Interface GofControlIdentifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

GofCheckBoxIdentifier, GofComboBoxIdentifier, GofControlIdentifierAdapter, GofEntryFieldIdentifier, GofHorLineIdentifier, GofListBoxIdentifier, GofListContMarkIdentifier, GofOutputTextIdentifier, GofPushButtonIdentifier, GofSpinButtonIdentifier, GofTitleAreaTitleIdentifier

public interface GofControlIdentifier

The GofControlIdentifier is an interface that must be implemented by all the classes that will be used to identify different controls.

Each of the classes implementing this interface can load their own settings from the configuration file.

The class implementing this interface must have a default constructor, without any parameters, since it will be created dynamically from the class name.

Method Detail

getControlSettings

void getControlSettings(IniFile confFile,
                        String subsection)

This method should read all the settings needed by the control identifier from the configuration file.

Parameters:

confFile - The server ini file.

identifyCtrls

void identifyCtrls(GuiOnTheFlyRuntime gofRuntime,
                   GofHostAreaIdentifier areaIdentifier,
                   PhantomHostScreen phantomHostScreen,
                   HostScreen hostScreen,
                   PhantomPanelData templPanel,
                   PhantomPanelData newPanel,
                   int offsetX,
                   int offsetY)

This method is where the class implementing this interface does all its work. The algorithm for identifying the control must be implemented here.

The classes implementing this interface should implement the following steps:

• Create PhantomControlBase
• Create PhantomHostField
• Create PhantomControl
• Add the control to PhantomPanelData
• Add the control to the GofHostAreaIdentifier it belongs to
• Mark the GofHostField connected to the new control as processed

Parameters:

gofRuntime - The GuiOnTheFlyRuntime instance.

areaIdentifier - The areaIdentifier in which the controls should be identified.

phantomHostScreen - The Phantom host screen corresponding to the host screen.

hostScreen - The host screen that we are trying to build a GOF panel for.

newPanel - The newly created Gui-on-the-fly runtime panel.

offsetX - The offset in columns for popup window.

offsetY - The offset in lines for popup window.
