Notifies the part whether or not it is visible in the current perspective. A part is visible iff any part of its widgetry can be seen.

Parameters:
isVisible - true if the part has just become visible, false if the part has just become hidden


 

 

setFocus

public void setFocus()

Forces this part to have focus.


 

 

addPropertyListener

public void addPropertyListener(IPropertyListener listener)

Adds a listener for changes to properties of this workbench part. Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.

The properties ids are defined by the PROP_* constants, above.

Parameters:
listener - a property listener (not null)


 

 

removePropertyListener

public void removePropertyListener(IPropertyListener listener)

Remove a listener that was previously added using addPropertyListener.

Parameters:
listener - a property listener (not null)


 

 

getName

Returns:
the short name of the part (not null)


 

 

getTitle

public String getTitle()

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

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

Returns:
the workbench part title (not null)


 

 

getTitleStatus

public String getTitleStatus()

Returns the status message from the part's title, or the empty string if none. This is a substring of the part's title. A typical title will consist of the part name, a separator, and a status message describing the current contents.

Presentations can query getName() and getTitleStatus() if they want to display the status message and name separately, or they can use getTitle() if they want to display the entire title.

Returns:
the status message or the empty string if none (not null)


 

 

getTitleImage

public Image getTitleImage()

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

Returns:
the title image


 

 

getTitleToolTip

public String getTitleToolTip()

Returns the title tool tip text of this workbench part. 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)


 

 

isDirty

public boolean isDirty()

Returns true iff the contents of this part have changed recently. For editors, this indicates that the part has changed since the last save. For views, this indicates that the view contains interesting changes that it wants to draw the user's attention to.
