Property Editor plugin

Postby iduman » Tue Nov 18, 2008 6:07 am

Hello
I am trying to use my custom Swing widget classes in my project. I want to add fields such as Vectors, custom Enum classes. How can I modify these fields by using Property Editor? Do I need to extend this Window Builder plugin? If so, can you give a reference or a documentation or an example?
Thanks
iduman

Swing Designer will show any JaavBean compliant custom properties, editors and customizers.

Information on how to create custom widgets with custom editors and customizers is available on-line (from the Sun site, for example). That is not something we provide technical support for.

You do not need to extend the WindowBuilder plugin itself. Everything you want to do should be possible using the satandard JavaBean spec.

If a property is not JavaBean compliant what can I do to edit this property? Is there a way of extending Property Editor for editing non JavaBean compliant properties?

Thanks

Nothing unless you make it JavaBean compliant.

No. There is no public API for that.
