Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	AbstractGUITunableHandler.TunableFieldPanel The main goal of this panel is to store the handler's label and control, in order to make it possible to consistently align labels and controls created by different AbstractGUITunableHandler subclasses when creating the Tunable form.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
protected boolean	horizontal If true, the associated GUI element should be laid out next to others in the same group, if false, it should be vertically stacked relative to the others.
protected static Font	LABEL_FONT The default label font.

Constructor Detail

AbstractGUITunableHandler

protected AbstractGUITunableHandler(Field field,
                                    Object instance,
                                    Tunable tunable)

Standard base class constructor for TunableHandlers that deal with Tunables that annotate a control.

Parameters:

control - An instance of Field that represents a control annotated with @Tunable

instance - An object instance that contains a control corresponding to the control parameter

tunable - The Tunable that annotates control

AbstractGUITunableHandler

protected AbstractGUITunableHandler(Method getter,
                                    Method setter,
                                    Object instance,
                                    Tunable tunable)

Standard base class constructor for TunableHandlers that deal with Tunables that use getter and setter methods.

Parameters:

getter - The getter method of the tunable object represented by the instance parameter.

setter - The setter method complimentary to the getter.

instance - An instance of an object with a getter method that has been determined to be annotated with @Tunable.

tunable - The Tunable that annotates the getter.

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(Object newValue)
              throws IllegalAccessException,
                     InvocationTargetException

Description copied from class: AbstractTunableHandler

Attempts to set the value of the associated field or set method that has been annotated with Tunable.

Specified by:

setValue in interface TunableHandler

Overrides:

setValue in class AbstractTunableHandler

Parameters:

newValue - the value to be written into field or set method annotated with Tunable

Throws:

IllegalAccessException

InvocationTargetException

notifyDependents

public void notifyDependents()

Notifies all dependents that this object has changed.

Specified by:

notifyDependents in interface GUITunableHandler

notifyChangeListeners

public void notifyChangeListeners()

Notifies all dependents that this object has changed.

Specified by:

notifyChangeListeners in interface GUITunableHandler

addChangeListener

public void addChangeListener(GUITunableHandler gh)

Adds the argument as a new dependency to this GUITunableHandler.

Specified by:

addChangeListener in interface GUITunableHandler

Parameters:

gh - Handler on which this one will depend on

addDependent

public void addDependent(GUITunableHandler gh)

Adds the argument as a new dependency to this GUITunableHandler.

Specified by:

addDependent in interface GUITunableHandler

Parameters:

gh - Handler on which this one will depend on

getDependency

public String getDependency()

Description copied from interface: GUITunableHandler

Returns the name of a different GUITunableHandler that this tunable handler depends on.

Specified by:

getDependency in interface GUITunableHandler

Returns:

the name of a different GUITunableHandler that this tunable handler depends on.

getChangeSources
