describes a controller which can be used to browse and modify properties of form controls.
The controller can be plugged into an ::com::sun::star::frame::XFrame, and will
provide a visual component for inspecting control properties. This means it allows to interactively control
several aspects of a FormControlModel or DataAwareControlModel, such as it's
data binding, it's layout, and it's event binding
For using a PropertyBrowserController, you need to
instatiate it at a service factory of your choice
attach it to an empty frame of your choice
set the IntrospectedObject property to the control model which you wish to analyze
Example
Java
XFrame xFrame = getNewEmptyFrame();
XMultiServiceFactory xORB = getORB();
XPropertySet xControlModel = getMyControlModel();
// instantiate the controller
XController xController = (XController)UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XController.class,
xORB.createInstance( "com.sun.star.form.PropertyBrowserController" ) );
// marry the controller and the frame. This will cause the controller
// to create a visual component within the frame to inspect our object
xController.attachFrame( xFrame )
// tell the controller which object to inspect
XPropertySet xControllerProps = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XPropertySet.class, xController );
xControllerProps.setPropertyValue( "IntrospectedObject", xControlModel );
The aspects of a DataAwareControlModel which can be browsed and modified
using this controller can be separated into 3 groups: common aspects, data-awareness
related aspects, and bound events.
The appearance of the visual component created by the controller is that 3 tab pages, one for
each group, are displayed (of course if the control does not support any aspects of a given group,
the group is omitted).
With this property, it can be controller which page is currently acticve.
