EditContext (Smart GWT EE API 13.0p (2024-11-22))

java.lang.Object
- com.smartgwt.client.core.BaseClass
- - com.smartgwt.client.tools.EditContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.google.gwt.event.shared.HasHandlers, HasEditMaskClickedHandlers, HasEditNodeUpdatedHandlers, HasNodeAddedHandlers, HasSelectedEditNodesUpdatedHandlers
```
public class EditContext
extends BaseClass
implements HasEditMaskClickedHandlers, HasEditNodeUpdatedHandlers, HasNodeAddedHandlers, HasSelectedEditNodesUpdatedHandlers
```
An EditContext provides an editing environment for a set of components.
An EditContext is typically populated by adding a series of EditNodes created via a Palette, either via drag and drop creation, or when loading from a saved version, via addFromPaletteNode() or addPaletteNodesFromXML().
An EditContext then provides interfaces for further editing of the components represented by EditNodes.
Developers may explicitly define an edit context and initialize it with a rootComponent - the root of the user interface being created. The EditContext itself is not visible to the user, but the root component's liveObject may be.
As child editNodes are added to the rootComponent node or its descendants, liveObjects in the user will update to reflect these changes. The live objects for the edit nodes will be nested using the appropriate parent-child relationships, for the types of node in question. For example Canvases will be added as members of layouts and FormItems will be added as fields of DynamicForms.
To enable drag and drop creation of widgets from a Palette, a developer can use Canvas.setEditMode() to enable editing behaviors on the live object of the desired drop target (typically the root component).
To enable editNode creation via double-click on a Palette, developers can set the Palette.defaultEditContext.
Developers can also make use of EditPane or EditTree classes which provide a visual interface for managing an EditContext.

```
    Controls whether components can be dropped into other components which support child components.
    When enabled, during a drop interaction in which a PaletteNode or EditNode is the drop data, the Component Schema of the current candidate drop target is inspected to see whether that parent allows children of the type being dropped. If it does, the drop will result in a call to addNode() for a paletteNode or for an existing EditNode in the same tree.
    Specific components can disable nested drops by explicitly setting EditProxy.allowNestedDrops to false.
    This mode is enabled by default unless explicitly disabled by setting this property to false.

  - setPersistCoordinates
```
public EditContext setPersistCoordinates(java.lang.Boolean persistCoordinates)

public EditNode addNode(EditNode newNode)
```
    Add a new EditNode to the EditContext, under the specified parent. If the parentNode is not provided it will be determined from defaultParent.
    The EditContext will interrogate the parent and new nodes to determine what field within the parent allows a child of this type, and to find a method to add the newNode's liveObject to the parentNode's liveObject. The new relationship will then be stored in the tree of EditNodes.
    For example, when a Tab is dropped on a TabSet, the field TabSet.tabs is discovered as the correct target field via naming conventions, and the method TabSet.addTab() is likewise discovered as the correct method to add a Tab to a TabSet.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newNode - new node to be added
    
    Returns:
    
    newNodenode added
  - addNode

  - makeEditNode
```
public EditNode makeEditNode(PaletteNode paletteNode)
```
    Creates and returns an EditNode using the defaultPalette. Does not add the newly created EditNode to an EditContext.
    
    Parameters:
    
    paletteNode - the palette node to use to create the new node

  - makePaletteNode
```
public PaletteNode makePaletteNode(EditNode editNode)
```
    Creates a PaletteNode from an EditNode in this context's editNodeTree.
    This essentially creates a new PaletteNode with the EditNode.defaults from the passed editNode. The returned paletteNode could then be used with addFromPaletteNode() to effectively create a copy of the original editNode - specifically a new editNode with a new EditNode.liveObject created from the same defaults.
    However note that makePaletteNode() does not copy descendant nodes - use makePaletteNodeTree() for that.
    May return null if the passed editNode cannot validly by transformed into a paletteNode, for example if EditNode.canDuplicate was set false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    editNode - the editNode to use to make a paletteNode
    
    Returns:
    
    paletteNode derived from the editNode or null
  - makePaletteNodeTree
```
public Tree makePaletteNodeTree(EditNode editNode)
```
    Creates a Tree of PaletteNodes from an EditNode in this context's editNodeTree, by using makePaletteNode() on the passed EditNode and its descendents within the editNodeTree.
    The root node of the returned Tree will be a PaletteNode derived from the passed EditNode.
    
    Parameters:
    
    editNode - root editNode to make Tree of PaletteNodes from
    
    Returns:
    
    a Tree of paletteNodes or null

    parentNode - parent node of the node that was removed
    
    rootNode - root node of the edit context
  - pasteEditNodes
```
public void pasteEditNodes()
```
    "Pastes" editNodes previously captured via copyEditNodes().
    New editNodes will be added as root-level nodes of the editNodeTree unless a targetEditNode is passed.
  - pasteEditNodes
```
public void pasteEditNodes(EditNode targetEditNode)
```
    "Pastes" editNodes previously captured via copyEditNodes().

    Parameters:
    
    targetEditNode -
  - removeAll
```
public void removeAll()
```
    Removes all EditNodes from the EditContext, but does not destroy the liveObjects.
  - removeNode
```
public void removeNode(EditNode editNode)
```
    Removes EditNode from the EditContext. The editNode liveObject is not destroyed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    editNode - node to be removed
  - removeNodeProperties
```
public void removeNodeProperties(EditNode editNode,
                                 java.lang.String[] properties)

```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addSelectedEditNodesUpdatedHandler(SelectedEditNodesUpdatedHandler handler)
```
