Implemented by tools supporting the editing process.
Clients may ask an IEditingSupport
whether it is currently
displaying a shell that has focus, and whether it is the origin of a document
event. Depending on the answers to these queries, clients may decide to react
differently to incoming notifications about events. For example, a special
editing mode, that usually deactivates when the main shell looses focus, may
decide to not deactivate if the focus event was triggered by an
IEditingSupport
.
Clients may implement this interface.

isOriginator(DocumentEvent event,
IRegion subjectRegion)
Returns true if the receiver is the originator of a
DocumentEvent and if that event is related
to subjectRegion .

boolean |
ownsFocusShell()
Returns true if the receiver is showing a shell which has
focus, false if it does not have focus or the helper has
no shell. |
Method Detail |
public boolean isOriginator(DocumentEvent event, IRegion subjectRegion)
true
if the receiver is the originator of a
DocumentEvent
and if that event
is related
to subjectRegion
.
The relationship between event
and
subjectRegion
is not always obvious. Often, the main
editing area being monitored by the caller will be at
subjectRegion
, when the receiver modifies the underlying
document at a different location without wanting to interrupt the normal
typing flow of the user.
An example would be an editor that automatically increments the section number of the next section when the user typed in a new section title. In this example, the subject region is the current typing location, while the increment results in a document change further down in the text.
