Interface DifferentMultiDataDisplayValue

All Known Implementing Classes:
ComboboxItem, DualListBox
public interface DifferentMultiDataDisplayValue

This interface specifies components with multiple values. Data values and displayed values differ from each other. Such a component is a multi-value ComboboxItem or DualListBox.

Values taken by the component upon the selection of one or more elements are called data values. This data value is saved to the database if the the component is allowed to modify data.

Values displayed to the user as elements are called displayed values. This value is displayed only on the interface and neither does it affect the database value, nor the component value.

The interface implements two methods: getDisplayValues() and getOriginalDisplayValues(). Both methods return the component’s displayed values. The former method returns the display values of the currently selected ones. The latter method returns the displayed values of the original values.
