Class ControlCreatorString

java.lang.Object

to.etc.domui.component2.controlfactory.ControlCreatorString

All Implemented Interfaces:

IControlCreator

public class ControlCreatorString
extends Object
implements IControlCreator

This is a fallback factory; it accepts anything and shows a String edit component OR a DisplayValue component for it. It hopes that the control can convert the string input value to the actual type using the registered Converters. This is also the factory for regular Strings.

Description copied from interface: IControlCreator

This MUST create all nodes necessary for a control to edit the specified item. The nodes must be added to the container; this must return a ModelBinding to bind and unbind a value to the control created.

Specified by:

createControl in interface IControlCreator

Returns:
