Class MapBinder

java.lang.Object
  se.datadosen.util.MapBinder

public class MapBinder
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class for synchronizing a Swing GUI with a Map object. Synchronization is performed when calling getMap() and syncUI(). Matching is done where the name of a map key corresponds to the name of a GUI element. Currently handles JText components, JCheckBox, JComboBox and JColorSelector
This is a successor to PropertyBinder that keeps the datatypes of component values instead of converting all to strings like PropertyBinder does Copyright (c) 2003, David Ekholm Datadosen
