Including the Bean in an Application

To include the Display Preferences Editor Bean in your application, you first need to create the panel:

IlvJDisplayPreferencesEditorPanel prefsPanel = new IlvJDisplayPreferencesEditorPanel();

Set the current preference properties of the view in the Bean:

prefsPanel.setDisplayPreferences(IlvDisplayPreferencesProperty.GetDisplayPreferences(view.getManager()));

Then, you can add a listener on the Bean that changes the view preferences when the user changes a preference:

prefsPanel.addDisplayPreferencesChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
  public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
    IlvDisplayPreferences system = (IlvDisplayPreferences) e.getNewValue();
    view.getManager().setNamedProperty(new IlvDisplayPreferencesProperty(system));
  }
});

Adding the Bean to a Swing Hierarchy

You can then add this Bean to your Swing hierarchy.

panel.add(prefsPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
