Method Detail

provideCellEditor

public CellEditor provideCellEditor(Composite parent)
Description copied from class: KiemPropertyType
Provides a cell editor of this KiemPropertyType. This method may be overridden by implementing classes. By default it provides a TextCellEditor.

Overrides:
provideCellEditor in class KiemPropertyType
Parameters:
parent - the parent SWT composite that holds the Cell Editor
Returns:
the cell editor for this KiemPropertyType

getValue

public Object getValue(KiemProperty property)
This method bridges String names values (encoded as Strings in property) to int of the combobox cell editor. All items are searched, and the resulting index is returned. If nothing is found, the first item with index 0 is the default selected one. Gets the value of the property type. This method is called by the cell editor and its returned object depends on the latter. It returns the value that the cell editor can handle.
The concrete type of value is determined by the used cell editor and the type it can handle. The task of an implementation of this method is to bridge the property string type and the cell editor type.

Specified by:
getValue in interface IKiemPropertyType
Parameters:
property - the KiemProperty that this type operates on
Returns:
the value of the property with the type depending on the cell editor

setValue

public void setValue(KiemProperty element,
                     Object value)
This method bridges String names values (encoded as Strings in property) to int of the combobox cell editor. The item text of the selected index is saved as a String. Sets the value of the property type. This method is called by the cell editor and the object parameter depends on the latter. It gets the value from the cell editor and should store the appropriate string representation in the KIEM property.
The concrete type of value is determined by the used cell editor and the type it can handle. The task of an implementation of this method is to bridge the property string type and the cell editor type.

Specified by:
setValue in interface IKiemPropertyType
Parameters:
element - the KiemProperty that this type operates on
value - the value of the property with the type depending on the cell editor
