Description Marian Mirilovic 2003-11-13 12:49:29 UTC 
Search results window should be opened in Document
Area as specified in UI specification
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/ws/ws_spec-netbeans_ide.html

Now (nb dev 20031113) it's opeend as dialog !!!
(it will not work this way, because user can't
select found node and it can't be transfered to
the opened source editor  )
Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2003-11-13 15:20:55 UTC 
Jano, what's your opinion on this? I thought there were two variants
possible: document area or standalone dialog. We've found the dialog
more useful so implemented it. See issue 36513.
Comment 2 jrojcek 2003-11-14 09:16:12 UTC 
I am investigating an option of showing the Search Results in Output
area. I hope it would require only the layout changes.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2003-11-17 14:33:03 UTC 
I prepared a quick spec for this issue. The spec moves the search
results window into the main window.

http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/ws/ws_spec-search_results.html

Tomas, please let me know what you think about this.
Comment 4 Tomas Pavek 2003-11-18 17:00:54 UTC 
Thanks for the spec. If we can't live without having the Search
Results inside the main window then the spec is fine. Will require
some work to make the Search Results back a TopComponent (furthermore
it must be defined in the module layer, must be a singleton and also
viewable with no content). But that all is doable. Do you strongly
prefer this solution over the dialog? In other words do we have to do
it for promo B?
Comment 5 Tomas Pavek 2003-11-26 16:15:50 UTC 
So we are going to implement the new spec.
Should not be too difficult - the ResultsView component needs to be
put back to a TopComponent and the buttons added again to it (instead
of being created by DialogDescriptor). We should get rid of using
ExplorerPanel which is deprecated and use just plain TopComponent. The
details how to abandon ExplorerPanel are described in
org.openide.explorer.ExplorerUtils javadoc - it is quite simple,
already working e.g. in Component Inspector in form editor.
