public class ExternalizingCGridArea
extends CGridArea

This CStation is intended to be set between a ScreenDockStation and a Dockable. It can clean up itself when it is no longer required.
This station will allow its children to be "maximized" on itself. Additionally the station can be "maximized" itself, but it cannot be "normalized" or "minimized" (it always remains floating on the screen).

Constructor Details

ExternalizingCGridArea

public ExternalizingCGridArea(CControl control)

Creates a new area.

Parameters:

control - the owner of this area

ExternalizingCGridArea

public ExternalizingCGridArea(CControl control,
 String uniqueId)

Creates a new area.

Parameters:

control - the owner of this area

uniqueId - the unique identifier of this station

Method Details

createSplitDockStationHandle

protected ExternalizedCSplitDockStationHandler createSplitDockStationHandle(CControl control)

Description copied from class: CGridArea

Creates the handle that will represent this as CNormalModeArea and CMaximizedModeArea.

Overrides:

createSplitDockStationHandle in class CGridArea

Parameters:

control - the control in whose realm this area is used

Returns:

the new handle, not null

getModeManagerHandle

protected ExternalizedCSplitDockStationHandler getModeManagerHandle()

Description copied from class: CGridArea

Access to the object that represents this as CNormalModeArea and as CMaximizedModeArea.

Overrides:

getModeManagerHandle in class CGridArea

Returns:

a representation of this as area

install

protected void install(CControlAccess access)

Description copied from class: AbstractDockableCStation

Called when this station is added to a CControl.

Overrides:

install in class CGridArea

Parameters:

access - access to the internals of the new owner

uninstall

protected void uninstall(CControlAccess access)

Description copied from class: AbstractDockableCStation

Called when this station is removed from a CControl.

Overrides:

uninstall in class CGridArea

Parameters:

access - access to the internals of the old owner

isMaximizable

public boolean isMaximizable()

Description copied from interface: CDockable

Tells whether this CDockable can be maximized by the user.

Specified by:

isMaximizable in interface CDockable

Overrides:

isMaximizable in class CGridArea

Returns:

true if this element can be maximized

isExternalizable

public boolean isExternalizable()

Description copied from interface: CDockable

Tells whether this CDockable can be externalized by the user.

Specified by:

isExternalizable in interface CDockable

Overrides:

isExternalizable in class CGridArea

Returns:

true if this element can be externalized

isMinimizable

public boolean isMinimizable()

Description copied from interface: CDockable

Tells whether this CDockable can be minimized by the user.

Specified by:

isMinimizable in interface CDockable

Overrides:

isMinimizable in class CGridArea

Returns:

true if this element can be minimized

isNormalizeable

public boolean isNormalizeable()

Description copied from class: AbstractCDockable

Always true, clients should not override this method unless they know exactly what they are doing.

Specified by:

isNormalizeable in interface CDockable

Overrides:

isNormalizeable in class AbstractCDockable

Returns:

true, unless a subclass requires very special behavior.

isNormalizingArea

protected boolean isNormalizingArea()

Description copied from class: CGridArea

Tells whether all children of this area are considered to be normalized. Clients should not override this method.
Note that if this method returns false, then the default CSplitDockStationHandle returned by CGridArea.getModeManagerHandle() will fail, clients must provide a custom implementation of CSplitDockStationHandle if they override this method.

Overrides:

isNormalizingArea in class CGridArea

Returns:

whether the children are normalized per default

getTypeId

public Path getTypeId()

Description copied from interface: CStation

Gets a unique path denoting the type of this station. This path will be given to MissingPerspectiveStrategy.createStation(String, Path) when loading a layout as a CPerspective.

Specified by:

getTypeId in interface CStation<CSplitDockStation>

Overrides:

getTypeId in class CGridArea

Returns:

the type of this station. Paths starting with "dock." are reserved for the framework. A value of null will just be ignored.

setAutoRemove

public void setAutoRemove(boolean autoRemove)

Sets whether this station can automatically delete itself from the application if the number of children drops to 0.
The default value of this property is true.

Parameters:

autoRemove - whether automatic cleanup is enabled

isAutoRemove

public boolean isAutoRemove()

Tells whether this station can automatically remove itself from its parent and the CControl.

Returns:

whether automatic cleanup is enabled
