UISupport

Convenience view layer controls to assist with the formatting, validation, and data entry acceleration.  Tailored for use with JGoodies Binding.  Includes:

• Date field group controller
• Calendar popup
• Real-time text field spell checker
• Decimal field caret controller
• Binding helper methods

Use

/* 
 * Recommended use pattern is to collect the DB bindings 
 * and UISupport features into a single post-initialization 
 * method relative to a view:
 */
void initialize() {
    // create all view controls
    bind();
}
                   
void bind() {
    ...
    // for a JFormattedTextField named 'decField'
    Bindings.bind(decField, presentationModel.getModel(Bill.FEE));
    UIBind.formatter(decField, UIBind.CURRENCY);
    UIBind.decimalCaretController(decField);
    ...
    // for a JFormattedTextField named 'datedField'
    Bindings.bind(datedField, presentationModel.getModel(Action.DATED));
    UIBind.formatter(datedField, UIBind.DATE);
    UIBind.dateVerifier(datedField);
    UIBind.calendarPopup(datedField);
    ...
    // for a JFormattedTextField named 'dueDateField' (forms a date group)
    Bindings.bind(dueDateField, presentationModel.getModel(Action.DUEDATE));
    UIBind.formatter(dueDateField, UIBind.DATE, datedField);
    UIBind.dateVerifier(dueDateField, UIBind.FIRST, datedField);
    UIBind.calendarPopup(dueDateField);
    ...
