Interface FoldType


public interface FoldType
Constants representing the "type" of a folded region. Implementations of FoldParser can also define their own folded region types, provided they give them values of at least FOLD_TYPE_USER_DEFINED_MIN. This allows you to identify and auto-fold specific regions of source code when opening files; for example, a Java editor could identify all import statements in a file as a foldable region, and give it a user-defined value for fold type. Then, the UI could provide a means for the user to specify that they always want the import region folded when opening a new file.

The majority of the time, however, code editors won't need to be that fancy, and can simply use the standard CODE and COMMENT fold types.

    static final int
    Denotes a Fold as being a region of code.

    static final int
    Users building advanced editors such as IDE's, that want to allow their users to auto-expand/collapse foldable regions of a specific type other than comments, should define their custom fold types using values FOLD_TYPE_USER_DEFINED_MIN + n.

    • FOLD_TYPE_USER_DEFINED_MIN

      static final int FOLD_TYPE_USER_DEFINED_MIN
      Users building advanced editors such as IDE's, that want to allow their users to auto-expand/collapse foldable regions of a specific type other than comments, should define their custom fold types using values FOLD_TYPE_USER_DEFINED_MIN + n. That way, if new default fold types are added to this interface in the future, your code won't suddenly break when upgrading to a new version of RSTA.
