checkRequiredTextField

public static java.lang.String checkRequiredTextField(javax.swing.text.JTextComponent tc,
                                                      boolean doTrim,
                                                      java.util.ResourceBundle bundle,
                                                      java.lang.String titleKey,
                                                      java.lang.String messageKey)
                                               throws TextFieldEmptyException

checks a JTextComponent for being empty. If the component is empty, displays the error message, sets the focus to the component, and throws an exception.

Throws:

TextFieldEmptyException

checkEmptyString

public static java.lang.String checkEmptyString(java.lang.String text,
                                                boolean doTrim,
                                                java.util.ResourceBundle bundle,
                                                java.lang.String titleKey,
                                                java.lang.String messageKey)
                                         throws TextFieldEmptyException

Check for empty string and show Message

Throws:

TextFieldEmptyException

groupPanelsVertically

public static void groupPanelsVertically(javax.swing.JPanel[] panels)

groups a set of panels vertically together within a BoxLayout.

updateTreeUI

public static void updateTreeUI(javax.swing.JTree tree)

updates a tree component UI. There seems to be a bug in the generic JTree model and TreeModel handling that nodes aren't changed when the UI look and feel changes, so ...

createObjectIDFromList

public static java.lang.String createObjectIDFromList(java.lang.String[] names)

Creates an essbase object identifier string for you; For example, [willow2:Demo:Basic] for a database or [willow2:Demo:Basic:Header1] for a report script.

createVerticalStackPanel

public static javax.swing.JPanel createVerticalStackPanel(java.awt.Component[] children,
                                                          javax.swing.border.Border border)

2nd version of createVerticalStackPanel() which uses a border to create vertical space between each of the contained components. For this to work properly, the best solution is to use an empty border with left and right spacing set to "0" (zero).

createVerticalStackPanel

public static javax.swing.JPanel createVerticalStackPanel(java.awt.Component[] children)

Creates a panel in which all the provided children are stacked vertically at their minimum height (doesn't fill up all available vertical space), starting at the top of the panel.

checkForNullSelection

public static java.lang.Object checkForNullSelection(javax.swing.JComboBox component)
                                              throws NullSelectionException

checks a JComboBox for a null selection. If the selection is null it will throw a NullSelectionException

Throws:

NullSelectionException
