AttributesForm is Java Bean component for manipulating modeled Windchill business objects, such as Parts, Documents, etc. It contains methods to specify the class of the object being manipulated and the attributes to be displayed. A label and edit/view may be specified for each attribute. The AttributesForm dynamically constructs a user interface based on the contained class and the specified information about the attributes. Boolean attributes are represented as checkboxes, Enumerated types as choice lists, string and integer values are shown in text fields. The following attribute types are currently supported:

1. int
2. short
3. long
4. float
5. double
6. boolean
7. java.lang.Integer
8. java.lang.Double
9. java.lang.Float
10. java.lang.Boolean
11. java.lang.String
12. java.sql.Timestamp
13. java.sql.Date
14. java.util.Date
15. wt.fc.EnumeratedType
16. wt.vc.views.ViewReference
17. wt.team.TeamTemplateReference
18. wt.lifecycle.LifeCycleState
19. wt.org.WTPrincipalReference
20. wt.part.Quantity

Additional attribute types can be supported by the AttributesForm bean by creating an appropriate wt.clients.beans.selectors.ComponentDelegate for an attribute type and placing an entry in the service.properties file in the section for use by the wt.clients.beans.selectors.ComponentDelegateFactory . The bean uses Windchill Introspection mechanisms to determine if an attribute is required. If the attribute is required, the label will contain a leading asterisk(*), or other suitable localized character. The bean uses Windchill Introspection mechanisms to determine the maximum length of String attributes. By default, string attributes with a maximum length of more than 80 characters are displayed in TextAreas, while strings 80 characters or less are displayed in TextFields. The transition point value of 80 characters may be overridden by specifying another value for the "MaxTextFieldLength" property for the bean. The bean will also use Windchill Introspection mechanisms to obtain a display value to use as the label for property. The following code demonstrates a possible use of this class:

            Frame f = new Frame("AttributesPanel test");

            AttributesForm attributeBean = new AttributesForm();
            f.setSize(700,600);
            f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

       try
       {
                 attributeBean.setObjectClassName("wt.part.WTPart");
           {
                        java.lang.String[] tempString = new java.lang.String[4];
                        tempString[0] = new java.lang.String("number");
                        tempString[1] = new java.lang.String("name");
                        tempString[2] = new java.lang.String("source");
                        tempString[3] = new java.lang.String("partType");
                        attributeBean.setAttributes(tempString);
                    }
          {
                        java.lang.String[] tempString = new java.lang.String[4];

                        tempString[0] = "true";
                        tempString[1] = "true";
                        tempString[2] = "true";
                        tempString[3] = "true";
                    attributeBean.setEdits(tempString);
           }

       }
       catch ( WTPropertyVetoException wte)
       {
            wte.printStackTrace();
       }

            f.add("Center",attributeBean);
            f.pack();
            f.show();
      wt.part.WTPart part = wt.part.WTPart.newWTPart();
      attributeBean.setObject(part);
