- ComboBoxModel
public final class ComboBoxAdapter
extends AbstractListModel
implements ComboBoxModel
A
ComboBoxModel
implementation that holds the choice list and a
selection. This adapter has two modes that differ primarily in how
the selection is kept synchronized with the combo's list.
1) If you construct a ComboBoxAdapter with a
SelectionInList
,
the selection will be guaranteed to be in the list, and the selection
will reflect changes in the list.
2) If you construct this adapter with a separate selection holder,
the selection won't be affected by any change in the combo's list.
In both cases, the combo's list of element will reflect changes in the list,
if it's a ListModel and will ignore content changes, if it's a List.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
// Using an array and ValueModel
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countries, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
// Using a List and ValueModel
List countryList = Arrays.asList(countries);
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countryList, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
// Using a ListModel and ValueModel
ListModel countryListModel = new ArrayListModel(Arrays.asList(countries));
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countryListModel, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
// Using a SelectionInList - allows only selection of contained elements
ListModel countryListModel = new ArrayListModel(Arrays.asList(countries));
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
SelectionInList sil = new SelectionInList(countryListModel, countryModel);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(sil);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
// Using ValueModels for the list holder and the selection holder
class Country extends Model {
ListModel getLocales();
Locale getDefaultLocale();
void setDefaultLocale(Locale locale);
}
BeanAdapter beanAdapter = new BeanAdapter(null, true);
ValueModel localesHolder = beanAdapter.getValueModel("locales");
ValueModel defaultLocaleModel = beanAdapter.getValueModel("defaultLocale");
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(
localesHolder, defaultLocaleModel);
JComboBox localeBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
beanAdapter.setBean(myCountry);
Object | getElementAt(int index) - Returns the value at the specified index.
|
Object | getSelectedItem() - Returns the selected item by requesting the current value from the
either the selection holder or the SelectionInList's selection.
|
int | getSize() - Returns the length of the item list.
|
void | setSelectedItem(Object object) - Sets the selected item.

ComboBoxAdapter
public ComboBoxAdapter(List items,
ValueModel selectionHolder)
Constructs a ComboBoxAdapter for the specified List of items
and the given selection holder. Structural changes in the list
will be ignored.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
List countryList = Arrays.asList(countries);
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countryList, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
items
- the list of itemsselectionHolder
- holds the selection of the combo
ComboBoxAdapter
public ComboBoxAdapter(ListModel listModel,
ValueModel selectionHolder)
Constructs a ComboBoxAdapter for the given ListModel and selection
holder. Structural changes in the ListModel will be reflected by
this adapter, but won't affect the selection.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
ListModel countryList = new ArrayListModel(Arrays.asList(countries));
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countryList, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
listModel
- the initial list modelselectionHolder
- holds the selection of the combo
ComboBoxAdapter
public ComboBoxAdapter(Object[] items,
ValueModel selectionHolder)
Constructs a ComboBoxAdapter for the specified List of items and the
given selection holder. Structural changes in the list will be ignored.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(countries, contryModel);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
items
- the list of itemsselectionHolder
- holds the selection of the combo
ComboBoxAdapter
public ComboBoxAdapter(SelectionInList selectionInList)
Constructs a ComboBoxAdapter for the given SelectionInList. Note that
selections which are not elements of the list will be rejected.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
List countryList = Arrays.asList(countries);
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
SelectionInList sil = new SelectionInList(countryList, countryModel);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(sil);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
selectionInList
- provides the list and selection
ComboBoxAdapter
public ComboBoxAdapter(SelectionInListModel selectionInListModel)
Constructs a ComboBoxAdapter for the given SelectionInListModel. Note that
selections which are not elements of the list will be rejected.
Example:
String[] countries = new String[] { "USA", "Germany", "France", ... };
ListModel countryList = new ArrayListModel(countries);
ValueModel countryModel = new PropertyAdapter(customer, "country", true);
SelectionInListModel silm = new SelectionInListModel(countryList, countryModel);
ComboBoxAdapter adapter = new ComboBoxAdapter(sil);
JComboBox countryBox = new JComboBox(adapter);
selectionInListModel
- provides the list and selection
getElementAt
public Object getElementAt(int index)
Returns the value at the specified index.
index
- the requested index
getSelectedItem
public Object getSelectedItem()
Returns the selected item by requesting the current value from the
either the selection holder or the SelectionInList's selection.
- The selected item or
null
if there is no selection
getSize
public int getSize()
Returns the length of the item list.
setSelectedItem
public void setSelectedItem(Object object)
Sets the selected item. The implementation of this method should notify
all registered ListDataListener
s that the contents has
changed.
object
- the list object to select or null
to clear
the selection
