Thanks. I'd prefer a custom checkbox class with converter. I just created a
test class as below but not working. Appreciate any pointers.
I did not find an example to follow.
public class CheckBoxYN extends CheckBox{
public CheckBoxYN(String id){
super(id);
}
@Override
public final IConverter getConverter(Class arg0){
IConverter icYN = new IConverter(){
public Object convertToObject(String arg0, Locale arg1) {
if (arg0.equals("true")){
return 'Y';
}else{
return 'N';
}
}
public String convertToString(Object arg0, Locale arg1) {
if(arg0.toString().equals('Y')){
return "true";
}else{
return "false";
}
}
};
return icYN;
}
}
