oracle.forms.jdapi.PropertyMap

public class PropertyMap
extends java.lang.Object

Method Detail

getFormattedPropertyName

static java.lang.String getFormattedPropertyName(int ptid)

Returns a InitCaps unique property name for a given property id. Eg. ScrollBarWidth, ConsoleWindow etc.
Used by JdapiMetaProperty for getPropertyName()

Parameters:

ptid - the property id to look up

Returns:

the property name

getFormattedPropertyId

static int getFormattedPropertyId(java.lang.String name)

Reverse look up of method getFormattedPropertyName. Takes the InitCap property name as a String and returns you the property id.
Used by JdapiMetaProperty for getPropertyId(String name)

Parameters:

name - the property name to look up.

Returns:

the property id.

getAllowedValues

static int[] getAllowedValues(int ptid)

Returns an array of the allowed values for a given property id. If the property has no allowed values (ie. can be any value) this returns null. This is only valid for Integer properties, String, Boolean and Object properties will always return null.

Parameters:

ptid - the property id to look up

Returns:

the allowed property values

getPropertyTypes

public static java.lang.Class[] getPropertyTypes(JdapiObject obj,
                                                 int propertyTypeId)

Gets the classes that may implement an object for the specified property. This is done in respect to an object, as the same property can return different types based on the object it is a property of.

Parameters:

obj - Object on which this property you want to know about

propertyTypeId - X_PTID property ID

Returns:

Array of Class objects that this property could return, of null if none.

getPropertyTypes

public static java.lang.Class[] getPropertyTypes(java.lang.Class objClass,
                                                 int propertyTypeId)
