Interface IContour

All Known Implementing Classes:

Contour

public interface IContour

A Contour is a lightweight component which only paints the outline of component when dragged. It is also used as a placeholder for some information during dragging.

Usually Contour is added to JLayeredPane of a RootPaneContainer so that it looks like floating above other windows.

Notes: this class has to be public so that JIDE can use it in different packages, not meant to release to end user as a public API. JIDE will not guarantee the class will remain as it is.

getTabHeight

int getTabHeight()

setTabHeight

void setTabHeight(int tabHeight)

Sets the tab height.

Parameters:

tabHeight -

isTabDocking

boolean isTabDocking()

Returns true if the contour is in tab-dock mode.

Returns:

true if tab-docking; false otherwise

setTabDocking

void setTabDocking(boolean tabDocking)

Sets the tab-docking mode.

Parameters:

tabDocking - new mode

getTabSide

int getTabSide()

Gets the side of the tab.

Returns:

the side of the tab

setTabSide

void setTabSide(int tabSide)

Sets the side of the tab.

Parameters:

tabSide -

isFloating

boolean isFloating()

Returns true if the contour is in floating mode.

Returns:

true if floating; false otherwise

setFloating

void setFloating(boolean floating)

Sets the floating mode.

Parameters:

floating - new mode

getAttachedComponent

java.awt.Component getAttachedComponent()

Gets the attached component of this contour.

Returns:

the attached component

setAttachedComponent

void setAttachedComponent(java.awt.Component attachedComponent)

Sets the attached components.

Parameters:

attachedComponent - attached component to be set

getAttachedSide

int getAttachedSide()

Gets the side of the attached component which the contour is attached to.

Returns:

side the attached side

setAttachedSide

void setAttachedSide(int attachedSide)

Sets the side of the attached component which the contour is attached to.

Parameters:

attachedSide - the new attached side to be set

isSingle

boolean isSingle()

When you dragged a component, several other components could be dragged. For example, if user drags on title bar of FrameContainer, all components in the FrameContainer are considered as dragged. If user drags on tab, only selected one is dragged.

Returns:

true if all dragged components are affected; false otherwise.

setSingle

void setSingle(boolean single)

Sets the value of single.

Parameters:

single - true if all dragged components are affected; false otherwise.

isAllowDocking

boolean isAllowDocking()

Checks if docking is allowed.

Returns:

true if docking is allowed; false otherwise.

setAllowDocking

void setAllowDocking(boolean allowDocking)

Sets the value of docking.

Parameters:

allowDocking - true if docking is allowed; false otherwise.

getRelativeContainer

java.awt.Container getRelativeContainer()

setRelativeContainer

void setRelativeContainer(java.awt.Container relativeContainer)

getSaveX

int getSaveX()

Gets saved X position of contour before it's hidden.

Returns:

saved X position

getSaveY

int getSaveY()

Gets saved Y position of contour before it's hidden.

Returns:

saved Y position

getSaveMouseModifier

int getSaveMouseModifier()

Gets saved mouse modifier before the contour is hidden.

Returns:

saved mouse modifier

getSaveDraggedComponent

javax.swing.JComponent getSaveDraggedComponent()

Gets saved dragged component before the contour is hidden.

Returns:

void setDraggingInformation(javax.swing.JComponent comp,
                            int saveX,
                            int saveY,
                            int saveMouseModifier)

Stores information before the contour is hidden. Those information will be used to restore when the contour is set visible again.

Parameters:

comp - the dragged component

saveX - X position of the contour

saveY - Y position of the contour

saveMouseModifier - mouse modifier in the MouseEvent

cleanup

void cleanup()

setVisible

Makes the component visible or invisible. Overrides Component.setVisible.

Parameters:

aFlag - true to make the component visible; false to make it invisible

isVisible

boolean isVisible()

Determines whether this component should be visible when its parent is visible. Components are initially visible, with the exception of top level components such as Frame objects.

Returns:

true if the component is visible, false otherwise
