    • create

      public void create()
      Description copied from class: Window
      Creates this window's widgetry in a new top-level shell.

      The default implementation of this framework method creates this window's shell (by calling createShell), and its controls (by calling createContents), then initializes this window's shell bounds (by calling initializeBounds).

      Overrides:
      create in class SelectionStatusDialog
    • restoreDialog

      protected void restoreDialog(IDialogSettings settings)
      Restores dialog using persisted settings. The default implementation restores the status of the details line and the selection history.
      Parameters:
      settings - settings used to restore dialog
    • close

      public boolean close()
      Description copied from class: Window
      Closes this window, disposes its shell, and removes this window from its window manager (if it has one).

      This framework method may be extended (super.close must be called).

      Note that in order to prevent recursive calls to this method it does not call Shell#close(). As a result ShellListeners will not receive a shellClosed event.

      Overrides:
      close in class Dialog
      Returns:
      true if the window is (or was already) closed, and false if it is still open
      See Also:
    • storeDialog

      protected void storeDialog(IDialogSettings settings)
      Stores dialog settings.
      Parameters:
      settings - settings used to store dialog
    • fillViewMenu

      protected void fillViewMenu(IMenuManager menuManager)
      Fills the menu of the dialog.
      Parameters:
      menuManager - the menu manager
    • fillContextMenu

      protected void fillContextMenu(IMenuManager menuManager)
      Hook that allows to add actions to the context menu.

      Subclasses may extend in order to add other actions.

      Parameters:
      menuManager - the context menu manager

      3.5
    • createExtendedContentArea

      protected abstract Control createExtendedContentArea(Composite parent)
      Creates an extra content area, which will be located above the details.
      Parameters:
      parent - parent to create the dialog widgets in
      Returns:
      an extra content area
    • createDialogArea

      protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent)
      Description copied from class: Dialog
      Creates and returns the contents of the upper part of this dialog (above the button bar).

      The Dialog implementation of this framework method creates and returns a new Composite with standard margins and spacing.

      The returned control's layout data must be an instance of GridData. This method must not modify the parent's layout.

      Subclasses must override this method but may call super as in the following example:

       Composite composite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
       //add controls to composite as necessary
       return composite;
       
      Overrides:
      createDialogArea in class Dialog
      Parameters:
      parent - the parent composite to contain the dialog area
      Returns:
      the dialog area control
    • handleDoubleClick

      protected void handleDoubleClick()
      This method is a hook for subclasses to override default dialog behavior. The handleDoubleClick() method handles double clicks on the list of filtered elements.

      Current implementation makes double-clicking on the list do the same as pressing OK button on the dialog.

    • handleSelected

      protected void handleSelected(StructuredSelection selection)
      Handle selection in the items list by updating labels of selected and unselected items and refresh the details field using the selection.
      Parameters:
      selection - the new selection
    • getDialogBoundsSettings

      protected IDialogSettings getDialogBoundsSettings()
      Description copied from class: SelectionDialog
      Gets the dialog settings that should be used for remembering the bounds of the dialog, according to the dialog bounds strategy. Overridden to provide the dialog settings that were set using SelectionDialog.setDialogBoundsSettings(IDialogSettings, int).
      Overrides:
      getDialogBoundsSettings in class SelectionDialog
      Returns:
      the dialog settings used to store the dialog's location and/or size, or null if the dialog's bounds should not be stored.
      See Also:
    • getDialogSettings

      protected abstract IDialogSettings getDialogSettings()

    • reloadCache

      public void reloadCache(boolean checkDuplicates, IProgressMonitor monitor)
      Notifies the content provider - fires filtering of content provider elements. During the filtering, a separator between history and workspace matches is added.

      This is a long running operation and should be called in a job.

      Parameters:
      checkDuplicates - true if data concerning elements duplication should be computed - it takes much more time than the standard filtering
      monitor - a progress monitor or null if no monitor is available
