com.sas.prompts
Interface DynamicValueProviderInterface

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, com.sas.PublicClonable, com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueProviderInterface

public interface DynamicValueProviderInterface
extends com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueProviderInterface

Value providers should implement this interface if they get values from a dynamic data source such as a SAS table or InformationMap.

Method Summary

abstract com.sas.datatypes.DataTypeInterface	getDataType(DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicValuesContext) Returns the data type for the set of possible values returns by the value provider.
abstract java.util.Collection	getDependentPrompts(java.util.Locale locale, DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicValuesContext) Returns a collection of PromptDefinitionInterfaces which the value provider depends on.
abstract java.lang.Object	getValues(java.util.Locale locale, DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicPromptValueContext, com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueType returnType)
abstract java.lang.Object	getValues(java.util.Locale locale, DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicPromptValueContext, com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueType returnType, int index, int count)
abstract java.lang.Object	getValues(java.util.Locale locale, com.sas.prompts.PromptViewInterface promptView, DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicPromptValueContext, com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueType returnType)
abstract java.lang.Object	getValues(java.util.Locale locale, com.sas.prompts.PromptViewInterface promptView, DynamicPromptValueContextInterface dynamicPromptValueContext, com.sas.storage.valueprovider.ValueType returnType, int index, int count)
