public interface View
extends PageComponent

A view is a panel-like component displayed within an area on the page associated with an application window. There can be multiple views per page; a single view can only be displayed once on a single page. View instances encapsulate the creation of and access to the visual presentation of the underlying control. A view's descriptor -- which is effectively a singleton -- can be asked to instantiate new instances of a single view for display within an application with multiple windows. In other words, a single view instance is never shared between windows.

Method Detail

setInput

void setInput(Object input)

Normally this method is called from ApplicationPage.showView(String, Object), but may also be called directly.

Parameters:

input - the input, can be null
