Package org.fife.ui.autocomplete

Class LanguageAwareCompletionProvider

java.lang.Object

org.fife.ui.autocomplete.CompletionProviderBase

org.fife.ui.autocomplete.LanguageAwareCompletionProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

CompletionProvider, org.fife.ui.rtextarea.ToolTipSupplier

public class LanguageAwareCompletionProvider
extends CompletionProviderBase
implements org.fife.ui.rtextarea.ToolTipSupplier

A completion provider for the C programming language (and other languages with similar syntax). This provider simply delegates to another provider, depending on whether the caret is in:

• Code (plain text)
• A string
• A comment
• A documentation comment

This allows for different completion choices in comments than in code, for example.

This provider also implements the org.fife.ui.rtextarea.ToolTipSupplier interface, which allows it to display tooltips for completion choices. Thus, the standard VariableCompletion and FunctionCompletion completions should be able to display tooltips with the variable declaration or function definition (provided the RSyntaxTextArea was registered with the javax.swing.ToolTipManager).

Constructor Details

LanguageAwareCompletionProvider

protected LanguageAwareCompletionProvider()

Constructor subclasses can use when they don't have their default provider created at construction time. They should call setDefaultCompletionProvider(CompletionProvider) in this constructor.

LanguageAwareCompletionProvider

public LanguageAwareCompletionProvider(CompletionProvider defaultProvider)

Constructor.

Parameters:

defaultProvider - The provider to use when no provider is assigned to a particular token type. This cannot be null.

Method Details

clearParameterizedCompletionParams

public void clearParameterizedCompletionParams()

Calling this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown. To set the parameter completion parameters, do so on the provider returned by getDefaultCompletionProvider().

Specified by:

clearParameterizedCompletionParams in interface CompletionProvider

Overrides:

clearParameterizedCompletionParams in class CompletionProviderBase

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - Always.

See Also:

• setParameterizedCompletionParams(char, String, char)

getAlreadyEnteredText

public String getAlreadyEnteredText(JTextComponent comp)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the text just before the current caret position that could be the start of something auto-completable.

Specified by:

getAlreadyEnteredText in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

comp - The text component.

Returns:

The text. A return value of null means nothing should be auto-completed; a value of an empty string ("") means auto-completion should still be considered (i.e., all possible choices are valid).

getCommentCompletionProvider

public CompletionProvider getCommentCompletionProvider()

Returns the completion provider to use for comments.

Returns:

The completion provider to use.

See Also:

• setCommentCompletionProvider(CompletionProvider)

getCompletionsAt

public List<Completion> getCompletionsAt(JTextComponent tc,
 Point p)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the completions that have been entered at the specified visual location. This can be used for tool tips when the user hovers the mouse over completed text.

Specified by:

getCompletionsAt in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

tc - The text component.

p - The position, usually from a MouseEvent.

Returns:

The completions, or an empty list if there are none.

getCompletionsImpl

protected List<Completion> getCompletionsImpl(JTextComponent comp)

Does the dirty work of creating a list of completions.

Specified by:

getCompletionsImpl in class CompletionProviderBase

Parameters:

comp - The text component to look in.

Returns:

The list of possible completions, or an empty list if there are none.

getDefaultCompletionProvider

public CompletionProvider getDefaultCompletionProvider()

Returns the completion provider used when one isn't defined for a particular token type.

See Also:

• setDefaultCompletionProvider(CompletionProvider)

getDocCommentCompletionProvider

public CompletionProvider getDocCommentCompletionProvider()

Returns the completion provider to use for documentation comments.

Returns:

The completion provider to use.

See Also:

• setDocCommentCompletionProvider(CompletionProvider)

getParameterizedCompletions

public List<ParameterizedCompletion> getParameterizedCompletions(JTextComponent tc)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns a list of parameterized completions that have been entered at the current caret position of a text component (and thus can have their completion choices displayed).

Specified by:
