Hello,
I've been searching for answers or examples to what I'm doing, but so far I've
come up with nothing. I hope someone here can help me out.
What I want to do is create a specialized java editor that has certain regions
hidden by default, and in their place a summary of those hidden regions appears.
This would require having two views of the source code: the presentation view
and the real view.
An example of this would be:
Original (potentially scattered throughout the file):
int x;
int getX() { return x; }
void setX(int x) { this.x = x; }
Summary (details not worked out yet, but this is the basic idea (could put it
into a comment)):
int x --- getter | setter
At any point, the developer can "flip" to the verbose view. Don't mind the
details of how I am going to do the mapping and flipping between the summary and
its real code.
I'd like to find out how I can present one view of the document to the
developer, while maintaining an internal view representing the "real" source.
I believe that I need to do something with SlaveDocumentManager and something
else with IContentFormatter, but I'm not exactly sure what.
Am I on the right track? What would be the next steps? What I'm mostly looking
for is example code or at the very least a few pointers on which classes I
should be overriding.
I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
