Newbie questions
Dear All
How to maintain there is only one instance of a topcomponent window of a specific class?
How to close all topcomponent of a specific class?
Thanks
From Peter
Re: Newbie questions
Posted by Patrik Karlström <pa...@trixon.se>.
I'm closing all MMapMagnets (kind of property TopComponents), that should
only be visible when the MapTopComponents is with
final WindowManager windowManager = WindowManager.getDefault();
windowManager.getModes().stream().filter((mode) ->
!(mode.equals(windowManager.findMode(this)))).forEachOrdered((mode) -> {
TopComponent selectedTopComponent =
mode.getSelectedTopComponent();
for (TopComponent tc : mode.getTopComponents()) {
if (tc instanceof MTopComponent && tc.isOpened() &&
!windowManager.isTopComponentFloating(tc)) {
if (tc instanceof MMapMagnet) {
if (tc.equals(selectedTopComponent)) {
mActiveMapMagnets.add(tc);
}
tc.close();
mMapMagnets.add(tc);
}
}
}
});
In short, use the WindowManager and Modes.
And in context, no pun intended.

The reason is it important is that it provides context to try to understand
what you're trying to achieve. Can you always provide context, as well as
always think about the subject line, which right now has no context at all?
In what was is this a newbie question, at all?
but i just want to do these:
How to maintain there is only one instance of a topcomponent window of
a specific class?
How to close all topcomponent of a specific class?
OK, my reason is:
when you open an editor, there is a property window, whatever how many
editor you are opened, since there is only one active editor, so there is
only one property window. If can't control only one instance of a
topcomponent, how can we achieve this.
I am not sure why you think it is so important to ask for my reason to
solve a specific technical question. If people ask "how to solve my
for-loop error", do we really need to know his reason to write his
for-loop? Or I am thinking i am being discriminated.
Yes, the context will always be asked. In this case, the reason why the
Properties window works with the editor is because the Lookup is used. Here
you can learn about the Lookup:

If people in here think i am disturbing, i can quit.

I prefer not to use the traditional properties window. What i am doing is to build a 'logic simulator' in netbeans for people to simulate their logic-gates-design. Since the gates' logos are in square, so i want to create my ideal panel layout.

Hello Peter,
the cause for asking for context is just this: dependent on where You
want a TopComponent to be used, it's usually managed differently. E.g.
Palette windows etc. are usually used in the context of editing a
specific file type.
If I understand Your question correctly, You want to use a properties
window like in the GUI builder? It seems, the properties window is just
hidden for other files, You can e.g. open it using "Windows -> IDE Tools
-> Properties".
For property sheet extension, this tutorial might help:

Hello Peter,
the cause for asking for context is just this: dependent on where You
want a TopComponent to be used, it's usually managed differently. E.g.
Palette windows etc. are usually used in the context of editing a
specific file type.
If I understand Your question correctly, You want to use a properties
window like in the GUI builder? It seems, the properties window is just

OK, my reason is:
