public class McvComponentHolder
extends IdvComponentHolder

McIDAS-V needs its own ComponentHolder merely to associate ViewManagers with their parent ComponentHolders. This association is later used in McIDASVViewPanel to create a "hierarchical name" for each ViewManager.

Instead of having something like "Panel 1" appearing in the layer controls, we now have "ComponentHolder Name>Panel 1". Note: ComponentHolder names always double as tab names! McV also intercepts ComponentHolder renaming and updates the layer controls instantly.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Element	createXmlNode(Document doc) Overridden so that we can (one day) do the required extra work to write out the XML for this skin.
JComponent	doMakeContents() Overridden so that McV can do the required extra work if this holder is holding a dynamic XML skin.
void	doRemove() Lets the IDV take care of the details, but does null out the local reference to the UIManager.
String	getCategory() Overridden so that McV can return a more accurate category if this holder is holding a dynamic skin.
String	getTypeName() Overridden so that McV can return a more accurate description if this holder is holding a dynamic skin.
JComponent	makeDynamicSkin() Build the UI component using the XML skin contained by this holder.
protected JComponent	makeSkin() If the object being held in this component holder is a skin, calling this method will create a component based upon the skin.
void	setAsActiveTab() Tell this component holder's component group that the tab corresponding to this holder should become the active tab.
void	setIdv(IntegratedDataViewer idv) Mostly used to ensure that the local reference to the UI manager is valid when deserializing.
void	setName(String value) Set the name of this component holder to the contents of value.

Constructor Detail

McvComponentHolder

public McvComponentHolder()

Default constructor for serialization.

McvComponentHolder

public McvComponentHolder(IntegratedDataViewer idv,
                  Object obj)

Fairly typical constructor.

Parameters:

idv - Reference to the main IDV object.

obj - object being held in this component holder.

Method Detail

createXmlNode

public Element createXmlNode(Document doc)

Overridden so that we can (one day) do the required extra work to write out the XML for this skin.

Overrides:

createXmlNode in class IdvComponentHolder

Parameters:

doc - Parent document we'll use for XML generation.

Returns:

XML representation of what is being held.

doMakeContents

public JComponent doMakeContents()

Overridden so that McV can do the required extra work if this holder is holding a dynamic XML skin.

Overrides:

doMakeContents in class IdvComponentHolder

Returns:

Contents of this holder as a UI component.

doRemove

public void doRemove()

Lets the IDV take care of the details, but does null out the local reference to the UIManager.

Overrides:

doRemove in class IdvComponentHolder

getCategory

public String getCategory()

Overridden so that McV can return a more accurate category if this holder is holding a dynamic skin.

Overrides:

getCategory in class IdvComponentHolder

Returns:

Category name for the type of thing we're holding.

getTypeName

public String getTypeName()

Overridden so that McV can return a more accurate description if this holder is holding a dynamic skin.

Overrides:

getTypeName in class IdvComponentHolder

Returns:

The description of what is being held.

makeSkin

protected JComponent makeSkin()

If the object being held in this component holder is a skin, calling this method will create a component based upon the skin.

Overridden so that McV can tell the UIManager to associate the skin's ViewManagers with this component holder. That association is used to build the hierarchical names in the ViewPanel.

Overrides:

makeSkin in class IdvComponentHolder

Returns:

The component represented by this holder's skin.

setIdv

public void setIdv(IntegratedDataViewer idv)

Mostly used to ensure that the local reference to the UI manager is valid when deserializing.

Overrides:

setIdv in class IdvComponentHolder

Parameters:

idv - Main IDV reference!

setName

public void setName(String value)

Set the name of this component holder to the contents of value.

Overridden so that McV can tell the ViewPanel to update upon a name change.

Overrides:

setName in class ComponentHolder

Parameters:

value - New name of this component holder.

makeDynamicSkin

public JComponent makeDynamicSkin()

Build the UI component using the XML skin contained by this holder.

Returns:

UI Component specified by the skin contained in this holder.

setAsActiveTab

public void setAsActiveTab()

Tell this component holder's component group that the tab corresponding to this holder should become the active tab.
