Class UIComponent<M extends INotificationSupport,C,T>

java.lang.Object
  de.intarsys.tools.ui.UIComponent<M,C,T>

Type Parameters:

M - The model object

C - The toolkit container class

T - The toolkit component class

All Implemented Interfaces:

IDisposable, INotificationObserver<M>, IArgsConfigurable, IComponentProvider<C,T>, IUIComponent<M,C,T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UIWizard

public abstract class UIComponent<M extends INotificationSupport,C,T>
extends Object
implements IUIComponent<M,C,T>, IArgsConfigurable

Abstraction of an user interface component.

The UIComponent spans a hierarchical tree. Each UIComponent maps to a real toolkit interface component that gets realized upon calling "createComponent".

A UIComponent is associated with a model object via the INotificationObserver interface.

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(IArgs args)
               throws ArgsConfigurationException

Specified by:

configure in interface IArgsConfigurable

Throws:

ArgsConfigurationException

createComponent

public final void createComponent(C parent)

Description copied from interface: IComponentProvider

Create the associated toolkit component. This is a factory method called by a container to create a concrete UI component.

createComponent in interface IComponentProvider<C,T>

dispose

public void dispose()

Specified by:

dispose in interface IDisposable

getComponent

public final T getComponent()

Description copied from interface: IComponentProvider

The associated toolkit component. This is not valid until after a call to createComponent.

Specified by:

getComponent in interface IComponentProvider<C,T>

Returns:

The associated toolkit component.

getConfiguration

public IArgs getConfiguration()

getObservable

public M getObservable()

Description copied from interface: INotificationObserver

The observed object.

Specified by:

getObservable in interface INotificationObserver<M extends INotificationSupport>

Returns:

The observed object.

getParent

public IUIComponent getParent()

isDisposed

public boolean isDisposed()

Specified by:

isDisposed in interface IDisposable

setObservable

public void setObservable(M observable)

Description copied from interface: INotificationObserver

Assign the object to be observed.

Specified by:

setObservable in interface INotificationObserver<M extends INotificationSupport>
