Method Detail

isValidID

public abstract Boolean isValidID(String id,
                                  boolean force)
Test whether a given ID is valid in some known helpset. In lazy mode, should be a fast operation; if in doubt say you do not know.

Parameters:
id - the ID to check for validity
force - if false, do not do too much work (be lazy) and if necessary return null; if true, must return non-null (meaning the call may block loading helpsets)
Returns:
whether it is valid, if this is known; else may be null (only permitted when force is false)

showHelp

public void showHelp(HelpCtx ctx)
Shows help.

Parameters:
ctx - help context

showHelp

public abstract void showHelp(HelpCtx ctx,
                              boolean showmaster)
Shows help.

Parameters:
ctx - help context
showmaster - whether to force the master helpset to be shown (full navigators) even though the supplied ID only applies to one subhelpset

addChangeListener

public abstract void addChangeListener(ChangeListener l)
Add a change listener for when help sets change.

Parameters:
l - the listener to add

removeChangeListener

public abstract void removeChangeListener(ChangeListener l)
Remove a change listener.

Parameters:
l - the listener to remove
