- All Superinterfaces:

- All Known Implementing Classes:
ContentOutlinePage
public interface IContentOutlinePage extends IPage, ISelectionProvider
Marker-style interface for a content outline page. This interface defines the minimum requirement for pages within the content outline view, namely they must be pages (implementIPage
) and provide selections (implementISelectionProvider
).Access to a content outline page begins when an editor is activated. When activation occurs, the content outline view will ask the editor for its content outline page. This is done by invoking
getAdapter(IContentOutlinePage.class)
on the editor. If the editor returns a page, the view then creates the controls for that page (usingcreateControl
) and makes the page visible.Clients may implement this interface from scratch, or subclass the abstract base class
ContentOutlinePage
.Note that this interface extends
ISelectionProvider
. This is no longer required in the case of implementors who also implementIPageBookViewPage
(or extendPage
) as they are now passed anIPageSite
during their initialization and this site can be configured with a selection provider. However to avoid a breaking change 1) this interface will continue to extend ISelectionProvider 2) if an IContentOutlinePage does not set a selection provider for its site, the ContentOutline will continue to use the page itself for this purpose.- See Also:
