External Component [message #759012]

For my 3D App needs, I would like to integrate under the DesktopForm's MainBox (genarated by eclipse), the the jv.viewer.PvDisplay (which extends java.awt.Canvas) from javaview.de

Since I do not create this component but just reuse it, how can I carry a good integration?

The HowTo ExtendingScout seems to be inappropriate for this task.

Thanks.

I am not sure I can explain you in detail how you do this, but I can give you some input:

* On the graphs on the slides 18 and 19 in the presentation given at the Stammtisch Zürich (13 oct 2011) you will find some inputs on the code architecture.

* Have a look on the plug-ins added in the repository for the SVG Field (new with Eclipse Juno):
- org.eclipse.scout.svg.client
- org.eclipse.scout.svg.ui.swing
- org.eclipse.scout.svg.ui.swt

From my mind you want to do something similar for you 3D field.

Create your own GUI component (might have not functionality at this point):
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/HowTo/Add_a_custom_GUI_component

- copy the required libraries (*.jar) into the 'myapplication.ui.swing/lib' folder and ensure to have all jar files added to the bundle classpath ('Manifest.MF 'editor 'Runtime' tab 'Classpath' box).

- add the panel now to the custom ui component's initializeSwing method (new JView()...) .

Aware the configuration possibilities of the custom component model.

If you are using the SWT UI use the Swt Swing bridge:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Swing-SWT-Integration/index.html

Hope it helps

Hi!

is it possible to supply full source code of the "Scout/HowTo/Add a custom GUI component" example on its page?

I try to do what I can with the links you gave me but I am not yet out of the woods.

I finally came, it was almost to wrap an external component.
Tt's just the layout that is somewhat difficult, LogicalGridData being undocumented. Sad
