public class WindowEvent
extends TypedEvent

A WindowEvent is sent by a Browser when a new window needs to be created or when an existing window needs to be closed. This notification occurs when a javascript command such as window.open or window.close gets executed by a Browser.

The following example shows how WindowEvent's are typically handled.

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Display display = new Display();
                Shell shell = new Shell(display);
                shell.setText("Main Window");
                shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
                Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
                initialize(display, browser);
                shell.open();
                browser.setUrl("http://www.eclipse.org");
                while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
                        if (!display.readAndDispatch())
                                display.sleep();
                }
                display.dispose();
        }

        static void initialize(final Display display, Browser browser) {
                browser.addOpenWindowListener(new OpenWindowListener() {
                        public void open(WindowEvent event) {
                                // Certain platforms can provide a default full browser.
                                // simply return in that case if the application prefers
                                // the default full browser to the embedded one set below.
                                if (!event.required) return;

                                // Embed the new window
                                Shell shell = new Shell(display);
                                shell.setText("New Window");
                                shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
                                Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
                                initialize(display, browser);
                                event.browser = browser;
                        }
                });
                browser.addVisibilityWindowListener(new VisibilityWindowListener() {
                        public void hide(WindowEvent event) {
                                Browser browser = (Browser)event.widget;
                                Shell shell = browser.getShell();
                                shell.setVisible(false);
                        }
                        public void show(WindowEvent event) {
                                Browser browser = (Browser)event.widget;
                                Shell shell = browser.getShell();
                                if (event.location != null) shell.setLocation(event.location);
                                if (event.size != null) {
                                        Point size = event.size;
                                        shell.setSize(shell.computeSize(size.x, size.y));
                                }
                                if (event.addressBar || event.menuBar || event.statusBar || event.toolBar) {
                                        // Create widgets for the address bar, menu bar, status bar and/or tool bar
                                        // leave enough space in the Shell to accommodate a Browser of the size
                                        // given by event.size
                                }
                                shell.open();
                        }
                });
                browser.addCloseWindowListener(new CloseWindowListener() {
                        public void close(WindowEvent event) {
                                Browser browser = (Browser)event.widget;
                                Shell shell = browser.getShell();
                                shell.close();
                        }
                });
        }
 

The following notifications are emitted when the user selects a hyperlink that targets a new window or as the result of a javascript that executes window.open.

Main Browser

• User selects a link that opens in a new window or javascript requests a new window
• OpenWindowListener.open() notified
  • Application creates a new Shell and a second Browser inside that Shell
  • Application registers WindowListener's on that second Browser, such as VisibilityWindowListener
  • Application returns the second Browser as the host for the new window content

Second Browser

• VisibilityWindowListener.show() notified
  • Application sets navigation tool bar, status bar, menu bar and Shell size
  • Application makes the Shell hosting the second Browser visible
  • User now sees the new window

Since:

3.0
