Hello Johan,
yes, I'd like to make a generic Panel, which Model is updated
(somehow) by a combination or some other computation of the Models of
its included FormComponents. So the Panel shall map on a single
property, but consists of several sub-components.
I see that Palette from extensions does something like that, but I
don't really see through the way it is done there (updateModel() of
the Recorder calls updateModel() of the Palette, which itself seems to
change to modelObject).
To clarify this a little, some code snippets (at least there's no
language barrier ;):
class MyPanel extends Panel {
public MyPanel(String id) {
super(id);
add(new TextField());
add(new TextField());
}
}
I'd like this Panel behave in such a way, that when I enter "foo" in
the first field and "bar" in the second:
myPanel().getModelObjectAsString() == "foobar"
Where should I process the concatenation to update the panel model
correctly? Because _then_ I could use MyPanel in a form with a CPM,
and the form wouldn't have to care about anything happening inside the
Panel.
I hope this is a little clearer now :-)
