Interface ISlotDefn
- All Superinterfaces:

public interface ISlotDefn
extends org.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.IContainerDefn
Interface for the definition of a slot within an element. It defines methods
to get Meta-data information about a slot within an element. Elements can act
as a container, that is one that can contain other elements. A
container has one or more slots. Many elements have just one slot,
but some (such as the design) have several.

-
getContentElements
List<IElementDefn> getContentElements()Returns the set of element types that can appear in the slot. Each object in the list is instance ofIElementDefn
.- Returns:
- the list of content elements.
-
getContentExtendedElements
List<IElementDefn> getContentExtendedElements()Returns the set of element types that can appear in the slot. Each object in the list is instance ofIElementDefn
. Extended elements are replaced by actual extension elements.- Returns:
- the list of content elements.
-
canContain
Determines if this slot can contain an element of the given type.- Specified by:
canContain
in interfaceorg.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.IContainerDefn
- Parameters:
type
- the type to test- Returns:
- true if the slot can contain the type, false otherwise
-
canContain
boolean canContain(org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.DesignElement content) Determines if an element can reside within this slot.- Specified by:
canContain
in interfaceorg.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.IContainerDefn
- Parameters:
content
- the design element to check- Returns:
- true if the element can reside in the slot, false otherwise
-
getSince
String getSince()Return the version in which the slot was introduced. Returns "reserved" if the slot is not yet supported.- Returns:
- version in which the slot was introduced.
-
getXmlName
String getXmlName()Return the XML element used to hold slot contents. If blank, then the slot is anonymous (its contents appear directly inside the container.)- Returns:
- the XML element used to hold slot contents
-
