  • Constructor Details

    • PIAObjectField

      public PIAObjectField()
      Creates a combo box component that contains a PModelHandle in the model and String representations of each PModelHandle.

  • Method Details

    • unregister

      public void unregister() throws RemoteException
      Used to disassociate this component from its delegate (controller)
      Specified by:
      unregister in interface PClientComponent
      Throws:
      RemoteException

    • addNotify

      public void addNotify()
      Overridden to create a renderer for this combo box.
      Overrides:
      addNotify in class JComponent

    • setModelHandle

      public void setModelHandle(PModelHandle data) throws RemoteException
      Establishes the PModelHandle for this component.
      Specified by:
      setModelHandle in interface PComponent
      Parameters:
      data - the new PModelHandle from which to extract information
      Throws:
      RemoteException - thrown for errors

    • getModelHandle

      public PModelHandle getModelHandle() throws RemoteException
      Retrieves the PModelHandle for this component.
      Specified by:
      getModelHandle in interface PComponent
      Returns:
      The PModelHandle associated with this component.
      Throws:
      RemoteException - thrown for errors

    • isLight

      public boolean isLight() throws RemoteException
      Determines if this component defers PModelHandle knowledge to its parent container. If so, the parent container passes the PModelHandle to this component on the server side (by way of the controller), which saves a client/server round trip for data exchange.

      If specific processing is required, when PModelHandle is called, subclass this component and override this method. Otherwise, setModelHandle() will not be called.

      Specified by:
      isLight in interface PComponent
      Returns:
      True if this component defers knowledge; false otherwise.
      Throws:
      RemoteException - thrown for errors

    • getControllerClassName

      Throws:
      RemoteException - thrown for errors

    • getTools

      public Vector getTools()

    • viewDataChange

      public void viewDataChange(PViewDataChangeEvent event) throws RemoteException
      Overrides PViewDataChangeListener. This method is no longer called by the controller itself. To ensure backward compatibility, it is called after the model is set, by any operation that causes a change in the display data. Client code should call the appropriate get() methods on the controller to get the data, because the PViewDataChangeEvent parameter is no longer used.
      Specified by:
      viewDataChange in interface PViewDataChangeListener
      Parameters:
      event - the PViewDataChangeEvent event that describes the change. No longer used. By default, the value passed in is always set to null.
