Constructor Detail

CTabItem

public CTabItem(CTabFolder parent,
                int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CTabFolder) 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 CTabFolder which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
SWTException -

public Object getAdapter(Class adapter)
Description copied from class: Widget
Implementation of the Adaptable interface.

Specified by:
getAdapter in interface Adaptable
Overrides:
getAdapter in class Widget

getParent

public CTabFolder getParent()
Returns the receiver's parent, which must be a CTabFolder.

Returns:
the receiver's parent
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

setText

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from class: Widget
Disposes of the operating system resources associated with the receiver and all its descendents. After this method has been invoked, the receiver and all descendents will answer true when sent the message isDisposed(). Any internal connections between the widgets in the tree will have been removed to facilitate garbage collection.

NOTE: This method is not called recursively on the descendents of the receiver. This means that, widget implementers can not detect when a widget is being disposed of by re-implementing this method, but should instead listen for the Dispose event.

Overrides:
dispose in class Widget

Widget.addDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.removeDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.checkWidget()
