Method Detail

• findMultiViewHandler

  public static MultiViewHandler findMultiViewHandler(TopComponent tc)

  For advanced manipulation with Multiview component, the handler can be requested

  Returns:

  handle that one can use for manipulation with multiview component.

• createMultiView

  public static <T extends Serializable & Lookup.Provider> TopComponent createMultiView(String mimeType,
                                                                                        T context)

  Factory method to create multiview for a given mime type. The list of MultiViewElements to display is taken from MimeLookup.getLookup(org.netbeans.api.editor.mimelookup.MimePath). The context parameter has to be Serializable, so the top component can be persisted and later, when deserialized, it can again recreate the Lookup. Suitable candidate for an object that implements both Serializable as well as Lookup.Provider is DataObject. To register your elements into particular mime type see MultiViewElement.Registration.

  Parameters:

  context - lookup provider representing the object to displayed in the multiview

  mimeType - the mime type to seek for elements in

  Returns:

  multiview component
