ucar.nc2.ui.widget.SuperComboBox

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, javax.accessibility.Accessible

public class SuperComboBox
extends javax.swing.JPanel

SuperComboBox is a complete rewrite of JComboBox; it does not extend JComboBox (!) Items added may implement NamedObject, in which case getName() is used as the row name, and getDescription() is used as the tooltip. Otherwise, o.toString() is used as the row name, and there is no tooltip. The row names must be unique. An ActionValueEvent is thrown when the selection is changed through manipulation of the widget. The selection can be obtained from actionEvent.getValue(), which returns the the selection row name. The caller can change the selection by calling setSelectionByName(). In this case, no event is thrown.

Constructor Detail

SuperComboBox

public SuperComboBox(javax.swing.RootPaneContainer parent,
                     java.lang.String name,
                     boolean sortOK,
                     java.util.Iterator iter)
