Class CheckBoxProvider

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, UIDependent

    public class CheckBoxProvider
    extends ComponentProvider<javax.swing.AbstractButton>
    A component provider which uses a JCheckBox.

    This implementation respects a BooleanValue and a StringValue to configure the button's selected and text property. By default, the selected is mapped to a Boolean-type value and the text is empty.

    To allow mapping to different types, client code can supply a custom StringValue which also implements BooleanValue. F.i. to render a cell value of type TableColumnExt with the column's visibility mapped to the selected and the column's title to the text:

    
                
         BooleanValue bv = new BooleanValue(){
            public boolean getBoolean(Object value) {
               if (value instanceof TableColumnExt) 
                   return ((TableColumnExt) value).isVisible();
               return false;
            }
         };
         StringValue sv = new StringValue() {
             public String getString(Object value) {
               if (value instanceof TableColumnExt) 
                   return ((TableColumnExt) value).getTitle();
               return "";
             }
         };
         list.setCellRenderer(new DefaultListRenderer(
               new CheckBoxProvider(new MappedValue(sv, null, bv), JLabel.LEADING)));

    • Method Detail

      • isBorderPainted

        public boolean isBorderPainted()
        Returns the border painted flag.
        Returns:
        the borderpainted flag to use on the checkbox.
        See Also:
        setBorderPainted(boolean)
      • setBorderPainted

        public void setBorderPainted​(boolean borderPainted)
        Sets the border painted flag. The underlying checkbox is configured with this value on every request.

        The default value is true.

        Parameters:
        borderPainted - the borderPainted property to configure the underlying checkbox with.
        See Also:
        isBorderPainted()
      • getValueAsBoolean

        protected boolean getValueAsBoolean​(CellContext context)
        Returns a boolean representation of the content.

        This method messages the BooleanValue to get the boolean rep. If none available, checks for Boolean type directly and returns its value. Returns false otherwise.

        PENDING: fallback to check for boolean is convenient .. could cleanup to use a default BooleanValue instead.

        Parameters:
        context - the cell context, must not be null.
        Returns:
        the boolean representation of the cell's content, or false if none if available.
      • configureState

        protected void configureState​(CellContext context)
        Configures the rendering component's state from the given cell context.

        Here: set's the buttons horizontal alignment and borderpainted properties to this provider's properties.

        Specified by:
        configureState in class ComponentProvider<javax.swing.AbstractButton>
        Parameters:
        context - the cell context to configure from, must not be null.
      • createRendererComponent

        protected javax.swing.AbstractButton createRendererComponent()
        Factory method to create and return the component to use for rendering.

        Here: returns a JCheckBox as rendering component.

        Specified by:
        createRendererComponent in class ComponentProvider<javax.swing.AbstractButton>
        Returns:
        the component to use for rendering.
