Method Detail

initializeView

public void initializeView(MetaPropertyContext viewContext)

Description copied from class: AbstractPropertyUI

Initializes this MetaPropertyUI as a participant in the specified MetaPropertyContext's hierarchy. The default implementation just sets the internal MetaPropertyContext reference. Subclasses should rememeber to call the super.initializeView() method.

Specified by:

initializeView in interface MetaPropertyUI

Overrides:

initializeView in class AbstractPropertyUI

hasEditButton

public boolean hasEditButton()

Returns true if the dialog should have an edit button if the property mutator supports it. This allows subclasses to specifically override.

hasRemoveButton

public boolean hasRemoveButton()

Returns true if the dialog should have a remove button if the property mutator supports it. This allows subclasses to specifically override.

hasAddButton

public boolean hasAddButton()

Returns true if the dialog should have an add button if the property mutator supports it. This allows subclasses to specifically override.

setPropertyMutator

public void setPropertyMutator(PropertyMutator mutator)

Intercepted to configure the list panel to most appropriately modify the list.

Specified by:

setPropertyMutator in interface MetaPropertyUI

Overrides:

setPropertyMutator in class AbstractPropertyUI

isSingleColumn

public boolean isSingleColumn()

Returns false since lists should be full-width controls.

Specified by:

isSingleColumn in interface MetaPropertyUI

Overrides:

isSingleColumn in class AbstractPropertyUI

getUIComponent

public java.awt.Component getUIComponent()

Returns the component that allows modification of the associated property mutator.

Specified by:

getUIComponent in interface MetaPropertyUI

Specified by:

getUIComponent in class AbstractPropertyUI

releaseComponent

protected void releaseComponent()

Implemented by subclasses to release any component-related resources.

Specified by:

releaseComponent in class AbstractPropertyEditor

setComponentValue

protected void setComponentValue(java.lang.Object value)

Called to set the current value displayed in the component.

Specified by:

setComponentValue in class AbstractPropertyUI

resetComponentValue

protected void resetComponentValue()

Called to set the component value to a default state. The default implementation calls setComponentValue(null).

Overrides:

resetComponentValue in class AbstractPropertyUI

propertyChanged

protected void propertyChanged(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent event)

Called when the value contained in the mutator changes. The default implementation ignores property changes if the value is the same as the current cached value either by reference or by .equals().

Overrides:

propertyChanged in class AbstractPropertyUI

addItem

protected void addItem()

editItem

public void editItem(int i)

removeItem

protected void removeItem(int i,
                          java.lang.Object value)
