Method Detail

getDataSource

FilterItemListInterface getDataSource()

The list of source items to populate the possible choices for the panel.

Returns:

the filter item list

getSelection

FilterLogicTestNodeInterface getSelection()

Used to get the initial selection for the control panel. If the object returned implements FilterLogicEditableTestNodeInterface then changes can be made directly to it. Otherwise, changes to the objects selected will be signaled after each selection change by calling setSelection()

Returns:

the test node at the current selection index

setSelection

void setSelection(FilterLogicTestNodeInterface value)

Changes to the selection are done by either modifying a EditableTestNode or by setting a DefaultLogicTestNode with the changed values using this method. If the selection is changed by anything outside of the visual, then the visual will need to have a setModel done to it again.

Parameters:

value - the new test node for the current selection

setApplicationData

void setApplicationData(java.lang.Object data)

Used to store application specific data.

Parameters:

data - to be stored with this object for application use
