Interface AttributeEditorStateManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSwingAttributeTreeStateManager, SwtAttributeTreeStateManager

public interface AttributeEditorStateManager

This interface describes the methods that have to be implemented to provide a manager for restoring the state of an AttributeEditor after an AttributableOnSet has changed.

The implementation is responsible for mapping a specific AttributableOnSet (which might be a AttributableOnSetCollection) to a stored state that usually includes properties like selection, expansion and scroll position.

Implementations of this interface are used in AttributeTrees and can be assigned by using AttributeTree.setAttributeEditorStateManager(AttributeEditorStateManager).

The callback method storeEditorState(AttributableOnSet) is called before the AttributableOnSet instance assigned to the editor is replaced by a different one and restoreEditorState(AttributableOnSet) is called after it has been replaced.
