Class LabelProvider

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    IProviderFlagsChangeListener, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider.IStyledLabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.IBaseLabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ILabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ITableColorProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ITableLabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.IToolTipProvider, org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ICommonLabelProvider, org.eclipse.ui.navigator.IDescriptionProvider, org.eclipse.ui.navigator.IMementoAware

    public class LabelProvider
    extends org.eclipse.jface.viewers.StyledCellLabelProvider
    implements IProviderFlagsChangeListener, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider.IStyledLabelProvider, org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ICommonLabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ITableLabelProvider, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ITableColorProvider
    The iizi general purpose label provider.

    The label provider implementation is straight-forward. Its task is to produce a textual and graphical representation of every element. In addition, it implements the IDescriptionProvider interface to provide description in the status bar when an element is selected. Please note, that this class is not CNF-specific but is related to JFace ContentProvider and JFace LabelProvider, as usual for any Viewer.
