Class ToggleButtonAdapter

      javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ItemSelectable, Serializable, ButtonModel

    public final class ToggleButtonAdapter

extends JToggleButton.ToggleButtonModel

Converts ValueModels to the ToggleButtonModel interface. Useful to bind JToggleButton, JCheckBox and JCheckBoxMenuItem to a ValueModel.

This adapter holds two values that represent the selected and the deselected state. These are used to determine the selection state if the underlying subject ValueModel changes its value. If the selection is set, the corresponding representant is written to the underlying ValueModel.

Constraints: The subject ValueModel must allow read-access to its value. Also, it is strongly recommended (though not required) that the underlying ValueModel provides only two values, for example Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE. This is so because the toggle button component may behave "strangely" when it is used with ValueModels that provide more than two elements.

Examples:

     // Recommended binding style using a factory
     ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
     JCheckBox visibleBox = BasicComponentFactory.createCheckBox(model, "Visible");

     // Binding using the Bindings class
     ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
     JCheckBox visibleBox = new JCheckBox("Visible");
     Bindings.bind(visibleBox, model);

     // Hand-made binding
     ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
     JCheckBox visibleBox = new JCheckBox("Visible");
     visibleBox.setModel(new ToggleButtonAdapter(model));

Constructor Detail

### ToggleButtonAdapter

    public ToggleButtonAdapter(ValueModel subject)

  Constructs a ToggleButtonAdapter on the given subject ValueModel. The created adapter will be selected if and only if the subject's initial value is `Boolean.TRUE`.

  Parameters:
    `subject` - the subject that holds the value
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the subject is `null`.

### ToggleButtonAdapter

    public ToggleButtonAdapter(ValueModel subject,
                               Object selectedValue,
                               Object deselectedValue)

  Constructs a ToggleButtonAdapter on the given subject ValueModel using the specified values for the selected and deselected state. The created adapter will be selected if and only if the subject's initial value equals the given `selectedValue`.

  Parameters:
    `subject` - the subject that holds the value
    `selectedValue` - the value that will be set if this is selected
    `deselectedValue` - the value that will be set if this is deselected
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the subject is `null`.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the selected and deselected values are equal

Method Detail

### setSelected

    public void setSelected(boolean b)

  First, the subject value is set to this adapter's selected value if the argument is `true`, to the deselected value otherwise. Second, this adapter's state is set to the then current subject value. This ensures that the selected state is synchronized with the subject - even if the subject rejects the change.

  Specified by:
    `setSelected` in interface `ButtonModel`
  Overrides:
    `setSelected` in class `JToggleButton.ToggleButtonModel`
  Parameters:
    `b` - `true` sets the selected value as subject value, `false` sets the deselected value as subject value
