| == How do I display different groups of properties on buttons in the property sheet the way Matisse does? |
| |
| This is only really useful if you have a *lot* of properties - and having lots of properties is usually not a great idea, as the user has to search for the things they want to change. |
| |
| Nonetheless, if you want to group different sets of properties on different buttons, it is quite simple. `Node.PropertySet` extends `java.beans.FeatureDescriptor`. It inherits the methods `putValue (key, value)` and `getValue(key, value)` which allow you to add ad-hoc key/value pairs to any `PropertySet`. What you do is pass a String with the text that should be on the button, assigned to the key "tabName": |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| |
| somePropertySet.putValue ("tabName", NbBundle.getMessage (getClass(), "KEY_Something")); |
| ---- |
| |
| (the above code gets you a localized string - you can also pass a hard-coded one if you are sure your UI will never need to be translated). |
| |
| All `PropertySet`s that have the same value will be included under the same button/tab in the property sheet. |
