Hello,
David J. Orme - the XSWT lead - writes:
A long-awaited (by me) XSWT feature landed in CVS today. There are several new convenience create() methods for XSWT that return an interface rather than a Map. This is easier to explain than to describe. For example, given the XSWT code:
<label text="Host name:"/>
<text x:id="HostName" x:style="BORDER"/>
<label text="Port number:"/>
<text x:id="HostPort" x:style="BORDER"/>We can define an interface that describes this layout as follows:
public interface ISelectServerPane {
public Text getHostName(); // Define getters corresponding
to
the
public Text getHostPort(); // x:id attributes we care
about
}Now (with CVS changes from today) XSWT lets me write the following Java code:
pane = (ISelectServerPane) XSWT.createl(holder,
"selectServerPane.xswt", getClass(),
ISelectServerPane.class); pane.getHostPort().addVerifyListener(myVerifyListener);
pane.getHostName().setText("localhost");Look Ma, no ugly typecasts when I use the "pane" variable any more! Everything is now typesafe!

Dave Orme
