  • getBeanDescriptor

    public BeanDescriptor getBeanDescriptor()

    Deny knowledge about the class and customizer of the bean. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit info.

    Specified by:

    getBeanDescriptor in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    A BeanDescriptor providing overall information about the bean, such as its displayName, its customizer, etc. May return null if the information should be obtained by automatic analysis.

  • getPropertyDescriptors

    public PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors()

    Deny knowledge of properties. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit property info.

    Specified by:

    getPropertyDescriptors in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    an array of PropertyDescriptors describing all properties supported by the bean or null

  • getDefaultPropertyIndex

    public int getDefaultPropertyIndex()

    Deny knowledge of a default property. You can override this if you wish to define a default property for the bean.

    Specified by:

    getDefaultPropertyIndex in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    Index of default property in the PropertyDescriptor array returned by getPropertyDescriptors.

    Returns -1 if there is no default property.

  • getEventSetDescriptors

    public EventSetDescriptor[] getEventSetDescriptors()

    Deny knowledge of event sets. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit event set info.

    Specified by:

    getEventSetDescriptors in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    An array of EventSetDescriptors describing the kinds of events fired by this bean. May return null if the information should be obtained by automatic analysis.

  • getDefaultEventIndex

    public int getDefaultEventIndex()

    Specified by:

    getDefaultEventIndex in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    Index of default event in the EventSetDescriptor array returned by getEventSetDescriptors.

    Returns -1 if there is no default event.

  • getMethodDescriptors

    public MethodDescriptor[] getMethodDescriptors()

    Deny knowledge of methods. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit method info.

    Specified by:

    Returns:

    An array of MethodDescriptors describing the externally visible methods supported by this bean. May return null if the information should be obtained by automatic analysis.

  • getAdditionalBeanInfo

    public BeanInfo[] getAdditionalBeanInfo()

    Claim there are no other relevant BeanInfo objects. You may override this if you want to (for example) return a BeanInfo for a base class.

    Specified by:

    getAdditionalBeanInfo in interface BeanInfo

    Returns:

    an array of BeanInfo objects. May return null.

  • getIcon

    public Image getIcon(int iconKind)

    Claim there are no icons available. You can override this if you want to provide icons for your bean.
