Constructor Detail

BasicTextFieldUI

public BasicTextFieldUI()
Creates a new BasicTextFieldUI.

Method Detail

createUI

public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c)
Creates a UI for a JTextField.

Parameters:
c - the text field
Returns:
the UI

installUI

public void installUI(JComponent c)
Description copied from class: BasicTextUI
Installs the UI for a component. This does the following things.
  1. Set the associated component to opaque (can be changed easily by a subclass or on JTextComponent directly), which is the most common case. This will cause the component's background color to be painted.
  2. Install the default caret and highlighter into the associated component.
  3. Attach to the editor and model. If there is no model, a default one is created.
  4. create the view factory and the view hierarchy used to represent the model.

Overrides:
installUI in class BasicTextUI
Parameters:
c - the editor component
See Also:
ComponentUI.installUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

propertyChange

protected void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)
This method gets called when a bound property is changed on the associated JTextComponent. This is a hook which UI implementations may change to reflect how the UI displays bound properties of JTextComponent subclasses.

Overrides:
propertyChange in class BasicTextUI
Parameters:
evt - the property change event

getPropertyPrefix

protected String getPropertyPrefix()
Fetches the name used as a key to lookup properties through the UIManager. This is used as a prefix to all the standard text properties.

Specified by:
getPropertyPrefix in class BasicTextUI
Returns:
the name ("TextField")

create

public View create(Element elem)
Creates a view (FieldView) based on an element.

Specified by:
create in interface ViewFactory
Overrides:
create in class BasicTextUI
Parameters:
elem - the element
Returns:
the view
