|
|
27 * Interface of a control presenting information. The information is given in
|
|
28 * the form of an input object. It can be either the content itself or a
|
|
29 * description of the content. The specification of what is required from an
|
|
30 * input object is left to the implementers of this interface.
|
|
31 * <p>
|
|
32 * <em>If this information control is used by a {@link AbstractHoverInformationControlManager}
|
|
33 * then that manager will own this control and override any properties that
|
|
34 * may have been set before by any other client.</em></p>
|
|
35 * <p>
|
|
36 * The information control must not grab focus when made visible using
|
|
37 * <code>setVisible(true)</code>.
|
|
38 *
|
|
39 * In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
|
|
40 * <code>IInformationControl</code>, extension interfaces are used as a means
|
|
41 * of evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
|
|
42 * <ul>
|
|
43 * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.IInformationControlExtension} since
|
|
44 * version 2.0 introducing the predicate of whether the control has anything to
|
|
45 * show or would be empty</li>
|
|
46 * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.IInformationControlExtension2} since
|
|
47 * version 2.1 replacing the original concept of textual input by general input
|
|
48 * objects.</li>
|
|
49 * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.IInformationControlExtension3} since
|
|
50 * version 3.0 providing access to the control's bounds and introducing
|
|
51 * the concept of persistent size and location.</li>
|
|
52 * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.IInformationControlExtension4} since
|
|
53 * version 3.3, adding API which allows to set this information control's status field text.</li>
|
|
54 * <li>{@link dwtx.jface.text.IInformationControlExtension5} since
|
|
55 * version 3.4, adding API to get the visibility of the control, to
|
|
56 * test whether another control is a child of the information control,
|
|
57 * to compute size constraints based on the information control's main font
|
|
58 * and to return a control creator for an enriched version of this information control.</li>
|
|
59 * </ul>
|
|
60 * <p>
|
|
61 * Clients can implement this interface and its extension interfaces,
|
|
62 * subclass {@link AbstractInformationControl}, or use the (text-based)
|
|
63 * default implementation {@link DefaultInformationControl}.
