Hello Guys, I am having a problem when implementing a Custom Property Editor and I feel like the tutorial at https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-property-editors.html#customEditor should be edited.
The Problem is for my usecase I don't want an InplaceEditor. So far so good, everything works as expected except from the behavior when I press "ok". I haven't found a way to propagate the UI Elements content back to the property: 1. I tried using PropertyEditorSupport#getValue() in conjunction with the reference to the return of #getCustomEditor() -> This fails because there are plenty(!) instances of My Editor Class but for some reason the one holding the customEditorComponent is exactly the one _not_ getting the getValue() calls. 2. I tried using editor.setValue(obj); FROM the Swing Component in the Swing Thread (every time any UI Component changes it's value), but this fails with java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempt to mutate in notification, because my Swing Components also react to editor.setValue() calls. I tried digging into https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/platform/openide.explorer/src/org/openide/explorer/propertysheet/PropertyDialogManager.java#L493 and related lines, but I could not find out how to set "lastValueFromEditor", or say: My calls to env.setState(PropertyEnv.STATE_VALID); should actually trigger the lastValueFromEditor to be updated, but there we'd be at issue 1 again. I guess the solution is very simple but it'd be nice if this could be clarified because more complex properties just don't work with an inplace editor. It would be nice if these steps could also be shown in the related tutorial (instead of a JLabel, one could use a simple JInputField maybe?) The only other possibility I see is instead of passing a JPanel is passing something extending Window and handle the OK/Cancel myself, but that's just hacking around the way it was intended.
