Use ownButtonGroup class

[mkornatzki]

Hi,

is it possible to configure the use of the buttonGroupClass or better if i right click on buttons and use SetButtonGroup that i can select one of the "configured" ButtonGroupClasses?

I have made a new ButtonGroupClass for JToggleButtons so that i can deselect the buttons.
If i want use the ButtonGroupClass then i have to do it in sourcecode and can not assign it with the designer.

regrads,
michael

Can you describe YourButtonGroup?
Is it subclass of standard ButtonGroup?
Can you send source?

If it is, then you should see its existing instances in "Set ButtonGroup" menu.
If no, you can try to create wbp-component.xml for it and use
<model class="com.instantiations.designer.swing.model.bean.ButtonGroupInfo"/>
to force Designer use known model, so again show it.

Hi,

yes, it is a subclass of standard ButtonGroup.

Code: Select all

public class ExtButtonGroup
   extends ButtonGroup {

   private PropertyChangeSupport propertyChangeSupport = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);

   /**
    * {@inheritDoc}
    */
   @Override
   public void setSelected(ButtonModel newM, boolean newB) {
      ButtonModel oldSelection = getSelection();
      super.setSelected(newM, newB);

      if (!newB && (oldSelection == newM)) {
         clearSelection();
         propertyChangeSupport.firePropertyChange("clearSelection", oldSelection, null); //$NON-NLS-1$
      }
   }

   public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener propertyChangeListener) {
      propertyChangeSupport.addPropertyChangeListener(propertyChangeListener);
   }

   public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener propertyChangeListener) {
      propertyChangeSupport.removePropertyChangeListener(propertyChangeListener);
   }
}


I made now a wbp-component.xml but it didn't show me the buttonGroup. The SwingDesigner didn't show any Group although there is one.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component xmlns="http://www.instantiations.com/D2/WBPComponent">
   <model class="com.instantiations.designer.swing.model.bean.ButtonGroupInfo"/>
</component>

Subclasses of ButtonGroup should work in the latest Swing Designer v7.2 build.

thank you.

i can see my buttongroup now if i make an instance manually in sourcecode and then i can select this buttongroup in the "Set Button Group" menu.
Is it possible that i can choose between some more configured Buttongroups without doing the manually sourcecode way?
Somethng like "Set ButtonGroup" - "new..." and then choose a button group class?

regards,
michael

We have added this option to the latest build.
