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.
