com.sas.lang.CharacterData

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.sas.beans.PropertyChangeSource, com.sas.beans.VetoableChangeSource, ComponentInterface, com.sas.lang.CharacterDataInterface, com.sas.lang.StringDataInterface, LinkPropertiesInterface, ModelInterface, com.sas.PublicClonable, ViewInterface, MultipleValueEventSourceInterface, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener, java.io.ObjectInputValidation, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.EventListener

public class CharacterData
implements com.sas.PublicClonable, com.sas.lang.CharacterDataInterface, com.sas.lang.StringDataInterface

CharacterData is an implementation of CharacterDataInterface, for holding a char integer. The CharacterData container has a bound characterData property, so the CharacterData object fires a PropertyChangeEvent when the object is changed with setCharacterData(Character).

Creating a CharacterData Component

CharacterData charData1 = new CharacterData(); charData1.initialize();

The CharacterData class also maintains a bound text property which is always equal to the String value of the characterData property.

Usage

The CharacterData component stores char data:

 charData1.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
 charData1.setCharacterData(l);
 ...
 l = charData1.getCharacterData();
