pure virtual

Set an arbitrary property on the part. It is the implementor's responsibility to fire the corresponding PropertyChangeEvent.

A default implementation has been added to WorkbenchPart.

Parameters
keythe arbitrary property. Must not be null.
valuethe property value. A null value will remove that property.

Implemented in berry::WorkbenchPart.
