    • setActive

      public static void setActive(boolean aActive)

      Register a Component that would like to use that TLcdBeanManager as PropertyEditor, when editing the bean as a property in an IDE that does not support source code generation.

    • register

      public static int register(Object aBean, ILcdFormatter aFormatter)
      Deprecated.
      Register an Object that would like to use that TLcdBeanManager as PropertyEditor, when editing the bean as a property in an IDE that does not support source code generation.

    • isRegistered

      public static boolean isRegistered(Object aBean)
      Deprecated.
      Test if the given Object has been already registered.

    • retrieveBeanByName

      public static Object retrieveBeanByName(String aName, Class aBeanClass)
      Deprecated.
      This method will return the first registered Object which getName method equals aName and which is an instance of aBeanClass, or null if no Object has been found. If aBeanClass is null, this method returns the first Object found that matches aName.

    • getTags

      public String[] getTags()
      Deprecated.
      Get tags that are the display names of all the registered Object, which Class matches the Class of the Object set with the setValue method of this PropertyEditor.

    • formatRegisteredBean

      protected static String formatRegisteredBean(Object aBean)
