Method Detail

getCustomEditor

public java.awt.Component getCustomEditor()

A PropertyEditor may chose 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:

A java.awt.Component that will allow a human to directly edit the current property value. May be null if this is not supported.

supportsCustomEditor

public boolean supportsCustomEditor()

Determines whether the propertyEditor can provide a custom editor.

Returns:

True if the propertyEditor can provide a custom editor.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

Gets the value of the property.

Returns:

The value of the property.

getJavaInitializationString

public java.lang.String 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:

A fragment of Java code representing an initializer for the current value.
