super confuse for years
Dear All
I have been super confused by these for many years, what is the difference? when I use should which?
1. Lookup.getDefault().lookupAll
2. DataObject.find(FileUtil.toFileObject(realFile)).getLookup().lookupAll
3. Utilities.actionsGlobalContext().lookupAll
4. TopComponent.getRegistry().getActivated().getLookup().lookupAll
If I want to lookup all opened files, that mean all DataObjects. What I should use?
Thanks

thank you, i found out these code works, but some object is null so I have to filter it out
Set<TopComponent> set = WindowManager.getDefault().getRegistry().getOpened();
for (TopComponent com : set) {
DataObject d = com.getLookup().lookup(DataObject.class);
System.out.println("d=" + d);
if (d != null) {
com.repaint();
}
}
Thanks

Lookups is like a bag of objects, you can have global lookups or local
lookups.
*Globals*
1-*Lookup.getDefault() *- Is default lookup in general it will have all
services that exists on META-INF/services.
2- *Utilities.actionsGlobalContext() *- In this you can have the lookup of
all that have focus on Netbeans
*Ex.:* Utilities.actionsGlobalContext().lookup(FileObject.class);
Will probably give you the file opened that have focus on Netbeans.
*Local*
All other classes that implements Lookup.Provider*. *
TopComponent.getRegistry().getActivated().getLookup(), note that this
lookup probably can have all items of the default with additional items of
the TopComponent, because the constructor of TopComponent receives a lookup.
TopComponent.getRegistry().getActivated().getLookup().lookup(FileObject.class);
Will give you same as
Utilities.actionsGlobalContext().lookup(FileObject.class);
*If I want to lookup all opened files, that mean all DataObjects. What I
should use?*
You must to find what is the default class responsible by editor, is a
TopComponent, so you must get all TopComponent Implementations and get his
lookup.

Probably has other ways, but this way works.
