Class TLcdBeanGUIFactory

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.beans.TLcdBeanGUIFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdBeanEditor, Serializable
@Deprecated public class TLcdBeanGUIFactory extends Object implements ILcdBeanEditor, Serializable
Deprecated.
Use a UI builder (e.g. Swing) or binding framework instead.
This is a support class to analyze a Bean and build a GUI for editing that bean. The setObject() method analyzes the properties of the given Bean.

After calling that method, the PropertyEditors and PropertyDescriptors are available, as well as Components that are each capable of editing one property taking a corresponding PropertyEditor into account.

If its AutoUpdateFromPropertyEditors property is true, a instance of TLcdBeanGUIFactory will automatically update the bean with the values of its properties stored in the corresponding PropertyEditor (PropertyEditor.getValue()). This update will be done each time one of the PropertyEditor fires a PropertyChangeEvent. Note that only the values that have been changed by their corresponding PropertyEditor will be set (the test will be done using Object.equals()). If the AutoUpdateFromPropertyEditors property is not set, the update of the object properties from the corresponding PropertyEditor can be done manually by calling updateObjectFromPropertyEditors(). in the PropertyEditors.

    • setClassTraceOn

      public static void setClassTraceOn(boolean aClassTraceOn)
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for all instances of this class. If the argument is true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aClassTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.

    • setTraceOn

      public void setTraceOn(boolean aTraceOn)
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for this class instance. Calling this method with either true or false as argument automatically turns off tracing for all other class instances for which setTraceOn has not been called. If the argument is false then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded for this instance. If false, then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.

    • isTraceOn

      public boolean isTraceOn()
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Returns true if tracing is enabled for this class.
      Returns:
      true if tracing is enabled for this class, false otherwise.
