| Re: [gef-dev] showing properties in the property view |
Hi, in my oppinion ... this is quite difficult. The problem is that you need to know how each property will be represented by a certain PropertyDescriptor. If all properties will be represented by a TextPropertyDescriptor it would be easier to solve your problem. But thats not the fact now. Try making a getProperty() call enumerate over this collection and generate a TextPropertyDescriptor for each property contained. Save your generated PropertyDescriptors in a Hashtable with unique identifiers. Implement the methods your class inherits from IPropertySource. The parameter "id" each method gets must now be mapped to the corresponding property. Assuming all methods from IPropertySource are implemented now and your editor-class is prepared for using the propertysheet, everything will work. Please tell me if this works ... regards Andreas Am Donnerstag, 10. März 2005 16:24 schrieb GUNJAN SINGH: > HI!
