Class DockableContainerFactory
java.lang.Object
com.vlsolutions.swing.docking.DockableContainerFactory
public abstract class DockableContainerFactory
extends java.lang.Object
An abstract factory used by the
DockingDesktop
to create instance
of Dockable containers.
This factory enables API Extenders to change part of the behaviour on the DockingDesktop
(mostly about look and feel issues) without modifying the code of that central class.

createDockableContainer
public abstract SingleDockableContainer createDockableContainer(Dockable dockable,
int parentType)
This method is called by the DockingDesktop whenever a dockable is inserted
in its containment hierachy.
createFloatingDockableContainer
public abstract FloatingDockableContainer createFloatingDockableContainer(Window owner)
This method is called when a dockable is detached from the DockingDesktop and put
in the FLOATING state.
The floating container must be an instanceof Dialog or Window.
createTabbedDockableContainer
public abstract TabbedDockableContainer createTabbedDockableContainer()
This method is called when a tab insertion is requested by the DockingDesktop.
createTitleBar
public abstract DockViewTitleBar createTitleBar()
This method is invoked when a dockable container needs to install a title bar.
This method is used by the standard implementation of Docking (DockView, etc) but is optional
for other implementations, as currently the titlebar isn't specified as a core component of
the docking framework (i.e. it is not an interface).
getFactory
public static DockableContainerFactory getFactory()
Returns the current factory.
it no factory has been provided, it will
fall back on DefaultDockableContainerFactory
setFactory
public static void setFactory(DockableContainerFactory f)
Changes the factory to be used by DockingDesktop.
Note that this change is not propagated to already docked components.
