public class XDockingSideBar
extends javax.swing.JPanel

A panel for use in a docking framework. The sidebars are added to a border layout in the parent. Initially these sidebars do not appear as they have no content, as buttons are added for docked panels the sidebars reappear once the container's layout is revalidated. Clicking on an area outside of the preview causes the preview to disappear, while clicking on the preview button redocks the panel.

XDockingSideBar

public XDockingSideBar(java.awt.Container gpane,
                       java.lang.String location)

add

public void add(XDockable dockingPanel)

Add new button for the docked panel

removeDockable

public void removeDockable(XDockable dockingPanel)

Remove the button for the docked panel

getPreferredSize

public java.awt.Dimension getPreferredSize()

Get the preferred size of the component. This method returns values that dictate how the panel is displayed in the MultiSplitPane

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class javax.swing.JComponent

showPopup

public void showPopup(XDockable target)

Show a preview of the target panel's content. The preview is shown next to the sidebar and 'borrows' the content of the docked panel.

Parameters:

target - the docking panel who's content will temporarily be displayed in a preview window

hidePopup

public void hidePopup()

Hide the preview of the target panel's content. As the panel is hidden the docked panel's content is restored

Parameters:

target - the docking panel who's content will temporarily be displayed in a preview window
