Method Detail

setSelectAllOnFocus

public static void setSelectAllOnFocus(JTextComponent component,
                                       boolean isSelectingAllOnFocus)

Set whether a text component selects all of its text when it acquires the focus.

Parameters:

component - The component to set the select all status to.

isSelectingAllOnFocus - true if the text should be selected when focus is acquired, false otherwise.

isSelectingAllOnFocus

public static boolean isSelectingAllOnFocus(JTextComponent textComponent)

Indicate whether a text component selects all its text when it receives the focus.

Parameters:

textComponent - The text component for which to get the select all state.

Returns:

true if the text component selects all its text when gaining focus, false otherwise.

adjustToolbarButtonFocus

public static void adjustToolbarButtonFocus(AbstractButton toolBarButton)

With certain look and feels, namely windows with XP style, the focus of a toolbar button is already indicated (border changes) and the focus indicator should not be drawn: this fixes the visual rendering.

Parameters:

toolBarButton - the tool bar button for which to adjust the focus state.

setAutoScrollEnabled

public static void setAutoScrollEnabled(JComponent component,
                                        boolean isEnabled)

Set whether the auto-scroll feature is enabled. Auto-scoll is triggered when the user clicks with the middle mouse button and the component is a scroll pane or has a scroll pane ancestor.
Note that clicking on a descendant component activates the auto-scroll feature only if it has not registered a mouse listener. Otherwise, you need to activate auto scroll on these components as well.

Parameters:

component - The component for which to enable or disable the feature.

isEnabled - true if the feature is to be enabled, false otherwise.

Auto fit the column of a table.

Parameters:

table - the table for which to auto fit the columns.
