InfoNode Docking Windows

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.3.0

Notes:
  New features:

  - Added methods for preferred minimize direction. See
    DockingWindow.setPreferredMinimizeDirection() and
    DockingWindow.getPreferredMinimizeDirection(). 

  - Much improved window restore algorithm which should be able to
    restore most layouts correctly. Note that when restoring tab and
    split windows, the actual tab and split window is not restored,
    but rather the views inside it. See the developer's guide for
    more information.

  - When pressing the Shift key during a window drag and drop the
    tab will not be selected on drag and drop. This makes it
    possible to enable tab selection on mouse button press and
    still drag a tab into the selected tab in the same tabbed
    panel. Use RootWindowProperties.getTabWindowProperties().
    getTabbedPanelProperties().setTabSelectTrigger() to enable
    tab selection on mouse button press.

  - Made it easier to split a window inside a TabWindow by
    enlarging the split detection area for the inner window.
    Also increased RootWindowProperties.EDGE_SPLIT_DISTANCE to 6
    to simplify splitting.

  - Added the possibility of triggering window drags from
    the outside. See the net.infonode.docking.drag package and
    especially the DockingWindowDragSource class.

  - Added support for custom components in the tab area of an
    AbstractTabWindow. The components are shown between the scroll
    buttons and the close/minimize/restore buttons. See
    AbstractTabWindow.getCustomTabAreaComponents().

  - Added support for custom components in a view tab.
    The components are shown between the window title and the
    close/minimize/restore buttons. See
    View.getCustomTabComponents().

  - Added DockingWindowActionProvider's, see the
    net.infonode.docking.action package.

  - Added a property for the action performed when a docking
    window button is clicked, see
    WindowTabButtonProperty.ACTION_PROVIDER. Setting this property
    will overrride the default action, for example minimize.

  - WindowMenuUtil now displays icons in the popup menus. It uses
    action providers to get the icons.

  - Added support for adding mouse button listeners to a window tab.
    The listeners are called when a mouse button is pressed, clicked
    or released on the window tab. See
    DockingWindow.addTabMouseButtonListener() and
    DockingWindow.removeTabMouseButtonListener().

  - Added new methods to DockingWindowListener. Events are
    now generated when a window is added, removed, shown, hidden or
    when the view focus changes.

  - Added a DockingWindowTitleProvider interface which provides
    a title for a docking window. It can be set on a window using
    the DockingWindowProperties.TITLE_PROVIDER property. The
    SimpleDockingWindowTitleProvider is the title provider used
    for a window when there is no title provider in the window
    properties. LengthLimitedDockingWindowTitleProvider is a docking
    window title provider that provides a title that can be length
    limited.


  Fixed bugs:

  - Fixed a bug that caused an indication that a window could be
    splitted with itself.

  - Fixed a bug that caused an exception in the popup menu
    factories created in WindowMenuUtil when triggering the popup menu
    on the root window and all views are added to the root window.

  - Fixed a bug that caused the window buttons to change appearance
    when using for example Skin Look and Feel. Now the buttons never
    change UI class.
