Class TooltipProp

java.lang.Object
com.iizix.prop.GProp<KTooltip>
com.iizix.prop.ui.TooltipProp
All Implemented Interfaces:
EventListener, IGProp<KTooltip>, IReferencingGProp, IKStringHolder<KTooltip>, IKStringInfoProvider, IKStringValuePropHolder<KTooltip>, ITextExternalizableProp<KTooltip>, Cloneable
public class TooltipProp extends GProp<KTooltip> implements IKStringValuePropHolder<KTooltip>
The tooltip property is a container that holds various information for the tooltip, e.g. the KString text, the type of tooltip used for messages and how it is displayed. A tooltip can be attached to any UI component. A "message" TooltipProp can be attached to the same component, in which case that property is shown instead of the "tooltip" until canceled. The distinction between the "message" and the "tooltip" is the Atom.TOOLTIP or Atom.MESSAGE.

The tooltip behaves differently when used on a touch device such as tablet or mobile as opposed to mouse being present for a desktop device.

      Clones the tooltip property.
      Overrides:
      clone in class GProp<KTooltip>
      Returns:
      A new cloned instance.

    • equalValues

      protected Object equalValues(GProp<?> compareTo, KTooltip thisValue, KTooltip 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<KTooltip>
      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).

    • 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<KTooltip>
      Specified by:
      getValueClasses in class GProp<KTooltip>
      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.

    • validatePropType
