## Detailed Description

describes a controller which can be used to browse and modify properties of form controls.

The controller can be plugged into an com::sun::star::frame::XFrame, and will provide a visual component for inspecting control properties. This means it allows to interactively control several aspects of a FormControlModel or DataAwareControlModel, such as it's data binding, it's layout, and it's event binding

For using a PropertyBrowserController, you need to

- instantiate it at a service factory of your choice
- attach it to an empty frame of your choice
- set the IntrospectedObject property to the control model which you wish to analyze

XFrame xFrame = getNewEmptyFrame();
XMultiServiceFactory xORB = getORB();
XPropertySet xControlModel = getMyControlModel();
// instantiate the controller
XController xController = (XController)UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XController.class,
xORB.createInstance( "com.sun.star.form.PropertyBrowserController" ) );
// marry the controller and the frame. This will cause the controller
// to create a visual component within the frame to inspect our object
xController.attachFrame( xFrame )
// tell the controller which object to inspect
XPropertySet xControllerProps = (XPropertySet)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XPropertySet.class, xController );
xControllerProps.setPropertyValue( "IntrospectedObject", xControlModel );

Deprecated:

Note that nowadays, this service is only a legacy wrapper using the com::sun::star::inspection::ObjectInspector and the com::sun::star::form::inspection::DefaultFormComponentInspectorModel services, and knitting them together.

## Exported Interfaces

## § com::sun::star::beans::XFastPropertySet

interface com::sun::star::beans::XFastPropertySet

allows to access the properties via indices

## § com::sun::star::beans::XMultiPropertySet

interface com::sun::star::beans::XMultiPropertySet

allows to access more than one property of the object at the same time

## § com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet

interface com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet

allows to access the properties of the object

## § com::sun::star::frame::XController

interface com::sun::star::frame::XController

ensures the basic functionality for a controller.

With supporting this interface, the component is able to operate in (and provide content for) an com::sun::star::frame::XFrame.

## Member Data Documentation

## § CurrentPage

string CurrentPage
| property

controls the actually visible page.

The aspects of a DataAwareControlModel which can be browsed and modified using this controller can be separated into 3 groups: common aspects, data-awareness related aspects, and bound events.
The appearance of the visual component created by the controller is that 3 tab pages, one for each group, are displayed (of course if the control does not support any aspects of a given group, the group is omitted).
With this property, it can be controller which page is currently active.

Valid values are (this list may be extended in the future):

- Generic
- Data
- Events

## § IntrospectedObject

com::sun::star::beans::XPropertySet IntrospectedObject
| property

contains the object to inspect.

Changing this property from outside causes the controller to update its view with the data of the new object

The documentation for this service was generated from the following file:
