getRequiredInterfaces

public java.util.Vector getRequiredInterfaces()

Description copied from interface: ViewInterface

The get method for the requiredInterfaces attribute. Retrieves the current value of the RequiredInterfaces atttribute. This information contains an array for each required interface.

attachModel

public void attachModel(com.sas.ModelInterface model)

Description copied from interface: ViewInterface

Attaches the specified model to this view. Calls attachView on the model to notify it of the attach request. Throws a run time ComponentException if the model denies the attach request. Calls trapInterfaceEvents on the view to set up the appropriate event handlers in the view for attribute changed events from the model. attachModel will be called once for the model specified in the setModel method. It is the responsibility of the views to maintain interface handles to multiple models; one interface handle will be set in the attachModel call and cleared in detachModel. Therefore, the interface handle will always point to the last model attached to. Throws a run time ComponentException if the specified model does not support the required interface on the view. Calls refresh, passing the model interface, on the view after successful completion to allow the view to update itself.

Report a bound property update to any registered listeners. This method returns immediately without any action if there are no registered PropertyChangeEvent listeners. No event is fired if old and new are equal and non-null. This method corresponds to the java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport firePropertyChange method, which we cannot call directly since we have our own com.sas.beans.PropertyChangeEvent.

Specified by:

firePropertyChange in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

Overrides:

firePropertyChange in class java.awt.Component

Parameters:

propertyName - The name of the property that was changed. null may be passed in to indicate that a generic change to the component (and not a specific property) was made.

oldValue - The old value of the property. null may be passed in to indicate that the old value is unknown.

newValue - The new value of the property. null may be passed in to indicate that the new value is unknown.

See Also:

ComponentInterface.firePropertyChange(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

firePropertyChange

public void firePropertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent propertyChangeEvent)

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

Report a bound property update to any registered listeners. This method is provided to allow the user to pass in their existing property change event; usually the other firePropertyChange method will be used which constructs a property change event. Before constructing a PropertyChangeEvent, you should test if there are any PropertyChangeEvent listeners and skip allocating and firing the event if there are no listeners.

Specified by:

firePropertyChange in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

Parameters:

propertyChangeEvent - A previously constructed property change event

See Also:

ComponentInterface.firePropertyChange(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

propertyChange

public void propertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent e)

Handles any property links on this component from the source component.

Specified by:

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

This method sets the description of the component.

Application writers may want to set unique componentDescriptions on components so that they can be distinquished properly in a testing environment.

Specified by:

setComponentDescription in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

Parameters:

description - The new description for the component.

See Also:

ComponentInterface.setComponentDescription(java.lang.String)

isDesignTime

public boolean isDesignTime()

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

This method returns whether the component is in design mode or in run mode. Typically, a development environment for JavaBeans will set the designTime property to true while the component is being manipulated inside the development environment.

ComponentInterface.isDesignTime should be used instead of java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime since java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime is not thread safe and changes the status of all JavaBeans at the same time.

Specified by:

isDesignTime in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

Returns:

true for the component is in design mode, false for the component is in run mode.

See Also:

ComponentInterface.isDesignTime()

Specified by:

anyPropertyChangeListeners in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

Returns:

true if there are any property change listeners.

initialize

public void initialize()

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

The initialize() method was designed to be a synchronization point after the constructor for the object has completed and a number of methods have been called on the component. This allows components with "expensive" set method calls to delay processing until all the sets have occurred.

initialize() should be called on a component after is it constructed :

     ListBox listBox = new ListBox();
     listBox.initialize();
     container.add( listBox );
 

Overriding initialize is now discouraged since it is generally better to override setDefaultValues and readObject to perform initialization.

By default (in the ComponentInterface implementation), initialize() does nothing. However, various components override initialize() to perform operations, and it should be called.

Although use of initialize() is now discouraged, initialize() is also called by the validateObject method after a component is deserialized. This allows components which need processing during creation and deserialization to have a common place to perform operations. Adding event handlers to subcomponents is a typical use of the initialize method.

Specified by:

initialize in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

See Also:

ComponentInterface.initialize()

initializeComponent

public void initializeComponent()

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

Called by the default constructor. initializeComponent calls setDefaultValues and then sets the designTime property on the component based on com.sas.Component.beansIsDesignTime().

Specified by:

initializeComponent in interface com.sas.ComponentInterface

setDefaultValues

public void setDefaultValues()

Description copied from interface: ComponentInterface

This method sets the initial property values to their default values. It is called by initializeComponent. Subclasses of the Component class or classes that implement the ComponentInterface should override setDefaultValues to perform their initialization.

Note that the designTime property is not initialized when setDefaultValues is called, so initialization which depends on the value of designTime should take place in initializeComponent.
