public interface NodeInterface
extends SimpleNodeInterface

NodeInterface is implemented by objects contained in a hierarchical structure that provide textual descriptions. NodeInterface provides an abstraction that allows the data source to remain distant from an associated viewer.

It is recommended that classes which implement NodeInterface send PropertyChangeEvent events whenever the nodeText, nodeExpandedText and/or nodeType properties change so that a viewer could know about these changes and refresh itself. For example, com.sas.visuals.TreeView expects NodeInterface objects from its model and then tries to listen for PropertyChangeEvent events on each NodeInterface. If the implementation fires these events then the TreeView will be able to reflect these changes.

Method Summary

abstract java.lang.String	getNodeExpandedText() Returns the value of the nodeExpandedText property.
abstract java.lang.String	getNodeText() Returns the value of the nodeText property.
abstract java.lang.String	getNodeType() Returns the value of the nodeType property.

Method Detail

getNodeExpandedText

java.lang.String getNodeExpandedText()

Returns the value of the nodeExpandedText property. The expanded text is usually a more descriptive version of the nodeText property. For example, a node that represents a file can return the file name for the nodeText property and the full path name for the nodeExpandedText property.

Returns:

the nodeExpandedText property

getNodeText

java.lang.String getNodeText()

Returns the value of the nodeText property.

Returns:

the nodeText property

getNodeType

java.lang.String getNodeType()

Returns the value of the nodeType property. The type can be used for categorizing nodes.

Returns:

the nodeType property
