This group contains settings for the modelines of the ECB-tree-buffers:
| mode-line-data | User Option |
Data shown in the modelines of the special ECB-buffers. Everey element
of this list is a cons-cell where the car is used to define a
buffer-name and the cdr to define the modeline-data for that buffer.
For details about how to defining a buffer-name see
ecb-mode-line-prefixes - its completely the same.
The cdr is the data for ths modeline and can either be the symbol
In addition to these two predefined values for every special ECB-buffer a plain string (which is displayed) or a function can be specified which gets three args (name of the buffer, current selected directory and current selected source-file) and must return a string which will be displayed in the modeline (or nil if no data should be displayed). If a special ECB-buffer should not display special data in its modeline then this buffer-name should either not being added to this option or added with "No data" (= nil as cdr). The whole modeline of the special ECB-buffer consists of the prefix of
|
| mode-line-data-face | User Option |
Face used for the data in the mode-line. See
ecb-mode-line-data. For XEmacs the face should inherit from the
face modeline (see set-face-parent)!
|
| mode-line-display-window-number | User Option |
Display in the modeline of every special ECB-window the window-number.
The left-top-most window in a frame has the window-number 0 and all
other windows are numbered with increasing numbers in the sequence,
functions like other-window or next-window would walk
through the frame.
This can be used to jump to windows by number with commands like:
(defun my-switch-to-window-number (number)
``Switch to the nth window''
(interactive ``P'')
(if (integerp number)
(select-window (nth number (window-list)))))
Currently this feature is only available for GNU Emacs 21.X, because neither GNU Emacs < 21 nor XEmacs can evaluate dynamically forms in the mode-line. |
| mode-line-prefixes | User Option |
Prefixes shown in the modelines of the special ECB-buffers. The
displayed prefix then looks like: "[ <PREFIX>[: ]]", means if a
prefix is defined for an special ECB-buffer then a single space is
prepended and if there is additional text to display (e.g. the current
directory in the sources buffer, see ecb-mode-line-data) then
also the string ": " is appended.
Everey element of this list is a cons-cell where the car is used to define a buffer-name and the cdr to define the modeline-prefix for that buffer. The buffer-name can either be defined as plain string or with a symbol
which contains the buffer-name as value. The latter one is recommended
to define a prefix for one of the builtin ECB-tree-buffers because
then simply the related option-symbol can be used. To add a prefix for
the builtin directories tree-buffer just set the symbol
The cdr is the prefix for a buffer and can either be a string which used as it is or a function-symbol which is called with three argument (the buffer-name, the current selected directory and the current selected source-file) and must return either nil (for no prefix) or a string which is then used a prefix. If a special ECB-buffer should not have a prefix in its modeline then this buffer-name should either not being added to this option or added with "No prefix" (= nil as cdr). |
| mode-line-prefix-face | User Option |
Face used for the prefix in the mode-line. See
ecb-mode-line-prefixes. For XEmacs the face should inherit from
the face modeline (see set-face-parent)!
|
| mode-line-win-nr-face | User Option |
Face used for the window-number in the mode-line. See
ecb-mode-line-display-window-number. For XEmacs the face should
inherit from the face modeline (see set-face-parent)!
