Description Ayub Khan 2007-06-16 06:36:24 UTC

I need support for associating a PaletteController that I created to the TopComponent (directly). Current implementation
only allows Sub classes of TopComponent can only associate.

Background:
To fix issue#106178, with help from Stanislav Aubrecht, I am now using reflection code to associate a PaletteController
to the dataobject of my choice. S. Aubrecht, mentioned that it is more of a hack than a proper fix to the problem. This
is not without a side-effect, ie., even if all the documents are closed, the palette is still visible, because the
navigator holds onto the last documents dataobject.

This bug is for Milestone 10 of NB6.0

Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2007-06-18 08:59:16 UTC

this is a new use case for the palette api, not a bug

Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2008-11-04 10:44:48 UTC

Lowering priority to P3.

Need more info about the usecase and its importance.
