Interface MarkupDesignContext

DesignContext, DisplayItem

All Known Subinterfaces:

FacesDesignContext

public interface MarkupDesignContext

extends DesignContext

The MarkupDesignContext is an extension to the DesignContext interface that adds markup-specific functionality. This adds methods for previewing CSS style changes at design-time. A MarkupDesignContext can be accessed by calling the DesignBean.getDesignContext() method and testing the returned DesignContext for 'instanceof' MarkupDesignContext. If the file being designed is a markup backing file (eg: *.jsp), the DesignContext will be an instanceof MarkupDesignContext.

IMPLEMENTED BY CREATOR - This interface is implemented by Creator for use by the component (bean) author.
