Constructor Detail

ParameterGroupHandle

public ParameterGroupHandle(org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.Module module,
                            org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.DesignElement element)
Constructs the handle for a group parameters with the given design and element. The application generally does not create handles directly. Instead, it uses one of the navigation methods available on other element handles.

Parameters:
module - the module
element - the model representation of the element
Method Detail

getParameters

public SlotHandle getParameters()
Returns a slot handle to work with the parameters within the parameter group.

Returns:
a handle for working with the parameters in this group
See Also:
SlotHandle

getHelpText

public java.lang.String getHelpText()
Returns additional pop-up help text associated with the group.

Returns:
the help text

setHelpText

public void setHelpText(java.lang.String text)
                 throws SemanticException
Returns additional pop-up help text associated with the group.

Parameters:
text - the help text
Throws:
SemanticException - if the help text property is locked.

getHelpTextKey

public java.lang.String getHelpTextKey()
Returns the resource key of the help text for this parameter group.

Returns:
the resource key of the help text

setHelpTextKey

public void setHelpTextKey(java.lang.String text)
                    throws SemanticException
Sets the resource key of the help text for this parameter group.

Parameters:
text - the resource key of the help text
Throws:
SemanticException - if the resource-key of the help text property is locked.

startExpanded

public boolean startExpanded()
Tests whether the UI can expand and collapse groups.

Returns:
true if can expand, otherwise false.

setStartExpanded

public void setStartExpanded(boolean value)
                      throws SemanticException
Sets whether the UI can expand and collapse groups.

Parameters:
value - true if can expand, false not.
Throws:
SemanticException - if the property is locked.
