Class Overview

DateFormatter is an InternationalFormatter that does its formatting by way of an instance of java.text.DateFormat.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class javax.swing.text.InternationalFormatter Object clone() Creates a copy of the DefaultFormatter. Action[] getActions() If getSupportsIncrement returns true, this returns two Actions suitable for incrementing/decrementing the value. Field[] getFields(int offset) Returns the Format.Field constants associated with the text at offset. Format getFormat() Returns the format that dictates the legal values that can be edited and displayed. Comparable getMaximum() Returns the maximum permissible value. Comparable getMinimum() Returns the minimum permissible value. void install(JFormattedTextField ftf) Installs the DefaultFormatter onto a particular JFormattedTextField. void setFormat(Format format) Sets the format that dictates the legal values that can be edited and displayed. void setMaximum(Comparable max) Sets the maximum permissible value. void setMinimum(Comparable minimum) Sets the minimum permissible value. Object stringToValue(String text) Returns the Object representation of the String text. String valueToString(Object value) Returns a String representation of the Object value.
From class javax.swing.text.DefaultFormatter Object clone() Creates a copy of the DefaultFormatter. boolean getAllowsInvalid() Returns whether or not the value being edited is allowed to be invalid for a length of time. boolean getCommitsOnValidEdit() Returns when edits are published back to the JFormattedTextField. DocumentFilter getDocumentFilter() Returns the DocumentFilter used to restrict the characters that can be input into the JFormattedTextField. NavigationFilter getNavigationFilter() Returns the NavigationFilter used to restrict where the cursor can be placed. boolean getOverwriteMode() Returns the behavior when inserting characters. Class<?> getValueClass() Returns that class that is used to create new Objects. void install(JFormattedTextField ftf) Installs the DefaultFormatter onto a particular JFormattedTextField. void setAllowsInvalid(boolean allowsInvalid) Sets whether or not the value being edited is allowed to be invalid for a length of time (that is, stringToValue throws a ParseException). void setCommitsOnValidEdit(boolean commit) Sets when edits are published back to the JFormattedTextField. void setOverwriteMode(boolean overwriteMode) Configures the behavior when inserting characters. void setValueClass(Class<?> valueClass) Sets that class that is used to create new Objects. Object stringToValue(String string) Converts the passed in String into an instance of getValueClass by way of the constructor that takes a String argument. String valueToString(Object value) Converts the passed in Object into a String by way of the toString method.
From class javax.swing.JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter Object clone() Clones the AbstractFormatter. Action[] getActions() Subclass and override if you wish to provide a custom set of Actions. DocumentFilter getDocumentFilter() Subclass and override if you wish to provide a DocumentFilter to restrict what can be input. JFormattedTextField getFormattedTextField() Returns the current JFormattedTextField the AbstractFormatter is installed on. NavigationFilter getNavigationFilter() Subclass and override if you wish to provide a filter to restrict where the user can navigate to. void install(JFormattedTextField ftf) Installs the AbstractFormatter onto a particular JFormattedTextField. void invalidEdit() This should be invoked when the user types an invalid character. void setEditValid(boolean valid) Invoke this to update the editValid property of the JFormattedTextField. abstract Object stringToValue(String text) Parses text returning an arbitrary Object. void uninstall() Uninstalls any state the AbstractFormatter may have installed on the JFormattedTextField. abstract String valueToString(Object value) Returns the string value to display for value.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
