Class ScrollPaneLayout

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--javax.swing.ScrollPaneLayout
All Implemented Interfaces:
LayoutManager, ScrollPaneConstants, Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ScrollPaneLayout.UIResource

public class ScrollPaneLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager, ScrollPaneConstants, Serializable

The layout manager used by JScrollPane. JScrollPaneLayout is responsible for nine components: a viewport, two scrollbars, a row header, a column header, and four "corner" components.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Constructor Detail

ScrollPaneLayout

public ScrollPaneLayout()
Method Detail

syncWithScrollPane

public void syncWithScrollPane(JScrollPane sp)
This method must be called after setting a JScrollPanes layout manager. It initializes all of the internal fields that are ordinarily set by addLayoutComponent(). For example:
 ScrollPaneLayout mySPLayout = new ScrollPanelLayout() {
     public void layoutContainer(Container p) {
         super.layoutContainer(p);
         // do some extra work here ...
     }
 };
 scrollpane.setLayout(mySPLayout):
 mySPLayout.syncWithScrollPane(scrollpane);
 

addSingletonComponent

protected Component addSingletonComponent(Component oldC,
                                          Component newC)
The method used to remove an existing component. Since there can be one and only one left corner, vertical scrollbar, and so on. So only one of each subcomponent is allowed, the old one is removed (if it exists) when a new one is added.

This method returns newC. If oldC is not equal to newC and is non-null, it will be removed from its parent.

Parameters:
oldC - the Component to replace
newC - the Component to add
Returns:
the newC

public void addLayoutComponent(String s,
                               Component c)
Adds the specified component to the layout. The layout is identified using one of:
Specified by:
addLayoutComponent in interface LayoutManager
Parameters:
s - the component identifier
comp - the the component to be added

removeLayoutComponent

public void removeLayoutComponent(Component c)
Removes the specified component from the layout.
