QView

public class QView extends JPanel implements Observer
The View/Controller for ONE QUESTION in the TestEdit program. This is normally used in e.g., a TabPanel, to show one question. It would be lower overhead, but not true MVC, to have one of these and just load its contents when the question number changes.

Methods Summary
public voidupdate(java.util.Observable q, java.lang.Object change)
update is called from the model when its data changes.

		QChangeEvent ch = (QChangeEvent)change;
		switch(ch.getID()) {
		case QChangeEvent.CHANGE_QUESTION_TEXT:
			quesText.setText(ch.getText());
			break;
		case QChangeEvent.CHANGE_ANSWER_NUMBER:
			cb[ch.getAnsNumber()].setSelected(true);
			break;
		case QChangeEvent.CHANGE_ANSWER_TEXT  :
			tf[ch.getAnsNumber()].setText(ch.getText());
			break;
		default:
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("QVIEW.update: " + change);
