Enum ValidationStrategy

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ValidationStrategy>

org.netbeans.validation.api.ui.ValidationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ValidationStrategy>

public enum ValidationStrategy
extends java.lang.Enum<ValidationStrategy>

Determines what event on the component will trigger running validation. For example, if validation of a text component's content involves expensive calculation which could slow down the UI, you may want to use ON_FOCUS_LOSS; however ON_CHANGE_OR_ACTION (reacting every time a key is typed) provides more satisfactory user experience.

Method Detail

values

public static ValidationStrategy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ValidationStrategy c : ValidationStrategy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ValidationStrategy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
