Interface ISystemValidator

All Superinterfaces:

ICellEditorValidator, IInputValidator

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface ISystemValidator

extends IInputValidator, ICellEditorValidator

Our validators need to support querying max length, for generic rename dialogs. They also need to support getting the message not only as a string, which isValid returns, but also as a SystemMessage, which getSystemMessage() does if isValid returns non-null.

Method Summary

int	getMaximumNameLength() Return the max length for this name, or -1 if no max
SystemMessage	getSystemMessage() If isValid returns non-null and you desire a full bodied SystemMessage versus a string, call this method after isValid to get the full bodied SystemMessage.
SystemMessage	validate(String text) For convenience, this is a shortcut to calling: if (isValid(text) !
