Disabled: no SafeJ information.

A generic Abstract Window Toolkit(AWT) container object is a component that can contain other AWT components.

Components added to a container are tracked in a list. The order of the list will define the components' front-to-back stacking order within the container. If no index is specified when adding a component to a container, it will be added to the end of the list (and hence to the bottom of the stacking order).

Note: For details on the focus subsystem, see How to Use the Focus Subsystem, a section in The Java Tutorial, and the Focus Specification for more information.

Constructor Detail

Container

public Container()
Class is disabled.

Constructs a new Container. Containers can be extended directly, but are lightweight in this case and must be contained by a parent somewhere higher up in the component tree that is native. (such as Frame for example).

Method Detail

getComponentCount

public int getComponentCount()
Class is disabled.

Gets the number of components in this panel.

Note: This method should be called under AWT tree lock.

Returns:
the number of components in this panel.
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
getComponent(int), Component.getTreeLock()

countComponents

@Deprecated
public int countComponents()
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getComponentCount().

Class is disabled.

getComponent

public Component getComponent(int n)
Class is disabled.

Gets the nth component in this container.

Note: This method should be called under AWT tree lock.

Parameters:
n - the index of the component to get.
Returns:
the nth component in this container.
Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the nth value does not exist.
See Also:
Component.getTreeLock()

getComponents

public Component[] getComponents()
Class is disabled.

Gets all the components in this container.

Note: This method should be called under AWT tree lock.

Returns:
an array of all the components in this container.
See Also:
Component.getTreeLock()

getInsets

public Insets getInsets()
Class is disabled.

Determines the insets of this container, which indicate the size of the container's border.

A Frame object, for example, has a top inset that corresponds to the height of the frame's title bar.

Returns:
the insets of this container.
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
Insets, LayoutManager

insets

@Deprecated
public Insets insets()
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getInsets().

Class is disabled.

add

public Component add(Component comp)
Class is disabled.

Appends the specified component to the end of this container. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
Returns:
the component argument
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
See Also:
addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), invalidate(), validate(), JComponent.revalidate()

add

public Component add(String name,
                     Component comp)
Class is disabled.

Adds the specified component to this container. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method is obsolete as of 1.1. Please use the method add(Component, Object) instead.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
See Also:
add(Component, Object), invalidate()

add

public Component add(Component comp,
                     int index)
Class is disabled.

Adds the specified component to this container at the given position. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
index - the position at which to insert the component, or -1 to append the component to the end
Returns:
the component comp
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
IllegalArgumentException - if index is invalid (see addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int) for details)
See Also:
addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), remove(int), invalidate(), validate(), JComponent.revalidate()

setComponentZOrder

public void setComponentZOrder(Component comp,
                               int index)
Class is disabled.

Moves the specified component to the specified z-order index in the container. The z-order determines the order that components are painted; the component with the highest z-order paints first and the component with the lowest z-order paints last. Where components overlap, the component with the lower z-order paints over the component with the higher z-order.

If the component is a child of some other container, it is removed from that container before being added to this container. The important difference between this method and java.awt.Container.add(Component, int) is that this method doesn't call removeNotify on the component while removing it from its previous container unless necessary and when allowed by the underlying native windowing system. This way, if the component has the keyboard focus, it maintains the focus when moved to the new position.

This property is guaranteed to apply only to lightweight non-Container components.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

Note: Not all platforms support changing the z-order of heavyweight components from one container into another without the call to removeNotify. There is no way to detect whether a platform supports this, so developers shouldn't make any assumptions.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be moved
index - the position in the container's list to insert the component, where getComponentCount() appends to the end
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
IllegalArgumentException - if comp is one of the container's parents
IllegalArgumentException - if index is not in the range [0, getComponentCount()] for moving between containers, or not in the range [0, getComponentCount()-1] for moving inside a container
IllegalArgumentException - if adding a container to itself
IllegalArgumentException - if adding a Window to a container
Since:
1.5
See Also:
getComponentZOrder(java.awt.Component), invalidate()

getComponentZOrder

public int getComponentZOrder(Component comp)
Class is disabled.

Returns the z-order index of the component inside the container. The higher a component is in the z-order hierarchy, the lower its index. The component with the lowest z-order index is painted last, above all other child components.

Parameters:
comp - the component being queried
Returns:
the z-order index of the component; otherwise returns -1 if the component is null or doesn't belong to the container
Since:
1.5
See Also:
setComponentZOrder(java.awt.Component, int)

add

public void add(Component comp,
                Object constraints)
Class is disabled.

Adds the specified component to the end of this container. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this component
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), invalidate(), validate(), JComponent.revalidate(), LayoutManager

add

public void add(Component comp,
                Object constraints,
                int index)
Class is disabled.

Adds the specified component to this container with the specified constraints at the specified index. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to the this container's layout using the specified constraints object. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this
index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component; -1 means insert at the end component
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp is null
IllegalArgumentException - if index is invalid (see addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int) for details)
See Also:
addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), invalidate(), validate(), JComponent.revalidate(), remove(int), LayoutManager

addImpl

protected void addImpl(Component comp,
                       Object constraints,
                       int index)
Class is disabled.

Adds the specified component to this container at the specified index. This method also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object via the addLayoutComponent method.

The constraints are defined by the particular layout manager being used. For example, the BorderLayout class defines five constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH, BorderLayout.SOUTH, BorderLayout.EAST, BorderLayout.WEST, and BorderLayout.CENTER.

The GridBagLayout class requires a GridBagConstraints object. Failure to pass the correct type of constraints object results in an IllegalArgumentException.

If the current layout manager implements LayoutManager2, then LayoutManager2.addLayoutComponent(Component,Object) is invoked on it. If the current layout manager does not implement LayoutManager2, and constraints is a String, then LayoutManager.addLayoutComponent(String,Component) is invoked on it.

If the component is not an ancestor of this container and has a non-null parent, it is removed from its current parent before it is added to this container.

This is the method to override if a program needs to track every add request to a container as all other add methods defer to this one. An overriding method should usually include a call to the superclass's version of the method:

super.addImpl(comp, constraints, index)

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
constraints - an object expressing layout constraints for this component
index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component, where -1 means append to the end
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if index is invalid; if comp is a child of this container, the valid range is [-1, getComponentCount()-1]; if component is not a child of this container, the valid range is [-1, getComponentCount()]
IllegalArgumentException - if comp is an ancestor of this container
IllegalArgumentException - if adding a window to a container
NullPointerException - if comp is null
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
add(Component), add(Component, int), add(Component, java.lang.Object), invalidate(), LayoutManager, LayoutManager2

remove

public void remove(int index)
Class is disabled.

Removes the component, specified by index, from this container. This method also notifies the layout manager to remove the component from this container's layout via the removeLayoutComponent method.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to reflect the changes.

Parameters:
index - the index of the component to be removed
Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is not in range [0, getComponentCount()-1]
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
add(java.awt.Component), invalidate(), validate(), getComponentCount()

remove

public void remove(Component comp)
Class is disabled.

Removes the specified component from this container. This method also notifies the layout manager to remove the component from this container's layout via the removeLayoutComponent method.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to reflect the changes.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be removed
See Also:
add(java.awt.Component), invalidate(), validate(), remove(int)

removeAll

public void removeAll()
Class is disabled.

Removes all the components from this container. This method also notifies the layout manager to remove the components from this container's layout via the removeLayoutComponent method.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to reflect the changes.

See Also:
add(java.awt.Component), remove(int), invalidate()

getLayout

public LayoutManager getLayout()
Class is disabled.

Gets the layout manager for this container.

See Also:
doLayout(), setLayout(java.awt.LayoutManager)

setLayout

public void setLayout(LayoutManager mgr)
Class is disabled.

Sets the layout manager for this container.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

Parameters:
mgr - the specified layout manager
See Also:
doLayout(), getLayout(), invalidate()

doLayout

public void doLayout()
Class is disabled.

Causes this container to lay out its components. Most programs should not call this method directly, but should invoke the validate method instead.

Overrides:
doLayout in class Component
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
LayoutManager.layoutContainer(java.awt.Container), setLayout(java.awt.LayoutManager), validate()

layout

@Deprecated
public void layout()
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by doLayout().

Class is disabled.

Overrides:
layout in class Component

isValidateRoot

public boolean isValidateRoot()
Class is disabled.

Indicates if this container is a validate root.

Layout-related changes, such as bounds of the validate root descendants, do not affect the layout of the validate root parent. This peculiarity enables the invalidate() method to stop invalidating the component hierarchy when the method encounters a validate root.

If a component hierarchy contains validate roots, the validate() method must be invoked on the validate root of a previously invalidated component, rather than on the top-level container (such as a Frame object) to restore the validity of the hierarchy later.

The Window class and the Applet class are the validate roots in AWT. Swing introduces more validate roots.

Returns:
whether this container is a validate root
Since:
1.7
See Also:
invalidate(), Component.invalidate(), JComponent.isValidateRoot(), JComponent.revalidate()

invalidate

public void invalidate()
Class is disabled.

