Re: [platform-ui-dev] new jface field editors (IntegerWithBooleanFieldEditor)
|
What about StringWithBooleanFieldEditor, ColorWithBooleanFieldEditor,
etc.?
The combination of a BooleanFieldEditor and another FieldEditor should be
implemented by composition, not by subclassing.
Some help with simple dependency management could be useful, but it would
need further investigation to tell whether this is best implemented in
BooleanFieldEditor, in FieldEditorPreferencePage, or in a new class.
