Interface IHistoryPageSite


  • public interface IHistoryPageSite
    A site which provides access to the context in which this page is being displayed. Instances of this interface serve a similar purpose to IWorkbenchSite instances but is provided as a separate objects to allow clients to access the different site types (view, editor, dialog) using a common interface. This interface also provides access to the part for the site because this is required by some UI components. Clients should not need to access the part.

    Clients can determine the type of workbench site by doing instanceof checks on the object returned by getWorkbenchSite. Similar instanceof checks can be done with the part.

    This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
