A few month ago I built a rich editor for eclipse based on SWT browser.
I use this implementation from this time and now I want to integrate it in an EMF (EEF generated) GUI.
In this context this widget needs a focus managment but the SWT Browser does not manage those events (See Javadoc (event) ).
In my case I decide to rely on TyneMCE events managment (blur and focus), then react on those events invoking a BrowserFunction that allows javascript to java communication. In java side the Browser fonction notify an internal listener.
Rely on tinyMce events
those event are identified bty name : blur and focus. To be able to react to those events, add to your tiny init (JS) :
setup : function(ed) {
...
ed.onInit.add(function(ed) {
if (tinymce.isIE) {
tinymce.dom.Event.add(ed.getWin(), 'focus', function(e) {
evt_focusGained();
});
tinymce.dom.Event.add(ed.getWin(), 'blur', function(e) {
evt_focusLost();
});
} else {
tinymce.dom.Event.add(ed.getDoc(), 'focus', function(e) {
evt_focusGained();
});
tinymce.dom.Event.add(ed.getDOc(), 'blur', function(e) {
evt_focusLost();
});
}
});
},
Usage of BrowserFuntion
Browser function allow communication from javascript to java. Excerpt : "Instances of this class represent java-side "functions" that are invokable from javascript. Browser clients define these functions by subclassing
BrowserFunction and overriding its function(Object[]) method. This method will be invoked whenever javascript running in the Browser makes a call with the function's name."So I add in the completed method of the SWT browser progressListener :
browser.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
}
public void completed(ProgressEvent event) {
// used for setEditorText
completed = true;
loadEditorText((String) browser.getData("htmlcontent"));
new BrowserFunction(browser, "evt_focusLost") {
public Object function(Object[] arguments) {
notifyListenersFocusLost();
return null;
}
};
new BrowserFunction(browser, "evt_focusGained") {
public Object function(Object[] arguments) {
notifyListenersFocusGained();
return null;
}
};
}
});
In this implementation, you could see notifyListenersFocusLost() and notifyListenersFocusGained(). Those two methods relate to two listeners similar implementation.
public interface TinyFocusLostListener {
public abstract void focusLost();
}
private List listenersTinyFocusLost = new ArrayList();
public void addTinyFocusLostListener(TinyFocusLostListener listenerValue) {
listenersTinyFocusLost.add(listenerValue);
}
// Warning UI action use asyncexec in eclipse
private void notifyListenersFocusLost() {
Display.getCurrent().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
for (TinyFocusLostListener listener : listenersTinyFocusLost) {
listener.focusLost();
}
}
});
}
finally on Java side
myTinyIntegrationInstance.addTinyFocusLostListener(new TinyFocusLostListener() {
@Override
public void focusLost() {
//Add your code here
}
}
});
