Method Detail

getEditableClass

public java.lang.Class getEditableClass()

get the type that this component can be used to edit.

Returns:

the editable type supported by this component.

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Returns:

if the data held in the swing component is valid.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()

get the value held the swing component. Note this should be of the same type that this class can edit (The only exception are for native types. For example int's should be returned as Integers).

Returns:

the value this component is holding.

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object object)

Sets the value in the swing component.

Parameters:

object - the value to set it at.

getComponent

public java.awt.Component getComponent()

grab the raw swing component associated w/ this component.

Returns:

the swing component for data entry.
