  org.eclipse.jface.preference.PreferenceNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

IPreferenceNode

public class PreferenceNode

extends Object

implements IPreferenceNode

A concrete implementation of a node in a preference dialog tree. This class also supports lazy creation of the node's preference page.

Constructor Summary

PreferenceNode(String id)
Creates a new preference node with the given id.

PreferenceNode(String id, IPreferencePage preferencePage)
Creates a preference node with the given id and preference page.

PreferenceNode(String id, String label, ImageDescriptor image, String className)
Creates a preference node with the given id, label, and image, and lazily-loaded preference page.

Method Summary

void	add(IPreferenceNode node) Adds the given preference node as a subnode of this preference node.
void	createPage() Creates the preference page for this node.
void	disposeResources() (non-Javadoc) Method declared on IPreferenceNode.
IPreferenceNode	findSubNode(String id) Returns the subnode of this contribution node with the given node id.
String	getId() Returns the id of this contribution node.
protected ImageDescriptor	getImageDescriptor() Returns the image descriptor for this node.
Image	getLabelImage() Returns the image used to present this node in a preference dialog.
String	getLabelText() Returns the text label used to present this node in a preference dialog.
IPreferencePage	getPage() Returns the preference page for this node.
IPreferenceNode[]	getSubNodes() Returns an iterator over the subnodes (immediate children) of this contribution node.
boolean	remove(IPreferenceNode node) Removes the given preference node from the list of subnodes (immediate children) of this node.
IPreferenceNode	remove(String id) Removes the subnode of this preference node with the given node id.
void	setPage(IPreferencePage newPage) Set the current page to be newPage.

Constructor Detail

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(String id)

Creates a new preference node with the given id. The new node has no subnodes.

Parameters:

id - the node id

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(String id,
                      String label,
                      ImageDescriptor image,
                      String className)

Creates a preference node with the given id, label, and image, and lazily-loaded preference page. The preference node assumes (sole) responsibility for disposing of the image; this will happen when the node is disposed.

Parameters:

id - the node id

label - the label used to display the node in the preference dialog's tree

image - the image displayed left of the label in the preference dialog's tree, or null if none

className - the class name of the preference page; this class must implement IPreferencePage

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(String id,
                      IPreferencePage preferencePage)

Creates a preference node with the given id and preference page. The title of the preference page is used for the node label. The node will not have an image.

Parameters:

id - the node id

preferencePage - the preference page
