org.eclipse.swt.custom
Class CTabFolder

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget
      extended byorg.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control
          extended byorg.eclipse.swt.widgets.Scrollable
              extended byorg.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite
                  extended byorg.eclipse.swt.custom.CTabFolder

All Implemented Interfaces:
Drawable

public class CTabFolder
extends Composite

Instances of this class implement the notebook user interface metaphor. It allows the user to select a notebook page from set of pages.

The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type CTabItem. Control children are created and then set into a tab item using CTabItem#setControl.

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to set a layout on it.

Styles:

CLOSE, TOP, BOTTOM, FLAT, BORDER, SINGLE, MULTI

Events:

Selection

"CTabFolder2"

Note: Only one of the styles TOP and BOTTOM may be specified.

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

CTabFolder

public CTabFolder(Composite parent,
                  int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a widget which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of widget to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -

SWTException -

  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null

SWTError -

  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread

computeSize

public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint,
                         boolean changed)

Description copied from class: Control
Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

Overrides:
computeSize in class Composite

 

 

computeTrim

public Rectangle computeTrim(int x,
                             int y,

                             int height)

Description copied from class: Scrollable
Given a desired client area for the receiver (as described by the arguments), returns the bounding rectangle which would be required to produce that client area.

In other words, it returns a rectangle such that, if the receiver's bounds were set to that rectangle, the area of the receiver which is capable of displaying data (that is, not covered by the "trimmings") would be the rectangle described by the arguments (relative to the receiver's parent).

Overrides:
computeTrim in class Scrollable

Parameters:
x - the desired x coordinate of the client area
