ip insert field

[orome]

Hi,
Provieds JIDE a IP field? I mean something like the fields of the windows-network settings gui. Looks like this: [ . . . ] the field should also validate the input.

We don't have one but we will consider adding it. I'll update this thread when we do it.

Thanks,

[JIDE Support]

Just so you know, we added IPTextField in 1.9.1 release. Please give it a try and let us know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

[orome]

Thanks a lot, just tried it out and it looks fine. Just the kind of stuff ive looked for

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the IPTextField in the JIDE Property so that it can be used in the PropertyTableModel? The Property constructor doesn't seem to recognize com.jidesoft.field.IPTextField classtype as anything special and treats it as a String type.

Thanks, Joel

You will have to create a IPTextFieldCellEditor and register it with CellEditorManager. The type of it should be the data type, not editor class type. You can refer to PropertyPane demo to see how to register a new editor/renderer with a type.

Thanks,

[jmerrin]

OK, that makes sense. Looking at the example code in the property pane demo each CellEditor create instantiates a CellEditor that is provided in the JIDE software libraries. I notice there is no IPTextFieldCellEditor. Is there a pattern for this?
Thanks, Joel.

We didn't create IPTextFieldCellEditor. You can use the code below as template. Just replace MultilineStringComboBox with IPTextField and change other code accordingly.

Code: Select all

package com.jidesoft.grid;

import com.jidesoft.combobox.MultilineStringComboBox;
import com.jidesoft.swing.JideSwingUtilities;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;

/**
 * A multiple line text cell editor.
 */
public class MultilineStringCellEditor extends ContextSensitiveCellEditor implements TableCellEditor, ItemListener {

    public final static EditorContext CONTEXT = new EditorContext("MultilineString");

    private MultilineStringComboBox _comboBox;

    /**
     * Creates a FileNameCellEditor.
     */
    public MultilineStringCellEditor() {
        _comboBox = createMultilineStringComboBox();
        _comboBox.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
    }

    /**
     * Creates the MultilineStringComboBox used by this cell editor.
     * @return a MultilineStringComboBox.
     */
    protected MultilineStringComboBox createMultilineStringComboBox() {
        return new MultilineStringComboBox();
    }

    /**
     * Gets the value of the cell editor.
     *
     * @return the value in this cell editor.
     */
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        _comboBox.setSelectedItem(_comboBox.getEditor().getItem());
        return _comboBox.getSelectedItem();
    }

    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                                                 boolean isSelected,
                                                 int row, int column) {
        if (table != null) {
            JideSwingUtilities.installColorsAndFont(_comboBox, table.getBackground(), table.getForeground(), table.getFont());
        }
        _comboBox.setSelectedItem(value, false);
        _comboBox.setConverterContext(getConverterContext());
        _comboBox.addItemListener(this);
        return _comboBox;
    }

    public boolean stopCellEditing() {
        _comboBox.setPopupVisible(false);
        return super.stopCellEditing();
    }

    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
        if (e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
            _comboBox.removeItemListener(this);
            stopCellEditing();
        }
    }
}

Yes! This example is exactly what I needed.

(I'm mostly adding this post just to get some more keywords in there so people doing similar things will find this sample code)

I have been trying to create an AbstractComboBoxCellEditor that, like MultilineStringCellEditor, uses a ComboBox to facilitate the opening of an editor dialog. But it is a generic dialog box for editing data that does not correspond to any concept of item selection (which is central to AbstractComboBox).

And I expect this would apply to ExComboBoxCellEditor and ExComboBox as well, but I went with AbstractComboBox because it supports centering the dialog over the appropriate parent, which does not seem to be the case with ExComboBox.

[JIDE Support]

May I ask which JIDE release you are using? Just tried ExComboBoxDemo in 3.2.4. The dialog does popup at the center of the parent JFrame. A test case would help us speed up the bug fix process if there is one.

Thanks,

[csantora]

3.0.4, I believe.

[JIDE Support]

Just tried ComboBoxDemo and ExComboBoxDemo in 3.0.4. However, I could not observe any different behavior regarding the dialog location. Can you please post some images to demonstrate the issue you stated?

Thanks,

[csantora]

An additional point to note is that I am running with dual monitors and the application was in the secondary monitor. An my ExComboBox dialog showed up on the primary monitor, and after I converted my class to be an AbstractComboBox, it showed up over the application in the secondary monitor as one would expect.

[JIDE Support]

Thanks for the hint. Will fix it in next regular release. Please give the pre-release at http://www.jidesoft.com/downloads/archives/jide.3.3.0-pre.lib.debug.zip a try to verify.

Thanks,

Hi,

I use your IpTextField, but I would like to know if you can add another field (maybe IpAndMaskTextField or NetworkTextField) to allow the following editor :

192.168.1.0 / 24

where the last number is the net mask (from 0 to 32).

Thanks

Is it okay to add an extra JTextField as the mast field after the IPTextField?

[jfouche]

Will the slash (/) be visible (as the dots are) ?
Moreover, as for ip text fields, could you decrease the mask value to 32 (or better : use a property to define min and max mask values, like setMaskRange() ) if the user write something which is greater than 32 ?

If you're interrested to implement this request, I would be very happy.

[JIDE Support]

No, sorry, I actually suggest you add a JTextField yourself to implement the feature you want. The IPTextField's implementation is not very elegant (as we didn't come up with a better way) so we prefer not to enhance it on top of it.

[jfouche]

Sorry, I didn't understand you
What you suggest is to create my own IPNetworkTextField (which inherit JPanel), based on the IPTextfield and a Textfield for the mask ? And I suppose I have to create my own IPNetworkCellEditor class too. If that's all, I'll try to do so.

[JIDE Support]

Yes. That's what I mean.

[jfouche]

Thanks for your answer.
Are you interrested by this or not ? I mean, do you want me to give you my code when I finish it ?

[JIDE Support]

Sure. That'll be great. We always appreciate people willing to share the code. We will take a look and see if we can integrate it into future jide releases.

[JIDE Support]

Just so you know, the ExComboBox popup issue is fixed in 3.3.0 just released.

Thanks,
