Comments

• If you prefer to let the user edit the container's contents by selecting items from another container, invoke the Move Items Between Containers - GUI hook.
• The SingleTableFormSheet is based on a table that displays the contents of the data container. If you need to build your own FormSheets for data management classes, see package data.swing .
• There are default table layouts for each type of data container. If you want to know which, see the JavaDoc of the appropriate create method.

  If you need a different table layout invoke the Define New Table Layout hook.
