Class BasicComponentFactory

    java.lang.Object
      com.jgoodies.binding.adapter.BasicComponentFactory

    public class BasicComponentFactory

extends Object

Consists only of static methods that create and vend frequently used Swing components that are then bound to a given ValueModel. This class is one of two helper classes that help you establish a binding: 1) the Bindings class binds components that have been created before; it wraps ValueModels with the adapters from package `com.jgoodies.binding.adapter`. 2) this BasicComponentFactory creates Swing components that are then tied to ValueModels using the the different `#bind` methods in the Bindings class.

If you have an existing factory that vends Swing components, you can use Bindings to bind them to ValueModels. If you don't have such a factory, you can use this BasicComponentFactory to create and bind Swing components.

This class is intended to be used or extended by custom ComponentFactory classes. Such a factory can create a broader variety of component types, may use different default configurations, and can use your favorite Formatters, FormatterFactories, etc.

Method Detail

### createCheckBox

    public static JCheckBox createCheckBox(ValueModel valueModel,
                                           String markedText)

  Creates and returns a check box with the specified text label that is bound to the given ValueModel. The check box is selected if and only if the model's value equals `Boolean.TRUE`. The created check box' content area is not filled, and a mnemonic is set, if the text contains a mnemonic marker ('&'). See `MnemonicUtils` for detailed information about mnemonic markers and how to quote the marker character.

  The model is converted to the required ToggleButtonModel using a ToggleButtonAdapter.

  Parameters:
    `valueModel` - the model that provides a Boolean value
    `markedText` - the check boxes' text label - may contain a mnemonic marker
  Returns:
    a check box with the specified text bound to the given model, selected if the model's value equals Boolean.TRUE
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the valueModel is `null`

### createColorChooser

    public static JColorChooser createColorChooser(ValueModel valueModel)

  Creates and returns a JColorChooser that has the color selection bound to the given ValueModel. The ValueModel must be of type Color and must allow read-access to its value, and the initial value must not be `null`.

  It is strongly recommended (though not required) that the underlying ValueModel provides only non-null values. This is so because the ColorSelectionModel behavior is undefined for `null` values and it may have unpredictable results. To avoid these problems, you may create the ColorChooser with a default color using `createColorChooser(ValueModel, Color)`.

  Parameters:
    `valueModel` - a Color-typed ValueModel
  Returns:
    a color chooser with the selected color bound to the given model
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the valueModel is `null`, or if its initial value is `null`
  Since:
    1.0.3
  See Also:
    `createColorChooser(ValueModel, Color)`

### createColorChooser

    public static JColorChooser createColorChooser(ValueModel valueModel,
                                                   Color defaultColor)

  Creates and returns a JColorChooser that has the color selection bound to the given ValueModel. The ValueModel must be of type Color and must allow read-access to its value. If the valueModel returns `null`, the given default color is used instead. This avoids problems with the ColorSelectionModel that may have unpredictable result for `null` values.

  Parameters:
    `valueModel` - a Color-typed ValueModel
    `defaultColor` - the color used if the valueModel returns null
  Returns:
    a color chooser with the selected color bound to the given model
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the valueModel or the default color is `null`,
  Since:
    1.1

### createComboBox

    public static <E> JComboBox createComboBox(SelectionInList<E> selectionInList)

  Creates and returns a non-editable JComboBox that is bound to the given SelectionInList. The SelectionInList's ListModel is the list data provider and the selection index holder is used for the combo box model's selected item.

  If the selectionInList's selection holder is a `ComponentValueModel` it is synchronized with the visible and enabled state of the returned combo box.

  There are a couple of other possibilities to bind a JComboBox. See the constructors and the class comment of the `ComboBoxAdapter`.

  Type Parameters:
    `E` - the type of the combo box items and the selection
  Parameters:
    `selectionInList` - provides the list and selection
  Returns:
    a non-editable JComboBox that is bound to the SelectionInList
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the selectionInList is `null`
  Since:
    1.0.1
  See Also:
    `ComboBoxAdapter`

### createComboBox

    public static <E> JComboBox createComboBox(SelectionInList<E> selectionInList,
                                               ListCellRenderer cellRenderer)

  Creates and returns a non-editable JComboBox that is bound to the given SelectionInList using the given cell renderer. The SelectionInList provides the list data and the selection index holder is used for the combo box model's selected item.

  If the selectionInList's selection holder is a `ComponentValueModel` it is synchronized with the visible and enabled state of the returned combo box.

  There are a couple of other possibilities to bind a JComboBox. See the constructors and the class comment of the `ComboBoxAdapter`.

  Type Parameters:
    `E` - the type of the combo box items and the selection
  Parameters:
    `selectionInList` - provides the list and selection
    `cellRenderer` - an optional ListCellRenderer, can be `null`
  Returns:
    a non-editable JComboBox that is bound to the SelectionInList and uses the given renderer - if non-`null`
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the selectionInList is `null`
  Since:
    1.0.1

    `ComboBoxAdapter`

### createDateField

    public static JFormattedTextField createDateField(ValueModel valueModel)

  Creates and returns a formatted text field that is bound to the Date value of the given ValueModel. The JFormattedTextField is configured with an AbstractFormatter that uses two different DateFormats to edit and display the Date. A `SHORT` DateFormat with strict checking is used to edit (parse) a date; the DateFormatter's default DateFormat is used to display (format) a date. In both cases `null` Dates are mapped to the empty String.

  Parameters:
    `valueModel` - the model that holds the value to be edited
  Returns:
    a formatted text field for Date instances that is bound to the given value model
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the valueModel is `null`

### createPasswordField

    public static JPasswordField createPasswordField(ValueModel valueModel)

  Creates and returns a JPasswordField with the content bound to the given ValueModel. Text changes are committed to the model on focus lost.

For stronger security it is recommended to request a character array from the JPasswordField and clear the array after use by setting each character to zero. Method `JPasswordField.getPassword()` return's the field's password as a character array.

  Parameters:
    `valueModel` - the model that provides the value
  Returns:
    a text field that is bound to the given value model
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the valueModel is `null`
