/**
*
* A ComboBoxModel implementation that safely wraps an Enum. It allows the
* developer to directly use an enum as their model for a combobox without any
* extra work, though the display can can be further customized.
*
*
* Simple Usage
*
*
* The simplest usage is to wrap an enum
inside the
* EnumComboBoxModel
and then set it as the model on the combo
* box. The combo box will then appear on screen with each value in the
* enum
as a value in the combobox.
*
*
* ex:
*
*
*
* enum MyEnum { GoodStuff, BadStuff };
* ...
* JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();
* combo.setModel(new EnumComboBoxModel(MyEnum.class));
*
*
* Type safe access
*
* By using generics and co-variant types you can make accessing elements from
* the model be completely typesafe. ex:
*
*
*
* EnumComboBoxModel<MyEnum> enumModel = new EnumComboBoxModel<MyEnum1>(
* MyEnum1.class);
*
* MyEnum first = enumModel.getElement(0);
*
* MyEnum selected = enumModel.getSelectedItem();
*
*
* Advanced Usage
*
* Since the exact toString()
value of each enum constant may not
* be exactly what you want on screen (the values won't have spaces, for
* example) you can override to toString() method on the values when you declare
* your enum. Thus the display value is localized to the enum and not in your
* GUI code. ex:
*
*
* private enum MyEnum {GoodStuff, BadStuff;
* public String toString() {
* switch(this) {
* case GoodStuff: return "Some Good Stuff";
* case BadStuff: return "Some Bad Stuff";
* }
* return "ERROR";
* }
* };
*
*
* Note: if more than one enum constant returns the same {@code String} via
* {@code toString()}, this model will throw an exception on creation.
