Hi Kasper, As I understand, you want to create a ULC visual class that implements certain interfaces. For example:
public class MyPanel extends ULCBoxPane implements IActionListener,
IFocusListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void focusGained(FocusEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void focusLost(FocusEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public MyPanel() {
super();
initialize();
}
/**
* This method initializes AAAA
*
* @return void
*/
public void initialize() {
}
}
Is this what you want to do? If so, you can specify the Interface at the
time of creating the class. When you say "New > Visual Class", a dialog
comes up where you can specify the package, class name, base class,
interfaces, etc. See the attached figure.
The VE will automatically generate stubs for methods of the interfaces. Let
me know if this answers your question.
In case you want to generate default implementation of interface methods,
you will have to make use of templates using the extension point
"org.eclipse.ve.java.core.newStyleComponent":
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.newStyleComponent">
<category
name="ULC"
id="com.canoo.ulc.visualeditor.cat"
priority="300"
defaultExpand="false">
</category>
<visualElement
type="com.ulcjava.base.application.AbstractApplication"
icon="icons/clcl16/frame_obj.gif"
category="com.canoo.ulc.visualeditor.cat"
contributor="com.canoo.ulc.visualeditor.ULCApplicationSourceContr
ibutor"
name="ULC Application">
</visualElement>
You will have to create your own plugin. In the plugin.xml, specify the
above extension, define a IVisualClassCreationSourceContributor class and
corresponding template (a .javajet) file. Please refer to
ulc-ve-5.1.1\eclipse\plugins\com.canoo.ulc.visualeditor_5.1.1's plugin.xml
and templates directory.
Thanks and regards,
Janak
