setBooleanValue() missing in BooleanFieldEditor ? [message #289618]

Hello !

I use field editors in my preferences pages and I want to use a
BooleanFieldEditor. How could I set the value of a BooleanFieldEditor ?

As there is a getBooleanValue() method, I was expecting a
setBooleanValue() method. Am I completly wrong or is this feature missing ?

Thanks !

Vincent

That's because the BooleanFieldEditor is a FieldEditor, and FieldEditors
expect to work with PreferenceStores. It gets/sets the values through
the preference store, not outside of it.

The name of the preference is set through the BooleanFieldEditor's
constructor and the preference store is set by the
FieldEditorPreferencePage.

Then why is there a setString() method in StringFieldEditor?

That's apparently a mistake. None of the other field editors allow that.
