Method Detail

newSMaker

public ISMaker newSMaker(java.lang.String id)

Description copied from interface: ISMaker

Factory method to construct a new SMaker object that represents a subtree of the original SMaker. The child SMakers are useful if the parent SMaker contains more than one layout (for example the layout for sever dialog boxes and internal frames and the child SMakers contain only one of these layouts. Don't call the create() method of the parent but invoke create() of the childs as soon as needed.
