    • „The SelectionInList uses three ValueModels to hold the list, the selection and selection index and provides bound bean properties for these models. You can access, observe and replace these ValueModels. This is useful to connect a SelectionInList with other ValueModels; for example you can use the SelectionInList's selection holder as bean channel for a PresentationModel. Since the SelectionInList is a ValueModel, it is often used as bean channel. See the Binding tutorial classes for examples on how to connect a SelectionInList with a PresentationModel.“

Usage notes

Beans and peas are sometimes misidentified with one another; they are both legumes (belong to the family Fabaceae) and seeds. Bean was later extended to other seeds belonging to the New World genus Phaseolus (runner beans, lima beans etc.). Some other non-Fabaceae plants (coffee, cocoa, vanilla, soy, ...) are also referred to as beans because of their resemblance to ordinary beans.

Peas are a type of bean with smaller, round seeds in the pod, in contrast to oval or kidney-shaped seeds usually referred to as beans. Because both terms are applied to a wide range of different legumes the distinction is not always clear: garbanzo bean is a synonym of chickpea.
