Class StaticCompositeTabDragger

java.lang.Object
  com.javadocking.drag.StaticCompositeTabDragger

All Implemented Interfaces:

Dragger

public class StaticCompositeTabDragger
extends java.lang.Object
implements Dragger

This is a class for dragging dockables in a CompositeTabDock. The dockables of one child dock can be dragged by dragging the tab. All the dockables of all the child docks can be dragged by dragging another part of the tabbed pane. A CompositeDockable is created with the dockables of the javax.swing.JTabbedPane.

The Docks that are used in the application should inherit from the java.awt.Component class.

With this class a tab of the javax.swing.JTabbedPane can also be dragged. This happens, when one tab is dragged, and the mouse is over the header of the JTabbedPane.
