Constructor Details

TrayItem

public TrayItem(Tray parent,
 int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a Tray) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

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:

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

Method Details

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should be notified when the receiver is selected by the user

addMenuDetectListener

public void addMenuDetectListener(MenuDetectListener listener)

Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the platform-specific context menu trigger has occurred, by sending it one of the messages defined in the MenuDetectListener interface.

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should be notified

Throws:

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

3.3

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()

Description copied from class: Widget

Checks that this class can be subclassed.

The SWT class library is intended to be subclassed only at specific, controlled points (most notably, Composite and Canvas when implementing new widgets). This method enforces this rule unless it is overridden.

IMPORTANT: By providing an implementation of this method that allows a subclass of a class which does not normally allow subclassing to be created, the implementer agrees to be fully responsible for the fact that any such subclass will likely fail between SWT releases and will be strongly platform specific. No support is provided for user-written classes which are implemented in this fashion.

The ability to subclass outside of the allowed SWT classes is intended purely to enable those not on the SWT development team to implement patches in order to get around specific limitations in advance of when those limitations can be addressed by the team. Subclassing should not be attempted without an intimate and detailed understanding of the hierarchy.

Overrides:

checkSubclass in class Item

Removes the listener from the collection of listeners who will be notified when the platform-specific context menu trigger has occurred.

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should no longer be notified

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

setHighlightImage

public void setHighlightImage(Image image)

Sets the receiver's highlight image.

image - the new highlight image

Sets the receiver's image.

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

setToolTip

public void setToolTip(ToolTip toolTip)

Sets the receiver's tool tip to the argument, which may be null indicating that no tool tip should be shown.

Parameters:

toolTip - the new tool tip (or null)

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setToolTipText

public void setToolTipText(String string)

Sets the receiver's tool tip text to the argument, which may be null indicating that the default tool tip for the control will be shown. For a control that has a default tool tip, such as the Tree control on Windows, setting the tool tip text to an empty string replaces the default, causing no tool tip text to be shown.

The mnemonic indicator (character '&') is not displayed in a tool tip. To display a single '&' in the tool tip, the character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string.

NOTE: This operation is a hint and behavior is platform specific, on Windows for CJK-style mnemonics of the form " (&C)" at the end of the tooltip text are not shown in tooltip.

Parameters:

string - the new tool tip text (or null)

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setVisible

public void setVisible(boolean visible)

Makes the receiver visible if the argument is true, and makes it invisible otherwise.

Parameters:

visible - the new visibility state

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
