Package org.cytoscape.application.swing.search

Class AbstractNetworkSearchTaskFactory

java.lang.Object

org.cytoscape.work.AbstractTaskFactory

org.cytoscape.application.swing.search.AbstractNetworkSearchTaskFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

NetworkSearchTaskFactory, TaskFactory

public abstract class AbstractNetworkSearchTaskFactory
extends AbstractTaskFactory
implements NetworkSearchTaskFactory

This abstract implementation of NetworkSearchTaskFactory makes the method getQueryComponent() optional. If your Network Search provider extends this class and doesn't overwrite the getQueryComponent() method, Cytoscape will use a default text field instead. It will also pass the new query text to the setQuery(String) method every time the content of the default text field changes.
