RFT1.0

Constructor Summary

ReadOnlyString(java.lang.Object base, java.lang.String value)
Enforces the separation between the true object and the viewable form of the object in the editors.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	getBaseObject() Accesses the base object represented by the editor.
java.lang.String	getReadOnlyString() Accesses the textual representation of the base value displayed in the editor.
int	hashCode() Overloads the core java.lang.Object implementation of hashCode.
void	setReadOnlyString(java.lang.String value) Updates the textual representation of the base value.
java.lang.String	toString() Accesses the textual representation of the base value as defined in the constructor.

Method Detail

getBaseObject

public java.lang.Object getBaseObject()

Accesses the base object represented by the editor. Note that a set method to update the original value does not exist. That is, the original value cannot be updated.

public void setReadOnlyString(java.lang.String value)

Updates the textual representation of the base value.

Since:

RFT1.0

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Accesses the textual representation of the base value as defined in the constructor.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Since:
