install

public void install(JFormattedTextField textField)
Installs this formatter on the specified JFormattedTextField. This converts the current value to a displayable String and displays it, and installs formatter specific Actions from getActions. It also installs a DocumentFilter and NavigationFilter on the JFormattedTextField.

If there is a ParseException this sets the text to an empty String and marks the text field in an invalid state.

Parameters:
textField - the JFormattedTextField on which to install this formatter

invalidEdit

protected void invalidEdit()
Invoke this method when invalid values are entered. This forwards the call to the JFormattedTextField.

This method updates the editValid property of JFormattedTextField.
Parameters:
valid - the new state for the editValid property

stringToValue

public abstract Object stringToValue(String text)
            throws ParseException
Parses text to return a corresponding Object.
Parameters:
text - the String to parse
Returns:
an Object that text represented
Throws:
ParseException - if there is an error in the conversion

uninstall

public void uninstall()
Clears the state installed on the JFormattedTextField by the formatter. This resets the DocumentFilter, NavigationFilter, and any additional Actions (returned by getActions()).

valueToString
