Eclipse4/RCP/Modeled UI/Tags
Most model elements support additional annotations called "tags". These tags are free-form strings; the model renderer may interpret certain tags to configure how an element is to be rendered. Several of these tags are defined on IPresentationEngine.
Tag | Description | Applies to | Defined by |
---|---|---|---|
persistState {false:true} | Whether the workbench should save and restore its state. Individual model elements can add it to their persistedState with the value of "false" to declare that they should not be persisted. | ?? | IWorkbench.PERSIST_STATE |
MPart
A part can be annotated with a "NoMove"
tag to indicate that the drag-and-drop system should not allow the user to move this part. (Defined by IPresentationEngine.NO_MOVE
)
MPartStack
Parts within a part stack can be annotated with a "NoClose"
tag to indicate that the part should not be closeable. The SWT renderer will configure the corresponding CTabFolder
to not display an "X" to close the part. (Defined by IPresentationEngine.NO_CLOSE
)
Parts within a part stack can be annotated with a "NoTitle"
tag to indicate that the part should not have a rendered title. (Defined by IPresentationEngine.NO_TITLE
)
MTrimBar
A TrimBar
will replace ToolControl
s with a "stretch"
tag with stretchable space. A ToolControl with "glue"
will ensure its siblings are kept together on the same line. The following example will cause the "find"
control to be placed flush right:
<menu:TrimBars> <menu:ToolControl contributionURI="platform:/plugin/blah/blah"> <tags>stretch</tags> </menu:ToolControl> <menu:ToolControl elementId="com.example.find" contributionURI="platform:/plugin/com.example.find/com.example.FindTextField"/> </menu:TrimBars>
(defined by TrimBarLayout)
