public class ToolBar

extends Composite

Instances of this class support the layout of selectable tool bar items.

The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type ToolItem.

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to add Control children to it, or set a layout on it.

Styles:

FLAT, WRAP, RIGHT, HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL

Events:

(none)

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

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

Constructor Detail

ToolBar

public ToolBar(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:

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 Detail

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 Composite

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 Composite

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.

computeTrim

public Rectangle computeTrim(int x,
                             int y,
                             int width,
                             int height)

Description copied from class: Scrollable

Given a desired client area for the receiver (as described by the arguments), returns the bounding rectangle which would be required to produce that client area.

In other words, it returns a rectangle such that, if the receiver's bounds were set to that rectangle, the area of the receiver which is capable of displaying data (that is, not covered by the "trimmings") would be the rectangle described by the arguments (relative to the receiver's parent).

Overrides:

computeTrim in class Scrollable

Returns:

the required bounds to produce the given client area

See Also:

Scrollable.getClientArea()

getItem

public ToolItem getItem(int index)

Returns the item at the given, zero-relative index in the receiver. Throws an exception if the index is out of range.

Parameters:

index - the index of the item to return

Returns:

the item at the given index

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the list minus 1 (inclusive)

SWTException -

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

getItem

public ToolItem getItem(Point point)

Returns the item at the given point in the receiver or null if no such item exists. The point is in the coordinate system of the receiver.

Parameters:

point - the point used to locate the item

Returns:

the item at the given point

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

getItemCount

public int getItemCount()

Returns the number of items contained in the receiver.

Returns:

the number of items

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

getItems

public ToolItem[] getItems()

Returns an array of TabItems which are the items in the receiver.

Note: This is not the actual structure used by the receiver to maintain its list of items, so modifying the array will not affect the receiver.

Returns:

the items in the receiver

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

getRowCount

public int getRowCount()

Returns the number of rows in the receiver. When the receiver has the WRAP style, the number of rows can be greater than one. Otherwise, the number of rows is always one.

Returns:

the number of items

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

indexOf

public int indexOf(ToolItem item)

Searches the receiver's list starting at the first item (index 0) until an item is found that is equal to the argument, and returns the index of that item. If no item is found, returns -1.

Parameters:

item - the search item

Returns:

the index of the item

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the tool item is null
• ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the tool item has been disposed

SWTException -

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