The DataObject property editor should have a help button.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Optimally, I think this should be solved for all property editors by adding a hint to the top level (like "title"). This hint could be handled as follows: - if the helpID is supplied as a hint and there is no help registered already for the innerPane to the DialogDescriptor constructor, use that in the PropertyDialogManager's creation of the DialogDescriptor. - if no helpID hint is supplied, use the old behavior (if the innerPane has one, it will be used, otherwise there will be no help button) - if both are supplied --> ask on nbui what the behavior should be Anyway, barring the optimal solution in the interest of time, I've created a patch which allows supplying help for this editor only.
Created attachment 4057 [details] Proposed patch - please add description to docs if applied.
Patch applied DataObjectEditor 1.4.12.3. (release33 branch).
The generic solution has been filed as an enhancement in issue 19294.
DataObject property editor haven't Help button in [nb_dev](20020208) on [jdk1.4](92)
Did you try supplying the helpID hint? I think this does work. The hint probably needs to be documented.
Marian, this one is fixed. 19294 is request for a general solution allowing for any property editor to have a help button.
Ok, thanks for clarify, verified in [nb_3.3.1]
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
