Interface SwComponentFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSwComponentFactory

public interface SwComponentFactory

This factory creates the graphical components that are used by the docking library to build the docking UI. With this factory the components used by the library can be customized.

Information on using the component factory is in How to Use the Component Factory in The Sanaware Developer Guide.

The implementation of this interface should be given to the docking manager with DockingManager.setComponentFactory(SwComponentFactory). Otherwise the default implementation will be used.
