Interface ISystemPromptableObject

All Superinterfaces:

IAdaptable

public interface ISystemPromptableObject

extends IAdaptable

This interface captures special-case objects in the SystemView that are only there to prompt the user to create something new. Eg "New Connection..." which when selected launches the new connection wizard.

These promptables can either run when expanded, or they can show child promptable objects

Related adapter is org.eclipse.rse.ui.view.SystemViewPromptableAdapter

Method Summary

ISystemPromptableObject[]	getChildren() Return the child promptable objects.
ImageDescriptor	getImageDescriptor() Returns an image descriptor for the image.
Object	getParent() Get the parent object (within tree view)
IRSESystemType[]	getSystemTypes() Returns the list of system types this promptable object is associated with.
String	getText() Return the label for this object
String	getType() Return the type label for this object
boolean	hasChildren() Return true if this is an expandable prompt
Object[]	run(Shell shell) Run this prompt.
void	setParent(Object parent) Set the parent object so that we can respond to getParent requests

Method Detail

getSystemTypes

public IRSESystemType[] getSystemTypes()

Returns the list of system types this promptable object is associated with. This is important to implement label and icon decorators for promptable objects.

Returns:

The list of associated system types or an empty list.

getParent

public Object getParent()

Get the parent object (within tree view)

setParent

public void setParent(Object parent)

Set the parent object so that we can respond to getParent requests

getImageDescriptor

public ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor()

Returns an image descriptor for the image. More efficient than getting the image. Calls getImage on the subsystem's owning factory.

getText

public String getText()

Return the label for this object

getType

public String getType()

Return the type label for this object

run

public Object[] run(Shell shell)

Run this prompt. This should return an appropriate ISystemMessageObject to show as the child, reflecting if it ran successfully, was cancelled or failed.

getChildren

public ISystemPromptableObject[] getChildren()

Return the child promptable objects. If this returns null, then SystemViewPromptableAdapter will subsequently call run(Shell).

hasChildren

public boolean hasChildren()

Return true if this is an expandable prompt
