Description Marian Mirilovic 2001-12-19 10:51:36 UTC
[nb_release33](20011219)
There is a wrong mapping of Help:
- for Table model property invoke Property Editor and there push "Help"
- > help with title "Finding Information About the IDE" will be shown

I don't know about help for Table model (maybe Help button had not be shown.
Comment 1 Marian Mirilovic 2001-12-19 10:58:18 UTC
- the same for Font Property Editor
Comment 2 Patrick Keegan 2002-01-03 13:37:39 UTC
Reassigning to Brenda for the Font editor part. I'm not sure what to 
do about the TableModel editor. Where is this found? Is this something 
used by database modules?
Comment 3 Patrick Keegan 2002-07-03 19:58:47 UTC
This has been fixed by removing the help buttons from the prop editors (since prop editors for components 
are largely outside the scope  of the current help).

F1 still brings up the topic mentioned, which is "correct" (in that it goes to the Finding Info About the 
IDE page since there is no explicit help for the topic).
Comment 4 Patrick Keegan 2002-07-03 20:05:29 UTC
marking as fixed
Comment 5 Marian Mirilovic 2002-07-24 12:40:47 UTC
Font Editor works fine in [nb_release34_rc1](20020724), but table
model property editor still contains button help and help page title
is "Finding Information About the IDE".

location of Table model editor :
org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.CustomTableModelEditor 

cc'ing ales (owner of property editor subcomponent)
Comment 6 Patrick Keegan 2002-07-24 15:44:09 UTC
changing target milestone to 4.0

Cindy, could you decide whether you think it is appropriate (or high 
enough priority) for there to be a help topic associated with this 
dialog? If so, create the topic and map the help ID (whatever it is) 
to the topic. 

Marian: my original question (about where the table model editor is 
found) was not answered. If we decide to remove the help button, who 
do we assign the task to?
Comment 7 Marian Mirilovic 2002-07-24 15:59:36 UTC
Patrik:
I wrote above that Table Model Editor sources are in the package 
org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.CustomTableModelEditor 

and responsible is Ales Kemr or Tomas Pavek I am not sure, Alesi ?
Comment 8 akemr 2002-07-25 07:44:52 UTC
If you decide to remove help, please reassign issue to me.
Comment 9 Cynthia Castillo 2002-08-01 18:35:10 UTC
I just checked nb_release34_rc1(20020724) and didn't see a help 
button in the Table model editor. F1 still brings up the Finding Info
About the IDE page, which is the correct page to display.

Marian, are we looking at the same editor?
I chose the model property of a jTable and hit the ... button. The
model property editor window appears with select mode as
TableModelEditor. I don't see a Help button there.

Please try attached testBean.jar, steps to reproduce:
- mount testBean.jar 
- invoke popup menu on bean on the path 
	<testBean.jar> | PropertyEditors | PropertyEditorsTestBean
- push from that Customize Bean
- invoke custom property editor for property "p_tableModel"
-> you will see Table Model Editor with Help button

Cynthia:
It seems like you are using Table Model editor , but encapsulated in
Form Customizer - it means it isn't "native' Table Model Property
Editor

Jar with bean - contains table model property
Comment 12 Patrick Keegan 2003-02-20 21:34:11 UTC
Taking the issue, since Cindy doesn't work on Form Ed or beans. 

Marian, I tried the JAR you attached, but the p_tableModel property 
has a "value" of <no property editor>
Comment 13 Patrick Keegan 2004-02-23 17:35:20 UTC
will look at after 3.6
Comment 14 Patrick Keegan 2004-08-13 12:11:50 UTC
I'm closing this as the Customize Bean action isn't a big part of the
UI (I can't find it at all, actually) in 4.0, so the user  probably
won't run across this

Marian, feel free to reopen if you can find a test case for 4.0
Comment 15 Marian Mirilovic 2004-08-13 12:27:46 UTC
Ok, verified .. .there is no way to invoke Table Model Property editor
outside Form customizer ;)
