RE: [ve-dev] Are factory methods supported by Visual Editor?

Hi Gili,

 

Thanks!

 

-------------

1. So this means that, when I drop a ULCLabel from the palette on the canvas, there is no way to generate:

 

private ULCLabel ulcLabel = null;  // declaration for global

 

 

ULCLabel getUlcLabel() {

    if (ulcLabel == null) {

      ulcLabel = ComponentFactory.createLabel();

    }

    return ulcLabel;

}

 

 

-----------------

 

2. Moreover, we have a class ULCFiller. When a filler dropped from the palette into a container say ULCBoxPane on canvas, I would like to generate

 

       box.add(ULCFiller.createHorizontalStrut(150));

 

Note that there is no local or global var for filler and also no new ULCFiller stmt - it just uses a static method with an argument.

 

Is it possible to generate this kind of code?

 

------------

 

3. Then there is Separator.

 

When I drop a separator from palette on a Menu or ToolBar on the canvas, I would like to generate:

 

    menu.addSeparator();

 

Again note that there is no local or global var for Separator and no new ULCSeparator() stmt.

 

Is it possible to generate this kind of code?

 

-----------

 

4. In general how does one:

 

1. Customize code gen for a bean instantiation

2. Suppress generation of instance / local var for a bean

 

-----------

Thanks and regards,

 

Janak

At this time VE will only deal with a static assignments, e.g.,  ULCLabel l = ComponentFactory.createLabel(), where createLabel() is a static method.  This is since the Parse Tree can be evaluated, as is, on the target VM.

We plan to add generic method invocation with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49432

Subject	[ve-dev] Are factory methods supported by Visual Editor?

Hello,

Is it possible to specify factory methods instead of
constructors for the code generation part of VE?

I.e. what I want to get generated is the following:
   ComponentFactory.createLabel()
instead of
   new ULCLabel()

Thanks and regards,

Janak
