Class MDateCellEditor

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor
      mseries.ui.MDateCellEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CellEditor, TableCellEditor, TableCellRenderer

public class MDateCellEditor
extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor, TableCellRenderer

A simple example of MDateEntryField used as a table cell editor and table cell renderer. It implements both interfaces but the same instance can not be used as both the renderer and the editor. It is safest to use two instances for each cell. As a renderer all the component gives is the date formatting and the button which when clicked invokes the editor which looks the same. A simple date formatting textfield would work equally well as the renderer as Swing itself replaces the renderer with the editor when the cell is clicked and vice-versa when editing is finished.

Method Detail

getTableCellEditorComponent

public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
                                             Object value,
                                             boolean isSelected,
                                             int row,
                                             int column)

This method makes the component an editor

Specified by:

getTableCellRendererComponent

public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
                                               Object value,
                                               boolean isSelected,
                                               boolean hasFocus,
                                               int row,
                                               int column)

This method makes the component a renderer

Specified by:

getTableCellRendererComponent in interface TableCellRenderer

getCellEditorValue

public Object getCellEditorValue()

Specified by:

getCellEditorValue in interface CellEditor

configureEditor

protected void configureEditor()

This method can be used to configure the MDateEntryField that is used as the cell editor component. In the constructor this method is called after the format is set and after border is nullified. Thus it is best to only configure a constrainst object here and use it to configure the editing field.

MDateEntryField, MDateSelectorConstraints

setConstraints

public void setConstraints(MDateSelectorConstraints c)

Passes the constraints object to the field that does the editing.

Parameters:

c - a constraints object that can configure the pull down
