com.googlecode.mcvaadin.helpers.UIBuilder

User interface factory class. This class offers factory functions to build a user interface in a linear way. Each Vaadin component (and McVaadin extension component) has a function counterpart in this class that creates a new instance of it and adds it to selected component container (layout etc). Effectively this makes the creation of user interfaces more simple. This: Label label = new Label("Hello"); layout.addComponent(label); becomes simply this: label("Hello")

The layout or component container can be selected using the {@link #with(ComponentContainer)} function and previous component containerswith {@link #endWith()} function.

There also is a set of functions to help displaying user messages more

As you may use this class separately to build UI in any Vaadin application, it is meant to be used to through the {@link McApplication}, {@link McWindow}and {@link McComponent}. They all implement delegate functions for this class to minimize the amount of code needed.

      boolean wasNull = getMainWindow() == null;
        super.setMainWindow(mainWindow);
        if (mainWindow != null) {
            messages = new UserMessages(mainWindow);
            if (wasNull){
                uiBuilder = new UIBuilder(mainWindow);
            }
        } else {
            messages = null;
            uiBuilder = null;
        }

        root = new VerticalLayout();
        root.setMargin(true);
        root.setSpacing(true);


        setContent(root);
        uiBuilder = new UIBuilder(this);
        if (initUI) {
            ui();
        }
    }

    }
    public McComponent(boolean initUI) {
        root = new VerticalLayout();
        root.setSpacing(true);
        setCompositionRoot(root);
        uiBuilder = new UIBuilder(root);
        if (initUI) {
            ui();
        }
    }
