      • openProgram

        void openProgram​(Program program)
        Opens the program to the tool. In this case the program is already open, but this tool may not have it registered as open. The program is made the active program.
        Parameters:
        program - the program to register as open with the tool.
      • openProgram

        @Deprecated
        void openProgram​(Program program,

        Deprecated.
        use openProgram(Program program, int state) instead.
        Opens the program to the tool. In this case the program is already open, but this tool may not have it registered as open. The program is made the active program.
        Parameters:
        program - the program to register as open with the tool.
        current - if true, the program is made the current active program. If false, then the program is made active only if it the first open program in the tool.
      • openProgram

        void openProgram​(Program program,
                         int state)
        Open the specified program in te tool.
        Parameters:
        program -
        state - initial open state (OPEN_HIDDEN, OPEN_CURRENT, OPEN_VISIBLE). The visibility states will be ignored if the program is already open.
      • setPersistentOwner

        boolean setPersistentOwner​(Program program,
                                   java.lang.Object owner)
        Establish a persistent owner on an open program. This will cause the program manager to simply make a program hidden if it is closed.
        Parameters:
        program -
        owner -
        Returns:
        true if program is open and another object is not already the owner, or the specified owner is already the owner.

      • releaseProgram

        void releaseProgram​(Program program,
                            java.lang.Object persistentOwner)
        Release the persistent ownership of a program. The program will automatically be closed if it is hidden or was marked as temporary. If any of these closures corresponds to a program with changes the user will be given an opportunity to save or keep the program open. If persistentOwner is not the correct owner, the method will have no affect.
        Parameters:
        program -
        persistentOwner -
      • closeProgram

        boolean closeProgram​(Program program,
                             boolean ignoreChanges)
        Closes the given program with the option of saving any changes. The exact behavior of this method depends on several factors. First of all, if any other tool has this program open, then the program is closed for this tool only and the user is not prompted to save the program regardless of the ignoreChanges flag. Otherwise, if ignoreChanges is false and changes have been made, the user is prompted to save the program.
        Parameters:
        program - the program to close.
        ignoreChanges - if true, the program is closed without saving any changes.
        Returns:
        true if the program was closed. Returns false if the user canceled the close while being prompted to save. Also returns false if the program passed in as a parameter is null.
      • closeOtherPrograms

        boolean closeOtherPrograms​(boolean ignoreChanges)
        Closes all open programs in this tool except the current program. If this tool is the only tool with a program open and that program has changes, then the user will be prompted to close each such file. (Providing the ignoreChanges flag is false)
        Parameters:
        ignoreChanges - if true, the programs will be closed without saving changes.
        Returns:
        true if all other programs were closed. Returns false if the user canceled the close while being prompted to save.
      • closeAllPrograms

        boolean closeAllPrograms​(boolean ignoreChanges)
        Closes all open programs in this tool. If this tool is the only tool with a program open and that program has changes, then the user will be prompted to close each such file. (Providing the ignoreChanges flag is false)
        Parameters:
        ignoreChanges - if true, the programs will be closed without saving changes.
        Returns:
        true if all programs were closed. Returns false if the user canceled the close while being prompted to save.
      • setCurrentProgram

        void setCurrentProgram​(Program p)
        Sets the given program to be the current active program in the tool.
        Parameters:
        p - the program to make active.
      • getProgram

        Program getProgram​(Address addr)
        Returns the first program in the list of open programs that contains the given address. Programs are searched in the order they were opened within a given priority. Program are initially opened with the PRIORITY_NORMAL priority, but can be set to have PRIORITY_HIGH or PRIORITY_LOW.
        Parameters:
        addr - the address for which to search.
