| CategoryDescriptor | | public class CategoryDescriptor extends FeatureDescriptor (Code) | | A CategoryDescriptor describes a category for a property. A PropertyDescriptor may include a
CategoryDescriptor using the named attribute: Constants.PropertyDescriptor.CATEGORY, or literally
"category". Properties will be displayed on the property sheet grouped with their associated
category. Use java.beans.PropertyDescriptor.setValue(Constants.PropertyDescriptor.CATEGORY,
someCatDesc) to associate a category with a particular property.
You can also specify the desired display order of categories on the property sheet by
providing an array of CategoryDescriptors in the BeanDescriptor. Use
java.beans.BeanDescriptor.setValue(Constants.BeanDescriptor.PROPERTY_CATEGORIES,
new CategoryDescriptor[] { ... }); to specify the order.
