| org.eclipse.jface.viewers.IBaseLabelProvider
All known Subclasses: org.eclipse.jface.viewers.BaseLabelProvider,
| IBaseLabelProvider | | public interface IBaseLabelProvider (Code) | | A label provider maps an element of the viewer's model to
an optional image and optional text string used to display
the element in the viewer's control. Certain label providers
may allow multiple labels per element.
This is an "abstract interface", defining methods common
to all label providers, but does not actually define the methods
to get the label(s) for an element. This interface should never
be directly implemented.
Most viewers will take either an ILabelProvider or
an ITableLabelProvider.
A label provider must not be shared between viewers
since a label provider generally manages SWT resources (images),
which must be disposed when the viewer is disposed.
To simplify life cycle management, the current label provider
of a viewer is disposed when the viewer is disposed.
Label providers can be used outside the context of viewers wherever
images are needed. When label providers are used in this fashion
it is the responsibility of the user to ensure dispose
is called when the provider is no longer needed.

| addListener | | public void addListener(ILabelProviderListener listener)(Code) | | Adds a listener to this label provider.
Has no effect if an identical listener is already registered.
Label provider listeners are informed about state changes
that affect the rendering of the viewer that uses this label provider.
Parameters:
listener - a label provider listener |
| dispose | | public void dispose()(Code) | | Disposes of this label provider. When a label provider is
attached to a viewer, the viewer will automatically call
this method when the viewer is being closed. When label providers
are used outside of the context of a viewer, it is the client's
responsibility to ensure that this method is called when the
provider is no longer needed.
|
| isLabelProperty | | public boolean isLabelProperty(Object element, String property)(Code) | | Returns whether the label would be affected
by a change to the given property of the given element.
This can be used to optimize a non-structural viewer update.
If the property mentioned in the update does not affect the label,
then the viewer need not update the label.
Parameters:
element - the element
Parameters:
property - the property true if the label would be affected,and false if it would be unaffected |
| removeListener | | public void removeListener(ILabelProviderListener listener)(Code) | | Removes a listener to this label provider.
Has no affect if an identical listener is not registered.
Parameters:
listener - a label provider listener |
