Constructor Details

CoolItem

public CoolItem(CoolBar parent,
 int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CoolBar) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

• Widget.checkSubclass()
• Widget.getStyle()

CoolItem

public CoolItem(CoolBar parent,
 int style,
 int index)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CoolBar), a style value describing its behavior and appearance, and the index at which to place it in the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

index - the zero-relative index at which to store the receiver in its parent

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the parent (inclusive)

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

• SWT.DROP_DOWN
• Widget.checkSubclass()
• Widget.getStyle()

Method Details

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)

Adds the listener to the collection of listeners that will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

If widgetSelected is called when the mouse is over the drop-down arrow (or 'chevron') portion of the cool item, the event object detail field contains the value SWT.ARROW, and the x and y fields in the event object represent the point at the bottom left of the chevron, where the menu should be popped up. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should be notified when the control is selected by the user

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

Since:

2.0

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()

Description copied from class: Widget

Checks that this class can be subclassed.

The SWT class library is intended to be subclassed only at specific, controlled points (most notably, Composite and Canvas when implementing new widgets). This method enforces this rule unless it is overridden.

IMPORTANT: By providing an implementation of this method that allows a subclass of a class which does not normally allow subclassing to be created, the implementer agrees to be fully responsible for the fact that any such subclass will likely fail between SWT releases and will be strongly platform specific. No support is provided for user-written classes which are implemented in this fashion.

The ability to subclass outside of the allowed SWT classes is intended purely to enable those not on the SWT development team to implement patches in order to get around specific limitations in advance of when those limitations can be addressed by the team. Subclassing should not be attempted without an intimate and detailed understanding of the hierarchy.

Overrides:

checkSubclass in class Item

computeSize

public Point computeSize(int wHint,
 int hHint)

Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a CoolItem is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask the instance questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does it need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

Parameters:

wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

Returns:

the preferred size

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
