Interface ComponentConverter

All Known Implementing Classes:: ComponentConverter.Fixed

public interface ComponentConverter

A class which can provide a component corresponding to a TabData object. While TabData.getComponent can provide a Component via its getComponent() method, there are use cases where the tabbed container should contain a single component, and the data model should be used to control it (the tabbed form of NetBeans' property sheet is one example).

A ComponentConvertor can be plugged into an instance of TabbedContainer to enable it to display, for example, the same component for all tabs, which a listener on its selection model will reconfigure for the selected tab; or it can be used for lazy initialization, to construct components on demand.
