Class DetachedTextEditor

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor
      uk.ac.ic.doc.automed.editor.TextEditor
          uk.ac.ic.doc.automed.editor.DetachedTextEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.swing.CellEditor, javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor

public class DetachedTextEditor
extends TextEditor

Another editor class for displaying table's cell value. Unlike TextEditor which inserts the editor control into the selected cell, this editor class displays a separate dialog box on the screen at the location of the cell. The advantage of this approach is the ability to customise the display text area's dimenssions

This class implements method getTableCellRendererComponent() of the TableCellRenderer interface in order to return a text area for cell's text display
