All Implemented Interfaces:

IEditable, IGridLayoutPaneContainer, ISection, ITitledGridLayoutPaneContainer

Direct Known Subclasses:

SimpleSection

public abstract class AbstractSection

extends AbstractTitledGridLayoutPaneContainer

implements ISection

This is the abstract base class for all sections. A section is a specially fomatted GridLayoutPaneContainer with a title and a description and is intended to be used within forms of an editor. A section contains a GridLayoutPane as the user area, that can be filled by subclasses. The style of the section can be determined by supplying an implementation of com.tssap.util.ui.lfsupport.IWidgetFactory, e.g. DefaultWidgetFactory.

Constructor Summary

AbstractSection(IWidgetFactory widgetFactory, int columns, boolean equalColumns, java.lang.String title, java.lang.String description)
Creates a new AbstractSection.

AbstractSection(IWidgetFactory widgetFactory, int columns, java.lang.String title, java.lang.String description)
Creates a new AbstractSection with non-equal column widths.

Method Summary

void	initContainer(IGridLayoutPane glp) Initializes the section by setting title and description fonts, creating a new user area and calling the initSection(GridLayoutPane) method from the interface ISection that must be implemented by subsclasses to fill the section.

AbstractSection

public AbstractSection(IWidgetFactory widgetFactory,
                       int columns,

                       java.lang.String title,
                       java.lang.String description)

Creates a new AbstractSection.

Parameters:

widgetFactory - The WidgetFactory to use.

columns - The number of columns the client area should have.

equalColumns - Flag if the columns should have equal width.

title - The title of the section.

description - The description of the section

Method Detail

initContainer

public final void initContainer(IGridLayoutPane glp)

Initializes the section by setting title and description fonts, creating a new user area and calling the initSection(GridLayoutPane) method from the interface ISection that must be implemented by subsclasses to fill the section. Besides two other abstract methods are called before (preInitSection( GridLayoutPane)) and after (postInitSection(GrindLayoutPane) ) the initialization. Subclasses can implement these methods in case they want to supply addional layout at the top or at the bottom of the section (outside of the client area).

Specified by:

initContainer in interface IGridLayoutPaneContainer

Parameters:

glp - The client area of the super class to be filled within the abstract section.
