I think it will be very useful if the Generate Override Methods Dialog (maybe other dialogs my benefit as well with this idea) have a search option in the bottom that will filter the displayed results accordingly. I think this addition will save time when the user knows the name of the method but can't remember where it was defined.
I think this describes better what you need since an search is already implemented, you just need to type that an search field will shows up.
Created attachment 94555 [details] Screenshot of the dialog Sorry I was not clear enough. I am attaching a picture of the dialog to show what I mean: In this case I am subclassing JButton and I want to override the "validate" method. When the word "validate" is typed, the dialog should show all the nodes that contains it (expanding the tree as needed) and filter the method names. This search and filtering should be done right after a new letter is pressed. In this case, the last filtering should show: JButton expanded, with no methods listed. AbstractButton expanded, with no methods listed. JComponent as expanded, listing: - isValidatedRoot() - revalidate() Container expanded, listing: - validate() - validateTree() Also, I belive the seach label and its text field should be shown in the dialog all the time to "invite" users to use it.
Yes, I agree with you it will be really useful. Thanks for explanation and really rich example.
IMO the search capability is provided by tree visualizers somewhere in the platform.
Víťo, there is no point in assigning bugs for dialogs created by your group to other teams. Moreover I do not understand what you say. To quote: "the functionality is provided". Perfect, so it is provided? What else you want? In case you have a patch for our APIs feel free to report it as another issue.
When I thought of reporting this enhancement I based my description in the functionality by search in Options->KeyMap, but it applied to a Table not to a TreeTable.
Similar to https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228796 ?
Well, it's somehow similar, but not the same...
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
Still valid in 8.2 dev Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201607100002)
