Interface JUArrayElementEditorInterface

public interface JUArrayElementEditorInterface

This interface defines the methods that is required by JUArrayComboBox to communicate with an editor that can edit an element/item in the JUArrayComboBox.

Implementing classes can define their own key combinations that ends in call to the edit method in this interface, by returning true for hasCustomEditKey() method and returning true for isEditKey(KeyEvent) after matching the key with a editor specific key combination. By default if hasCustomEditKey() returns false, then pressing Ctrl+Enter in the combo box editor invokes this edit() method.
