Package org.eclipse.swt.widgets

Class Sash

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Adaptable, Drawable
    public class Sash
extends Control
    Instances of the receiver represent a selectable user interface object that allows the user to drag a rubber banded outline of the sash within the parent control.
    Styles:
    HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL, SMOOTH
    Events:
    Selection

    Note: Only one of the styles HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL may be specified.

    IMPORTANT: This class is intended to be subclassed only within the SWT implementation.

    Since:
    1.0

    • Constructor Detail

      • Sash

        public Sash​(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 composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
        style - the style of control to construct
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
        • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

      • 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 Control
        Parameters:
        wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
        hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
        changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
        Returns:
        the preferred size of the control.

      • addSelectionListener

        public void addSelectionListener​(SelectionListener listener)
        Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

        When widgetSelected is called, the x, y, width, and height fields of the event object are valid. If the receiver is being dragged, the event object detail field contains the value SWT.DRAG. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

        Parameters:
        listener - the listener which should be notified
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
        See Also:
        SelectionListener, removeSelectionListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener), SelectionEvent

      • removeSelectionListener

        public void removeSelectionListener​(SelectionListener listener)
        Removes the listener from the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected.
        Parameters:
        listener - the listener which should no longer be notified
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

      • getAdapter

        public <T> T getAdapter​(java.lang.Class<T> adapter)
        Description copied from class: Widget
        Implementation of the Adaptable interface.

        IMPORTANT: This method is not part of the RWT public API. It is marked public only so that it can be shared within the packages provided by RWT. It should never be accessed from application code.

        Specified by:
        getAdapter in interface Adaptable
        Overrides:
        getAdapter in class Control
        Parameters:
        adapter - the lookup class
        Returns:
        an object that can be cast to the given class or null if there is no adapter associated with the given class.
