Method Detail

getState

Returns:
the value of the label.

setValue

newDataSource - the new data source Property
See Also:
Property.Viewer.setPropertyDataSource(com.vaadin.data.Property)

getContentMode

Parameters:
event - value change event object
See Also:
Property.ValueChangeListener.valueChange(Property.ValueChangeEvent)

attach

public void attach()
Description copied from interface: ClientConnector
Notifies the connector that it is connected to a VaadinSession (and therefore also to a UI).

The caller of this method is #setParent(ClientConnector) if the parent is itself already attached to the session. If not, the parent will call the ClientConnector.attach() for all its children when it is attached to the session. This method is always called before the connector's data is sent to the client-side for the first time.

The attachment logic is implemented in AbstractClientConnector.

Specified by:
attach in interface ClientConnector
Specified by:
attach in interface Component
Overrides:
attach in class AbstractComponent

setLocale

public void setLocale(java.util.Locale locale)
Description copied from class: AbstractComponent
Sets the locale of this component. 
 // Component for which the locale is meaningful
 InlineDateField date = new InlineDateField("Datum");
 
 // German language specified with ISO 639-1 language
 // code and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
 date.setLocale(new Locale("de", "DE"));
 
 date.setResolution(DateField.RESOLUTION_DAY);
 layout.addComponent(date);

Overrides:
setLocale in class AbstractComponent
Parameters:
locale - the locale to become this component's locale.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Label other)
Compares the Label to other objects.

Labels can be compared to other labels for sorting label contents. This is especially handy for sorting table columns.

In RAW, PREFORMATTED and TEXT modes, the label contents are compared as is. In XML, UIDL and HTML modes, only CDATA is compared and tags ignored. If the other object is not a Label, its toString() return value is used in comparison.

Specified by:
compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Label>
Parameters:
other - the Other object to compare to.
Returns:
a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
See Also:
Comparable.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

getConverter

public Converter<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getConverter()
Gets the converter used to convert the property data source value to the label value.

Returns:
The converter or null if none is set.

setConverter

public void setConverter(Converter<java.lang.String,?> converter)
Sets the converter used to convert the label value to the property data source type. The converter must have a presentation type of String.

Parameters:
converter - The new converter to use.

toString

@Deprecated
public java.lang.String toString()
Deprecated. As of 7.0, use getValue() to get the value of the label or getPropertyDataSource().getValue() to get the value of the data source.

Returns a string representation of this object. The returned string representation depends on if the legacy Property toString mode is enabled or disabled.

If legacy Property toString mode is enabled, returns the value displayed by this label.

If legacy Property toString mode is disabled, the string representation has no special meaning

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
The value displayed by this label or a string representation of this Label object.
See Also:
AbstractProperty#isLegacyToStringEnabled()

readDesign

public void readDesign(org.jsoup.nodes.Element design,
                       DesignContext designContext)
Description copied from interface: Component
Reads the component state from the given design.

The component is responsible not only for updating its own state but also for ensuring that its children update their state based on the design.

It is assumed that the component is in its default state when this method is called. Reading should only take into consideration attributes specified in the design and not reset any unspecified attributes to their defaults.

This method must not modify the design.

Specified by:
readDesign in interface Component
Overrides:
readDesign in class AbstractComponent
Parameters:
design - The element to obtain the state from
designContext - The DesignContext instance used for parsing the design

getCustomAttributes

protected java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getCustomAttributes()
Description copied from class: AbstractComponent
Returns a collection of attributes that should not be handled by the basic implementation of the readDesign and writeDesign methods. Typically these are handled in a custom way in the overridden versions of the above methods

Overrides:
getCustomAttributes in class AbstractComponent
Returns:
the collection of attributes that are not handled by the basic implementation

writeDesign

public void writeDesign(org.jsoup.nodes.Element design,
                        DesignContext designContext)
Description copied from interface: Component
Writes the component state to the given design.

The component is responsible not only for writing its own state but also for ensuring that its children write their state to the design.

This method must not modify the component state.

Specified by:
writeDesign in interface Component
Overrides:
writeDesign in class AbstractComponent
Parameters:
design - The element to write the component state to. Any previous attributes or child nodes are not cleared.
designContext - The DesignContext instance used for writing the design
