public abstract class EnumControl extends Control
AnEnumControlprovides control over a set of discrete possible values, each represented by an object. In a graphical user interface, such a control might be represented by a set of buttons, each of which chooses one value or setting. For example, a reverb control might provide several preset reverberation settings, instead of providing continuously adjustable parameters of the sort that would be represented byFloatControlobjects.Controls that provide a choice between only two settings can often be implemented instead as a
BooleanControl, and controls that provide a set of values along some quantifiable dimension might be implemented instead as aFloatControlwith a coarse resolution. However, a key feature ofEnumControlis that the returned values are arbitrary objects, rather than numerical or boolean values. This means that each returned object can provide further information. As an example, the settings of aREVERBcontrol are instances ofReverbTypethat can be queried for the parameter values used for each setting.- Since:

EnumControl
protected EnumControl(EnumControl.Type type, Object[] values, Object value)
Constructs a new enumerated control object with the given parameters.- Parameters:
type- the type of control represented this enumerated control objectvalues- the set of possible values for the controlvalue- the initial control value
-

Method Detail
-
setValue
public void setValue(Object value)
Sets the current value for the control. The default implementation simply sets the value as indicated. If the value indicated is not supported, anIllegalArgumentExceptionis thrown. Some controls require that their line be open before they can be affected by setting a value.- Parameters:
value- the desired new value- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if the value indicated does not fall within the allowable range
-
getValue
public Object getValue()
Obtains this control's current value.- Returns:
- the current value
-
getValues
public Object[] getValues()
Returns the set of possible values for this control.- Returns:
- the set of possible values
