    • isPredefinedNameValid

      public static boolean isPredefinedNameValid(String name)
      Checks if a Style name beginning with '*' contains valid characters.
    • onPropDispose

      protected void onPropDispose()
      Property disposed of: dispose of reference.
      Overrides:
      onPropDispose in class GProp<ReferenceString>
    • getReferenceString

      public ReferenceString getReferenceString()
      Gets the reference string.
    • setPropValue

      public boolean setPropValue(String newValue) throws PropValidateException
      Sets a new value for this property. If any listener is present and the value has changed compare to the last value, the listener is informed.
      Parameters:
      newValue - the new value.
      Returns:
      boolean true for value has changed, false for same value as current value.
      Throws:
      PropValidateException - When the constraints are not met.
    • validatePropType

      public void validatePropType(Object newValue) throws PropTypeException
      Validates that the value to set is of ReferenceString instance.

      Note: When this method is called, synchronization is done at the property itself, so no synchronization on the tree should be done.

      Specified by:
      validatePropType in interface IGProp<ReferenceString>
      Specified by:
      validatePropType in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      newValue - The new value to set.
      Throws:
      PropTypeException - when the new value isn't of the correct class.
    • getValueClasses

      public Class<?>[] getValueClasses()
      Gets the list of possible native Java classes that can be used to set a value using setPropertyValue, in order of importance. Note that loss of precision in data if e.g. an Float property accepts a Double. However, the setPropertyValue throws IllegalArgumentException if the range in invalid, e.g. conversion of a Integer to a Byte, and the value is not -127 to 128.
      Specified by:
      getValueClasses in interface IGProp<ReferenceString>
      Specified by:
      getValueClasses in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Returns:
      The array of Java classes that can be accepted in the setPropertyValue method. The first type is the "native" or most preferred type. The array is at least one item in length and never null.
    • getPropValue0

      protected Object getPropValue0(Object value, int index) throws Exception
      Gets the property value in another class form than the "native" one. This method tries conversion of a "native" property value into another class type. This method is used when filling in a POJO variable (Plain Old Java Object Field) from a "native" property value.
      Specified by:
      getPropValue0 in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      value - The property value.
      index - The index in the Class array returned by getValueClasses().
      Returns:
      The property value in the requested class, after conversion.
      Throws:
      Exception - Other exceptions that could occur.
    • toNativeValue0

      protected Object toNativeValue0(Object value, int index) throws Exception
      Tries conversion of possibly accepted properties values using the setPropertyValue method into the most preferred property value type. If the input value already is of the preferred type, the same object is returned.
      Specified by:
      toNativeValue0 in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      value - The input value to convert to native value.
      index - The index in the array returned by getValueClasses(), or -1 if not found.
      Returns:
      The converted input value in the preferred property value object type.
      Throws:
      Exception - For conversion exceptions.
    • clone

      public StylesReferences clone()
      Overrides the clone to clear runtime references.
      Overrides:

      protected void onPropParentChanged(PropCnr oldParent, PropCnr newParent)
      Called when parent changed.
      Overrides:
      onPropParentChanged in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      oldParent - The old parent (or null if none).
      newParent - The new parent (or null if none).
    • equalValues

      protected Object equalValues(GProp<?> compareTo, ReferenceString thisValue, ReferenceString compareValue, int how)
      Checks for property value equality. The object is of the correct type for the respective property type. The Atoms and other properties such as Private/Extends has already been checked for equality or correctness.
      Overrides:
      equalValues in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      compareTo - The comparing-to property that contains the value.
      thisValue - This property value (for synchronization reasons).
      compareValue - Another property value.
      how - Flags EQC_* values for equal checking.
      Returns:
      The property not being equal, null for equal (both values null).
    • getReference

      public String getReference()
      Gets the reference string.
      Returns:
      The reference string or null if not set.
    • onEventSelf

      public void onEventSelf(GEvent event)
      Called when a property event is send to this property.

      A subclass can override this method to perform appropriate processing and is not required to call super.onEventSelf(e).

      Specified by:
      onEventSelf in interface IGProp<ReferenceString>
      Overrides:
      onEventSelf in class GProp<ReferenceString>

      event - The property event.
    • onReferenceEvent

      protected void onReferenceEvent(ResolveReferencesEvent event)
      Called to perform reference resolving. A property should override this method if it needs to perform reference resolving and validation.

      Subclasses override this method and only subclasses extending PropCnr needs to call super.onReferenceEvent(ResolveReferenceEvent event).

      Overrides:
      onReferenceEvent in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      event - The resolve references event.
    • onProjectNameChanged

      Overrides:
      isPropValueTreeLockNeeded in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Returns:
      true for this class.
    • onPropValueSet

      protected void onPropValueSet(Object oldValue)

      Note: this method is called during a synchronized state of the class instance!

      Overrides:
      onPropValueSet in class GProp<ReferenceString>
      Parameters:
      oldValue - The old value.
    • getAllStyles

      public Styles[] getAllStyles()
