Method Detail

getArguments

List getArguments(String command,
                  ScriptingContext context)

Get the list of supported arguments. For example, the Mouse command should return a list containing "click", "move" etc. Commands which have no argument and rely just on parameters (param=value) should return null.

Parameters:

command - the current command.

context - a context.

Returns:

list of supported argument values.

getParameters

List getParameters(String command,
                   ScriptingContext context)

Get the list of supported parameters. Command handlers are free to parse the current command and return a filtered list depending on what is already specified. Parameters in the list should be String instances. If they are other objects than String, they may or may not be handled well depending on what the GUI supports.

Parameters:

command - the current conmmand text (complete).

context - a context.

Returns:

list of supported parameter names.

getParameterValues

List getParameterValues(String paramName,
                        String command,
                        ScriptingContext context)

Get values of a particular parameter. This is to be used for parameters which have a fixed set of acceptable values. The command wizard typically displays the values as a list.

Parameters:

paramName - parameter name.

command - the current conmmand text (complete).

context - a context.

Returns:

list of supported parameter values.
