XSWT for Eclipse form layout

类别：Java 点击：0 评论：0 推荐：

XSWT is an XML-based GUI-description language for SWT. The XSWT engine uses Java reflection to actually construct a user interface, so it is automatically compatible with current and future SWT controls. An eclipse editor for XSWT files is included.

现在开发的产品中用户界面也是用XML定义的，但是界面定义很不灵活。XSWT网站上介绍说XSWT是和SWT元素一一对应的，应该有很大的灵活性。

xswt的下载地址是：http://xswt.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xswt/download
也可以使用Eclipse的Update Manager从http://xswt.sourceforge.net/updates 在线更新。

下载了一个试用了一下，总体感觉还好。但是好像项目还没有开发完，文档没有。而且官方网站上说支持Groovy脚本语言的功能好像还没有提供。期待中。。。。

以下是一个我写的示例代码,演示了在XSWT中如何处理事件。

Event Handling?
2004-11-16 05:07

Hi all, I just now downloaded XSWT and took a quick look around. One thing that is not obvious to me is how to handle events. For instance, how do I handle a button selection? TIA, ted stockwell

Ted, This is not _really_ part of XSWT, but it"s relatively easy to set up. One of the many nice features in XSWT is that you can do: <button x:id="myButton" x:id.event="myEvent" text=... Then, when you reference your id"d widgets in your java code, you can do something like: String eventString = (String)widget.getData("event"); Now you have the string value of the attribute "x:id.event". The remaining part is to convert the string value to an SWT event (via reflection for instance) and to do a addListener(...) on the widget. Hope this helps Jan

Nice to see you here, Ted!

Right now, here"s how this works: In the XSWT file: <button x:id="buttonName" text="Click me"/> In your Java code: InputStream in = getClass().getResource("bounds_example.xswt").openStream(); Map controls = XSWT.create(shell, in); Button aButton = (Button) controls.get("buttonName"); aButton.addSelectionListener(new MySelectionListener()); In other words, any SWT control with an x:id will be in the Map that XSWT.create() returns, indexed by the ID string. Then you can do whatever you want with it. This is very workable, if a bit cumbersome. There have been several proposals floated to improve this. 1) Have XSWT generate an interface with getter methods corresponding to every x:ID attribute. Have a version of XSWT.create() that returns a dynamic proxy implementing this interface that looks at the name of the method, does the Map lookup for you, and returns the appropriate object. This would eliminate the typecast and would enable the compiler to catch coding errors more effectively. 2) Something along the lines of what Jan mentioned (originally suggested by Ed Burnette in the XSWT bug report), where you have an engine that looks up event names based on the x:id or possibly based on an extended attribute initialized using x:id.eventhandlername="value" and automatically sets the event handler using Java reflection. So you could write: Map controls = XSWT.create(shell, in); EventManager.hookup(controls, aControllerObject); and have it all just done for you. 3) And then you have the XSWT to Java compiler, which provides even more interesting possibilities for event hookup because you can just generate code that does it and bypass Java reflection entirely... Again, welcome to XSWT, Ted! Best regards, Dave Orme -- Got Java?
