Constructor Detail

ExplicitContainer

public ExplicitContainer()

Create a new ExplicitContainer.

Method Detail

getComponent

public javax.swing.JPanel getComponent()

Description copied from class: Widget

Get the java.awt.Component corresponding to this Widget.

Overrides:

getComponent in class Widget

getChildCount

public int getChildCount()

Get the number of children in this container.

Specified by:

getChildCount in class WidgetContainer

getChild

public Widget getChild(int i)

Get the i'th child of this container.

getChildren

public java.util.Collection<Widget> getChildren()

Get a Collection containing all child Widgets of this container.

Specified by:

getChildren in class WidgetContainer

layoutChildren

public void layoutChildren()

Layout the child Widgets. This may be invoked whenever something has changed (the size of this WidgetContainer, the preferred size of one of its children, etc.) that causes the layout to no longer be correct. If a child is itself a WidgetContainer, its layoutChildren() method will be called in turn.

Specified by:

layoutChildren in class WidgetContainer

add

public void add(Widget widget,
                java.awt.Rectangle bounds)

Add a Widget to this container.

Parameters:

widget - the Widget to add

bounds - the location and size at which the Widget should appear

getChildIndex

public int getChildIndex(Widget widget)

Get the index of a particular Widget.

Parameters:

widget - the Widget to locate

Returns:

the index of the Widget within this container

getChildBounds

public java.awt.Rectangle getChildBounds(int index)

Get the position of a child Widget within this container.

Parameters:

index - the index of the Widget for which to get the location

Returns:

the bounding rectangle to be used for the Widget

setChildBounds

public void setChildBounds(int index,
                           java.awt.Rectangle bounds)

Set the position of a child Widget within this container.

Parameters:

index - the index of the Widget to move

bounds - the location and size at which the Widget should appear

getChildBounds

public java.awt.Rectangle getChildBounds(Widget widget)

Get the position of a child Widget within this container.

Parameters:

widget - the Widget for which to get the location

Returns:

the bounding rectangle to be used for the Widget, or null if it is not a child of this container

setChildBounds

public void setChildBounds(Widget widget,
                           java.awt.Rectangle bounds)

Set the position of a child Widget within this container.

Parameters:

widget - the Widget to move

bounds - the location and size at which the Widget should appear

remove

public void remove(Widget widget)

Remove a child Widget from this container.

Specified by:

removeAll

public void removeAll()

Remove all child Widgets from this container.

Specified by:

getMinimumSize

public java.awt.Dimension getMinimumSize()

Get the smallest size at which this Widget can reasonably be drawn. When a WidgetContainer lays out its contents, it will attempt never to make this Widget smaller than its minimum size.

Overrides:

getMinimumSize in class Widget

getPreferredSize

public java.awt.Dimension getPreferredSize()

Get the preferred size at which this Widget will look best. When a WidgetContainer lays out its contents, it will attempt to make this Widget as close as possible to its preferred size.

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class Widget
