Method Detail

disposeAssociations

protected void disposeAssociations()

Overrides:

disposeAssociations in class EOTitlesController

disposeIfTransient

protected boolean disposeIfTransient()

Description copied from class: EOController

Disposes the receiver if it's transient, first removing it from its supercontroller with removeTransientSubcontroller If the receiver's supercontroller is non-null, this method also attempts to dispose of the supercontroller if it's transient. Supercontrollers can prevent a controller from becoming transient, in which case this method returns false. Subclasses should first invoke the super implementation and only continue disposing if the super implementation returns true.

Overrides:

disposeIfTransient in class EOAssociationController

Returns:

true if the receiver can be transient and has been disposed; false otherwise

See Also:

EOController.removeTransientSubcontroller(EOController)

canBeTransient

public boolean canBeTransient()

Description copied from class: EOComponentController

Returns whether the controller can be transient. By default, a component controller is transient only if it's an instance of EOComponentController, not an instance of a subclass.

Overrides:

canBeTransient in class EOComponentController

Returns:

true if the receiver can be transient; false otherwise

connectionWasEstablished

protected void connectionWasEstablished()

Description copied from class: EOController

Invoked from establishConnection to notify the receiver that its connection to the controller hierarchy has been established, giving the receiver the opportunity to prepare itself (for example, setting delegates).

Overrides:

connectionWasEstablished in class EOTitlesController

See Also:

EOController.establishConnection()

connectionWasBroken

protected void connectionWasBroken()

Description copied from class: EOController

Invoked from breakConnection to notify the receiver that its connection to its supercontroller has been broken, giving the receiver the opportunity to clean up after its become idle.

Overrides:

connectionWasBroken in class EOTitlesController

See Also:

EOController.breakConnection()

componentDidBecomeVisible

protected void componentDidBecomeVisible()

Description copied from class: EOComponentController

Invoked when the receiver's component becomes visible, giving the receiver a chance to react. EOComponentController's implementation invokes establishConnection to ensure the receiver is connected to the controller hierarchy.

Overrides:

componentDidBecomeVisible in class EOComponentController

setUsesButton

public void setUsesButton(boolean flag)

usesButton

public boolean usesButton()

setUsesAction

public void setUsesAction(boolean flag)

usesAction

public boolean usesAction()

setActionKey

public void setActionKey(String string)

actionKey

public String actionKey()

setButtonPosition

public void setButtonPosition(int position)

buttonPosition

public int buttonPosition()

preferredWidgetAutosizingMask

protected int preferredWidgetAutosizingMask()

Overrides:

preferredWidgetAutosizingMask in class EOWidgetController

newWidget

protected JComponent newWidget()

Specified by:

newWidget in class EOWidgetController

startListeningToWidget

protected void startListeningToWidget()

Overrides:

startListeningToWidget in class EOWidgetController

stopListeningToWidget

protected void stopListeningToWidget()

Overrides:

stopListeningToWidget in class EOWidgetController

newTitlesDataSource

public EODataSource newTitlesDataSource()

Overrides:

newTitlesDataSource in class EOTitlesController

newAssociation

protected EOAssociation newAssociation(JComponent widget,
                                       EODisplayGroup displayGroup,
                                       String enabledKey,
                                       EODisplayGroup enabledDisplayGroup)

Overrides:

newAssociation in class EOTitlesController

defaultActions

protected NSArray defaultActions()

Description copied from class: EOController

Returns an array of the receiver's default actions (EOAction objects). A subclass of EOController should override this method to return the actions it defines merged with the actions of its superclass. Never invoke this method directly. Instead, invoke actions, which caches the results of defaultActions and is therefore more efficient.

Overrides:

defaultActions in class EOController

Returns:

an array of the receiver's default actions

See Also:

EOController.actions(), EOController.resetActions()

componentHidden

public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent event)

Specified by:

componentHidden in interface ComponentListener

componentMoved

public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent event)

Specified by:

componentMoved in interface ComponentListener

componentResized

public void componentResized(ComponentEvent event)

Specified by:

componentResized in interface ComponentListener

componentShown

public void componentShown(ComponentEvent event)

Specified by:

componentShown in interface ComponentListener

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: EOComponentController

Returns the receiver as a string that states the receiver's class name and type name, whether the receiver is connected, the number of subcontrollers, whether or not the receiver has been prepared, whether or not the receiver is visible, information about widget sizing and alignment behavior, and so on.

Overrides:

toString in class EOTitlesController

Returns:

the String representation of the receiver
