Package org.eclipse.gef.commands
Class CommandStack
java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.gef.commands.CommandStack
An implementation of a command stack. A stack manages the executing, undoing,
and redoing of
Commands
. Executed commands are pushed onto a
a stack for undoing later. Commands which are undone are pushed onto a redo
stack. Whenever a new command is executed, the redo stack is flushed.
A CommandStack contains a dirty property. This property can be used to
determine when persisting changes is required. The stack is dirty whenever
the last executed or redone command is different than the command that was at
the top of the undo stack when markSaveLocation()
was last called.
Initially, the undo stack is empty, and not dirty.

POST_MASK
public static final int POST_MASKA bit-mask indicating notification after the command stack has changed. This includes after a command has been undone, redone, or executed, as well as after it has been flushed or the save location has been marked.Usage
if ((commandStackEvent.getDetail() & CommandStack.POST_MASK) != 0) { // Do something, like: stopBatchingChanges(); }

CommandStack
public CommandStack()Constructs a new command stack. By default, there is no undo limit, and isDirty() will returnfalse
.

Method Details
-
addCommandStackEventListener
Appends the listener to the list of command stack listeners. Multiple adds result in multiple notifications.- Parameters:
listener
- the event listener- Since:
- 3.1
-
addCommandStackListener
Deprecated.Appends the listener to the list of command stack listeners. Multiple adds will result in multiple notifications.- Parameters:
listener
- the listener
-
canRedo
public boolean canRedo()- Returns:
true
if it is appropriate to callredo()
.
-
canUndo
public boolean canUndo()- Returns:
true
ifundo()
can be called
-
dispose
public void dispose()This willdispose()
all the commands in both the undo and redo stack. Both stacks will be empty afterwards. -
execute
Executes the specified Command if possible. Prior to executing the command, a CommandStackEvent forPRE_EXECUTE
will be fired to event listeners. Similarly, after attempting to execute the command, an event forPOST_EXECUTE
will be fired. If the execution of the command completely normally, stack listeners will receivestackChanged
notification.If the command is
null
or cannot be executed, nothing happens.- Parameters:
command
- the Command to execute- See Also:
-
flush
public void flush()Flushes the entire stack and resets the save location to zero. This method might be called when performing "revert to saved". -
getCommands
- Returns:
- an array containing all commands in the order they were executed
-
getRedoCommand
Peeks at the top of the redo stack. This is useful for describing to the User what will be redone. The returnedCommand
has a label describing it.- Returns:
- the top of the redo stack, which may be
null
-
getUndoCommand
Peeks at the top of the undo stack. This is useful for describing to the User what will be undone. The returnedCommand
has a label describing it.- Returns:
- the top of the undo stack, which may be
null
-
getUndoLimit
public int getUndoLimit()Returns the undo limit. The undo limit is the maximum number of atomic operations that the User can undo.-1
is used to indicate no limit.- Returns:
- the undo limit
-
isDirty
public boolean isDirty()Returns true if the stack is dirty. The stack is dirty whenever the last executed or redone command is different than the command that was at the top of the undo stack whenmarkSaveLocation()
was last called.- Returns:
true
if the stack is dirty
-
markSaveLocation
public void markSaveLocation()Marks the last executed or redone Command as the point at which the changes were saved. Calculation ofisDirty()
will be based on this checkpoint. -

instead.Sends notification to allCommandStackListener
s. -
notifyListeners
Notifies command stack event listeners that the command stack has changed to the specified state.- Parameters:
command
- the commandstate
- the current stack state- Since:
- 3.2
-
redo
public void redo()Calls redo on the Command at the top of the redo stack, and pushes that Command onto the undo stack. This method should only be called whencanUndo()

removeCommandStackEventListener
Removes the first occurrence of the specified listener.- Parameters:
listener
- the listener
-
removeCommandStackListener
Deprecated.UseCommandStackEventListener
instead.Removes the first occurrence of the specified listener.- Parameters:
listener
- the listener
-
setUndoLimit
public void setUndoLimit(int undoLimit) Sets the undo limit. The undo limit is the maximum number of atomic operations that the User can undo.-1
is used to indicate no limit.- Parameters:
undoLimit
- the undo limit
-
undo
public void undo()Undoes the most recently executed (or redone) Command. The Command is popped from the undo stack to and pushed onto the redo stack. This method should only be called whencanUndo()
