Enclosing class:
Box

public static class Box.Filler
extends JComponent
implements Accessible

An implementation of a lightweight component that participates in layout but has no view.

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. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Field Detail

accessibleContext

protected AccessibleContext accessibleContext
The currently set AccessibleContext object.

Constructor Detail

Box.Filler

public Box.Filler(Dimension min,
                  Dimension pref,
                  Dimension max)
Constructor to create shape with the given size ranges.

Parameters:
min - Minimum size
pref - Preferred size
max - Maximum size
Method Detail

changeShape

public void changeShape(Dimension min,
                        Dimension pref,
                        Dimension max)
Change the size requests for this shape. An invalidate() is propagated upward as a result so that layout will eventually happen with using the new sizes.

Parameters:
min - Value to return for getMinimumSize
pref - Value to return for getPreferredSize
max - Value to return for getMaximumSize

getMinimumSize

public Dimension getMinimumSize()
Returns the minimum size of the component.

Overrides:
getMinimumSize in class JComponent
Returns:
the size
See Also:
JComponent.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize()
Returns the preferred size of the component.

Overrides:
getPreferredSize in class JComponent
Returns:
the size
See Also:
JComponent.setPreferredSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

getMaximumSize

public Dimension getMaximumSize()
Returns the maximum size of the component.

Overrides:
getMaximumSize in class JComponent
Returns:
the size
See Also:
JComponent.setMaximumSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Box.Filler. For box fillers, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleBoxFiller. A new AccessibleAWTBoxFiller instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:
getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
Overrides:
getAccessibleContext in class JComponent
Returns:
an AccessibleBoxFiller that serves as the AccessibleContext of this Box.Filler.
