RAP 1.0 M5 - New and Noteworthy

This document will become the New and Noteworthy page for the next milestone release and meanwhile serves to document the development progress.

All features documented here can be obtained from CVS HEAD.

RWT

New Table features

The Table widget now notifies about double-click events by sending a SelectionListener#widgetDefaultSelected. The column order can already be queried and changed programmatically using getColumnOrder() and setColumnOrder(). Marking a column with setMoveable permits the user to change its order by drag and drop.

RAP Workbench

DrillDownAdapter

Drilldown Adapters are a feature available for TreeViewers to help navigate through the data, instead of having to deal with ever expanding trees. In this way you can essentially zoom in to view just one part of the tree, i.e., drill down. Only two lines of code were added throughout the initialization of the viewer to invoke this feature in the context menu. Only one line was needed to add them to the view's toolbar. They are shown below: // Create the Drill Down Adapter drillDownAdapter = new DrillDownAdapter(viewer); // Add the options to the view's toolbar (IToolBarManager) drillDownAdapter.addNavigationActions(manager); After adding them to the IToolbarManager of your view, they are looking like this:
