Interface ICompareNavigator

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    CompareNavigator
    public interface ICompareNavigator
    A ICompareNavigator is used to navigate through the individual differences of a CompareEditorInput or another type of Compare container.

    You can retrieve an object implementing the ICompareNavigator from a CompareEditorInput by calling getAdapter(ICompareNavigator) on the CompareEditorInput.

    Although it is legal for clients to implement this interface, it is better to subclass CompareNavigator.
