JFace-Snippets are small and easy understandable programming examples of how to use the JFace API. To browse the examples, navigate to the examples GIT repository.

Copy Paste
The header section of each snippet is a link to the plain source. You can copy the source and paste it directly on the source folder or package in an eclipse project. The package and the class will be created automatically.

Contents

Dialogs

Snippet012 - Dialog with Image Buttons

Demonstrates usage of Icons in Buttons of Dialogs

Drop these icons also in the same package

Notification

Snippet081 - Notication API

Demonstrates usage of the non-blocking notification API


Snippet081 Shell1.gif

Layout

Snippet013 - Grid Layout Factory

Demonstrates usage of the GridLayoutFactory to enhance readability

Snippet013 Shell1.png Snippet013 Shell2.png Snippet013 Shell3.png

Snippet016 - Table Layout

Demonstrates (dynamic)layout support for TableColumns available as of JFace 3.3

Snippet016.png

Snippet027 - Tree Layout

Demonstrates (dynamic)layout support for TreeColumns available as of JFace 3.3

Snippet027.png

Viewers

Snippet001 - Table Viewer

Demonstrates a simply TableViewer with one column. It holds all important classes used for all Table-like JFace-Viewers (LabelProvider,IStructuredContentProvider)

Snippet1.png

Snippet002 - Tree Viewer

Demonstrates a simply TreeViewer with one column. It describes all important classes used for all Tree-like JFace-Viewers (LabelProvider,ITreeContentProvider)

Snippet2.png

Snippet003 - Table Label Provider

Demonstrates tables with more than one column and the usage of ITableLabelProvider

Snippet003.png

Snippet004 - Hide Selection

Demonstrates how the selection can be hidden when the user clicks in a table-row/column which doesn't hold any information. The standard behavior of SWT-Table is to leave the selection on the last column. This snippet removes the selection if the user clicks in an area not selectable

Snippet004.png

Snippet005 - Tree Custom Menu

Demonstrates how to create a different context menu depending on which item in the tree is currently selected this can also be used with a table of course

Snippet005.png

Snippet006 - Table Multi Line Cells

Demonstrates first use case for the OwnerDraw-Support added to JFace in 3.3 (available at SWT-Level since 3.2). This example uses the Viewers API in this special case the OwnerDrawLabelProvider to make items with more than one line of text.

Snippet006.png

Snippet007 - Full Selection

Demonstrates how you can use inline editing in tables with multiple columns that require to use SWT.FULL_SELECTION but hiding the selection from the user.

Snippet007.png

Snippet008 - Reveal Element

Demonstrates how you can scroll a TableViewer to the specific model element using TableViewer#reveal(Object)

Snippet008.png

Snippet009 - Cell Editors

Demonstrates minimal example when trying to add inline editing to tables to get familiar with the various classes needed (3.2 API)
