Class ManagedSettingsPane<T>

java.lang.Object
pamViewFX.fxNodes.pamDialogFX.ManagedSettingsPane<T>
Type Parameters:
T -
Direct Known Subclasses:
ToadManagedSettingsPane
public abstract class ManagedSettingsPane<T> extends Object
Wrapper around a SettingsPane to provide simpler functionality for including panes from one part of PAMGuard in another part. With a SettingsPane, whatever uses that SettingsPane needs to have a way of putting parameters into it and using them when they come back out, which can be hard to implement if the dialog using the pane really knows nothing about it. With a ManagedSettingsPane all of the work is done within this one object, which will have to implement methods to get and store the data.
