    • getActivationRequest

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationRequest(EditEvent e)
      Return the auto-activation request for this this tool in response to the given event. This method is only called for events of the following type: If the tool returns an Tool.ActivationRequest, it becomes eligible for auto-activation. However, the final decision about which tool will actually be activated is up to the ToolActivationPolicy used be the tool manager.
      Parameters:
      e - the MouseEditEvent
      Returns:
      an Tool.ActivationRequest or null if the tool does not seek to be auto-activated at this time.

    • getActivationRequestForMousePressed

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationRequestForMousePressed(MouseEditEvent e)
      Return the auto-activation request for this this tool in response to the given mouse press. If the tool returns an Tool.ActivationRequest, it becomes eligible for auto-activation. However, the final decision about which tool will actually be activated is up to the ToolActivationPolicy used be the tool manager.
      Parameters:
      e - the KeyEditEvent
      Returns:
      an Tool.ActivationRequest or null if the tool does not seek to be auto-activated at this time.

    • getActivationRequestForMouseDragged

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationRequestForMouseDragged(MouseEditEvent e)
      Return the auto-activation request for this this tool in response to the given mouse drag event. If the tool returns an Tool.ActivationRequest, it becomes eligible for auto-activation. However, the final decision about which tool will actually be activated is up to the ToolActivationPolicy used be the tool manager. Caveat: some tools may only be able to decide about their activation once the mouse starts dragging. However, this means that they may take the back seat with respect to tools requesting their auto-activation during the mouse-press already.
      Parameters:
      e - the KeyEditEvent
      Returns:
      an Tool.ActivationRequest or null if the tool does not seek to be auto-activated at this time.

    • getActivationRequestForKeyPressed

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationRequestForKeyPressed(KeyEditEvent e)
      Return the auto-activation request for this this tool in response to the given key press. If the tool returns an Tool.ActivationRequest, it becomes eligible for auto-activation.

      Parameters:
      e - the KeyEditEvent
      Returns:
      an Tool.ActivationRequest or null if the tool does not seek to be auto-activated at this time.

    • getActivationFeedback

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationFeedback(MouseEditEvent e)
      Provide feedback for the user about what would happen, if the mouse were pressed at the current location. This method is called while handling MouseMoveEvents. If this method returns null no feedback is provided at all. The activation request returned from this method is the same object that is used during getActivationRequestForKeyPressed(KeyEditEvent) to signal the auto-activation candidacy. This method should only return an activation request if it will actually candidate for auto-activation later on using getActivationRequestForMousePressed(MouseEditEvent) or getActivationRequestForMouseDragged(MouseEditEvent).
      Parameters:
      e - the MouseEditEvent
      Returns:
      the Tool.ActivationRequest

    • getActivationFeedback

      protected Tool.ActivationRequest getActivationFeedback(TouchEditEvent e)
      Provide feedback for the user about what would happen, if the finger were moved from the current location. This method is called while handling TouchMoveEvent events. If this method returns null no feedback is provided at all. This method should only return an activation request if it will actually candidate for auto-activation later on using getActivationRequestForTouchStart(TouchEditEvent) or getActivationRequestForTouchMove(TouchEditEvent).
      Parameters:
      e - the TouchEditEvent
      Returns:
      the Tool.ActivationRequest

    • getRenderPriority

      protected int getRenderPriority()
      Return the render priority for this tool. Tools with higher dispatch priorities are rendered earlier than tools with lower priorities. The priority should be in the range MIN_PRIORITY...MAX_PRIORITY. The default priority is equal to DEFAULT_PRIORITY.
      Returns:
      the dispatch priority

    • getDispatchPriority

      protected int getDispatchPriority()
      Return the dispatch priority for this tool. Tools with higher dispatch priorities receive events earlier than tools with lower priorities. The priority should be in the range MIN_PRIORITY...MAX_PRIORITY. The default priority is equal to MAX_PRIORITY minus the render priority.
      Returns:
      the dispatch priority

    • setManager

      protected void setManager(ToolManager manager)
      Receives the ToolManager instance, which the Tool implementation has been registered for. If the Tool is deregistered this method will be called with null.
      Parameters:
      manager - the ToolManager

    • propagatePropertyChange

      protected void propagatePropertyChange(String name, Object oldValue, Object newValue)

    • setEnabled

      protected void setEnabled(boolean enabled)
      Receive notification from the tool manager about the tool's enabled state. In general, tools need not and should not try to implement different behaviour depending on the enabled state, as this is already covered by the ToolManager calling the handleEditEvent(boolean, EditEvent) and render(RenderParameters, boolean) in the appropriate state only. However, some tools may need to perform extended actions (for example, for resource management purposes) upon a change of the enabled state.
      Parameters:
      enabled - controls whether to enable or disable this Tool

    • setActive

      protected void setActive(boolean active)
      Receive notification from the tool manager about the tool's active state.
      Parameters:
      active - controls whether to activate or deactivate this Tool

    • setCursor

      @Deprecated protected void setCursor(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Style.Cursor cursor)
      Deprecated.
      Use setCursor(String) instead. To convert existing calls easily, just add .getCssName() to the method's cursor parameter or use UIStyler.get().cursorStyle().[any method] instead to make use of all currently available css cursors

    • setCursor

      protected void setCursor(String cursor)
      Set the cursor on the associated view component. Tools should not generally try to change the cursor unless they are currently the exclusive tool. Cursor-feedback while not being the exclusive tool should be provided using getActivationFeedback(MouseEditEvent).
      Example: setCursor(UIStyler.get().cursorStyle().DEFAULT_CURSOR())
      Parameters:
      cursor - the css value of the cursor to be set

    • setStatusFeedback

      protected void setStatusFeedback(String feedback)
      Set the status feedback message published by the tool manager using ToolManager.getStatusFeedback(). Tools should not generally try to change the status message unless they are currently the exclusive tool. Status-feedback while not being the exclusive tool should be provided using getActivationFeedback(MouseEditEvent).
      Parameters:
      feedback - the feedback message to set

    • getManager

      protected ToolManager getManager()
      Return the current tool manager.
