Method Detail

updateUI

void updateUI()

setBorder

void setBorder(Border border)

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface IComponent

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Specified by:

removePropertyChangeListener in interface IComponent

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(String property,
                               PropertyChangeListener listener)

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface IComponent

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(String property,
                                  PropertyChangeListener listener)

Specified by:

removePropertyChangeListener in interface IComponent

getComponentPopupMenu

JPopupMenu getComponentPopupMenu()

getClientProperty

Object getClientProperty(Object key)

Returns the value of the property with the specified key. Only properties added with putClientProperty will return a non-null value.

Parameters:

key - the being queried

Returns:

the value of this property or null

See Also:

putClientProperty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

putClientProperty

void putClientProperty(Object key,
                       Object value)

Adds an arbitrary key/value "client property" to this component.

The get/putClientProperty methods provide access to a small per-instance hashtable. Callers can use get/putClientProperty to annotate components that were created by another module. For example, a layout manager might store per child constraints this way. For example:

 componentA.putClientProperty("to the left of", componentB);
 

If value is null this method will remove the property. Changes to client properties are reported with PropertyChange events. The name of the property (for the sake of PropertyChange events) is key.toString().

The clientProperty dictionary is not intended to support large scale extensions to JComponent nor should be it considered an alternative to subclassing when designing a new component.

Parameters:

key - the new client property key

value - the new client property value; if null this method will remove the property

setTransferHandler

void setTransferHandler(TransferHandler newHandler)
