OptionListEditor( )

Creates a new instance of FormChoiceEditor

addCellEditorListener

Adds a listener to the list that's notified when the editor stops, or cancels editing.

Parameters

Returns:

cancelCellEditing

Tells the editor to cancel editing and not accept any partially edited value.

Returns:

getAsText

Gets the property value as text.

Returns:

Returns null if the value can't be expressed as an editable string.

If a non-null value is returned, then the PropertyEditor should be prepared to parse that string back in setAsText().

getCellEditorValue

Returns the value contained in the editor.

Returns:

getCustomEditor

A PropertyEditor may choose to make available a full custom Component that edits its property value. It is the responsibility of the PropertyEditor to hook itself up to its editor Component itself and to report property value changes by firing a PropertyChange event.

The higher-level code that calls getCustomEditor may either embed the Component in some larger property sheet, or it may put it in its own individual dialog, or ...

Returns:

getJavaInitializationString

This method is intended for use when generating Java code to set the value of the property. It should return a fragment of Java code that can be used to initialize a variable with the current property value.

Example results are "2", "new Color(127,127,34)", "Color.orange", etc.

Returns:

getOptions

Returns:

getTableCellEditorComponent

Sets an initial value for the editor. This will cause the editor to stopEditing and lose any partially edited value if the editor is editing when this method is called.

Returns the component that should be added to the client's Component hierarchy. Once installed in the client's hierarchy this component will then be able to draw and receive user input.

Parameters

Returns:

getTags

If the property value must be one of a set of known tagged values, then this method should return an array of the tags. This can be used to represent (for example) enum values. If a PropertyEditor supports tags, then it should support the use of setAsText with a tag value as a way of setting the value and the use of getAsText to identify the current value.

Returns:

getValue

Gets the property value.

Returns:

isCellEditable

Asks the editor if it can start editing using anEvent. anEvent is in the invoking component coordinate system. The editor can not assume the Component returned by getCellEditorComponent is installed. This method is intended for the use of client to avoid the cost of setting up and installing the editor component if editing is not possible. If editing can be started this method returns true.

Parameters

Returns:

See Also:

isPaintable

Determines whether this property editor is paintable.

Returns:

main

Parameters

Returns:

paintValue

Paint a representation of the value into a given area of screen real estate. Note that the propertyEditor is responsible for doing its own clipping so that it fits into the given rectangle.

If the PropertyEditor doesn't honor paint requests (see isPaintable) this method should be a silent noop.

The given Graphics object will have the default font, color, etc of the parent container. The PropertyEditor may change graphics attributes such as font and color and doesn't need to restore the old values.

Parameters

Returns:

removeCellEditorListener

Removes a listener from the list that's notified

Parameters

Returns:

setAsText

Set the property value by parsing a given String. May raise java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if either the String is badly formatted or if this kind of property can't be expressed as text.

Parameters

Returns:

setOptions

Parameters

Returns:

setValue

Set (or change) the object that is to be edited. Primitive types such as "int" must be wrapped as the corresponding object type such as "java.lang.Integer".

Parameters

Returns:

shouldSelectCell

Returns true if the editing cell should be selected, false otherwise. Typically, the return value is true, because is most cases the editing cell should be selected. However, it is useful to return false to keep the selection from changing for some types of edits. eg. A table that contains a column of check boxes, the user might want to be able to change those checkboxes without altering the selection. (See Netscape Communicator for just such an example) Of course, it is up to the client of the editor to use the return value, but it doesn't need to if it doesn't want to.

Parameters

Returns:

See Also:

showDialog

Returns:

stopCellEditing

Tells the editor to stop editing and accept any partially edited value as the value of the editor. The editor returns false if editing was not stopped; this is useful for editors that validate and can not accept invalid entries.

Returns:

supportsCustomEditor

Determines whether this property editor supports a custom editor.

Returns:
