RES: OpenCookie example

[Eduardo Maurício da Costa]

Richard,

So far, so good. You must add OpenCookie to your DataObject lookup. I use an
InstanceContent with AbstractLookup to add a new MyOpenCookie instance.

If both DataObject and your editor are on the same module, you can implement
it as an inner class.

If they are on different modules, and you don't care about their isolation
or extensibility, you can use an inner class, too (or pass the Lookup to the
OpenCookie).

Otherwise, you can override the DataNode.getNewTypes, using your preferred
way to locate appropriated instances.

Regards,
Eduardo

NetBean Platform developers,

WHAT I HAVE DONE:
I created a new Folder in the System Filesystem, using layer.xml, called
CustomFolder.
I created a CustomXMLSchema.xsd and used the New File Type Wizard to
generate the CustomDataObject and CustomDataNode.
I added sample CustomXML1.xml and CustomXML2.xml files to the CustomFolder.
I created a CustomTopComponent to display, edit, and save this File Type.
I have modified the example System Filesystem viewer (Ch 9 Rich Client
Programming) to show only the Custom Folder.
When I open one of the Custom XML files in the Custom Folder, I want the
CustomTopComponent to open instead of the default Text Editor.

WHAT I THINK I NEED TO DO:
I believe I have to create an OpenCookie class and a SaveCookie class,
and add it to the Lookup of the CustomDataNode. (This overrides the
default behavior for OpenCookie, I assume.)

QUESTIONS:
Is there an example of a OpenCookie class, and the code to add it to the
Lookup of the DataNode?
How do I pass or give a reference to the DataNode/DataObject to the
CustomTopComponent from the SFS?

Thank you for any help.

Richard Catlin
