Method Detail

getPanel

InputPanel<?,?> getPanel()
Gets the input panel intended to house the widget.


getModule

Module getModule()
Gets the module's associated module instance.


getItem

ModuleItem<?> getItem()
Gets the module input's associated item descriptor.


getObjectPool

List<?> getObjectPool()
Gets the available objects for use with the widget. For example, ObjectWidgets typically display a dropdown combo box providing multiple choice selection between these objects.

Note that this list does not represent a constraint in allowed widget values, but rather provides a list of possibilities in cases where the realm of values is not defined by the type in some other way.

See Also:
ObjectWidget

getWidgetLabel

String getWidgetLabel()
Gets the text to use when labeling this widget. The linked item's label will be given if available (i.e., BasicDetails.getLabel()). Otherwise, a capitalized version of the item's name is given (i.e., Named.getName()).


isStyle

boolean isStyle(String style)
Gets whether the widget is the given style. A widget may have multiple styles separated by commas, so this method is more correct than using style.equals(getItem().getWidgetStyle()).


getValue

Object getValue()
Gets the current value of the module input.

In the case of inputs with a limited set of choices (i.e., ChoiceWidgets and ObjectWidgets), this method ensures the value is in the set; if not, it returns the first item of the set.


setValue

void setValue(Object value)
Sets the current value of the module input.


callback

void callback()
Executes the callback associated with this widget's associated input.


getMin

Number getMin()
Gets the minimum value for the module input.

Returns:
The minimum value, or null if the type is unbounded.

getMax

Number getMax()
Gets the maximum value for the module input.

Returns:
The maximum value, or null if the type is unbounded.

getSoftMin

Number getSoftMin()
Gets the "soft" minimum value for the module input.

Returns:
The "soft" minimum value, or getMin() if none.
See Also:
ModuleItem.getSoftMinimum()

getSoftMax

Number getSoftMax()
Gets the "soft" maximum value for the module input.

Returns:
The "soft" maximum value, or getMax() if none.
See Also:
ModuleItem.getSoftMaximum()

getStepSize

Number getStepSize()
Gets the step size between values for the module input.

Returns:
The step size, or 1 by default.

getChoices

String[] getChoices()
Gets the multiple choice list for the module input.

Returns:
The available choices, or an empty list if not multiple choice.
See Also:
ChoiceWidget

getText

String getText()
Gets the input's value rendered as a string.

Returns:
String representation of the input value, or the empty string if the value is null or the null character ('\0').

isMessage

boolean isMessage()
Gets whether the input is a message.

See Also:
ItemVisibility.MESSAGE

isText

boolean isText()
Gets whether the input is a text type (i.e., String, Character or char.


isCharacter

boolean isCharacter()
Gets whether the input is a character type (i.e., Character or char).


isNumber

boolean isNumber()
Gets whether the input is a number type (e.g., int, float or any Number implementation.


isBoolean

boolean isBoolean()
Gets whether the input is a boolean type (i.e., Boolean or boolean).


isMultipleChoice

boolean isMultipleChoice()
Gets whether the input provides a restricted set of choices.


isType

boolean isType(Class<?> type)
Gets whether the input is compatible with the given type.


setInitialized

void setInitialized(boolean initialized)
Toggles the widget's initialization state. An initialized widget can be assumed to be an active part of a container InputPanel.


isInitialized

boolean isInitialized()
Gets the widget's initialization state. An initialized widget can be assumed to be an active part of a container InputPanel.
