Annotation Type WorkbenchScreen

@Inherited
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface WorkbenchScreen

Classes annotated with this are considered WorkbenchParts that display some form of non-editable (but possibly still interactive) content. If the content is associated with a VFS path, or otherwise represents some sort of document that can be edited and saved, developers should consider using @WorkbenchEditor.

All classes annotated with @WorkbenchScreen must have a declared or inherited method annotated with @WorkbenchPartTitle.

There are two options for providing the screen's view:

1. the class implements com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.IsWidget (often by extending com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Composite)
2. the class declares or inherits a zero-argument method annotated with @WorkbenchPartView that returns the com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.IsWidget that handles the view. In this case the class need not implement com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.IsWidget.

Developers wishing to separate view from logic via the MVP pattern will choose the second option.

WorkbechScreens can receive the following life-cycle calls:

• @OnStartup
• @OnOpen
• @OnFocus
• @OnLostFocus
• @OnMayClose
• @OnClose
• @OnShutdown

Element Detail

identifier

public abstract String identifier

Identifier that should be unique within application.

owningPerspective

public abstract Class<?> owningPerspective

By default, a Workbench Screen will show up in the current active perspective. If this parameter is specified, this screen will only be shown on the given perspective. An attempt to navigate to this screen when a different perspective is active will first result in a switch to the owning perspective, then the screen will be shown in that perspective.

Default:

void.class

preferredHeight

public abstract int preferredHeight

Defines the preferred height. Preferred means that this Height will be used only if this screen is the trigger to create a new panel, if panel already exists this information is ignored.

Default:

-1

preferredWidth

public abstract int preferredWidth

Defines the preferred width. Preferred means that this Width will be used only if this screen is the trigger to create a new panel, if panel already exists this information is ignored.

Default:

-1