Invalidates the container.

If the LayoutManager installed on this container is an instance of the LayoutManager2 interface, then the LayoutManager2.invalidateLayout(Container) method is invoked on it supplying this Container as the argument.

Afterwards this method marks this container invalid, and invalidates its ancestors. See the Component.invalidate() method for more details.

Overrides:
invalidate in class Component
See Also:
validate(), layout(), LayoutManager2

validate

public void validate()
Class is disabled.

Validates this container and all of its subcomponents.

Validating a container means laying out its subcomponents. Layout-related changes, such as setting the bounds of a component, or adding a component to the container, invalidate the container automatically. Note that the ancestors of the container may be invalidated also (see Component.invalidate() for details.) Therefore, to restore the validity of the hierarchy, the validate() method should be invoked on a validate root of an invalidated component, or on the top-most container if the hierarchy does not contain validate roots.

Validating the container may be a quite time-consuming operation. For performance reasons a developer may postpone the validation of the hierarchy till a set of layout-related operations completes, e.g. after adding all the children to the container.

If this Container is not valid, this method invokes the validateTree method and marks this Container as valid. Otherwise, no action is performed.

Overrides:
validate in class Component
See Also:
add(java.awt.Component), invalidate(), isValidateRoot(), JComponent.revalidate(), validateTree()

validateTree

protected void validateTree()
Class is disabled.

Recursively descends the container tree and recomputes the layout for any subtrees marked as needing it (those marked as invalid). Synchronization should be provided by the method that calls this one: validate.

See Also:
doLayout(), validate()

setFont

public void setFont(Font f)
Class is disabled.

Sets the font of this container.

This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

Overrides:
setFont in class Component
Parameters:
f - The font to become this container's font.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
Component.getFont(), invalidate()

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize()
Class is disabled.

Returns the preferred size of this container. If the preferred size has not been set explicitly by Component.setPreferredSize(Dimension) and this Container has a non-null LayoutManager, then LayoutManager.preferredLayoutSize(Container) is used to calculate the preferred size.

Note: some implementations may cache the value returned from the LayoutManager. Implementations that cache need not invoke preferredLayoutSize on the LayoutManager every time this method is invoked, rather the LayoutManager will only be queried after the Container becomes invalid.

Overrides:
getPreferredSize in class Component
Returns:
an instance of Dimension that represents the preferred size of this container.
See Also:
getMinimumSize(), getMaximumSize(), getLayout(), LayoutManager.preferredLayoutSize(Container), Component.getPreferredSize()

preferredSize

@Deprecated
public Dimension preferredSize()
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getPreferredSize().

Class is disabled.

Overrides:
preferredSize in class Component

getMinimumSize

public Dimension getMinimumSize()
Class is disabled.

Returns the minimum size of this container. If the minimum size has not been set explicitly by Component.setMinimumSize(Dimension) and this Container has a non-null LayoutManager, then LayoutManager.minimumLayoutSize(Container) is used to calculate the minimum size.

Note: some implementations may cache the value returned from the LayoutManager. Implementations that cache need not invoke minimumLayoutSize on the LayoutManager every time this method is invoked, rather the LayoutManager will only be queried after the Container becomes invalid.

Overrides:
getMinimumSize in class Component
Returns:
an instance of Dimension that represents the minimum size of this container.
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
getPreferredSize(), getMaximumSize(), getLayout(), LayoutManager.minimumLayoutSize(Container), Component.getMinimumSize()

Class is disabled.

Returns the maximum size of this container. If the maximum size has not been set explicitly by Component.setMaximumSize(Dimension) and the LayoutManager installed on this Container is an instance of LayoutManager2, then LayoutManager2.maximumLayoutSize(Container) is used to calculate the maximum size.

Note: some implementations may cache the value returned from the LayoutManager2. Implementations that cache need not invoke maximumLayoutSize on the LayoutManager2 every time this method is invoked, rather the LayoutManager2 will only be queried after the Container becomes invalid.

Overrides:
getMaximumSize in class Component
Returns:
an instance of Dimension that represents the maximum size of this container.

getPreferredSize(), getMinimumSize(), getLayout(), LayoutManager2.maximumLayoutSize(Container), Component.getMaximumSize()

getAlignmentX

public float getAlignmentX()
Class is disabled.

Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

Overrides:
getAlignmentX in class Component

getAlignmentY

public float getAlignmentY()
Class is disabled.

Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

Overrides:
getAlignmentY in class Component

paint

public void paint(Graphics g)
Class is disabled.

Paints the container. This forwards the paint to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.paint(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, paint() will not be forwarded to that child.

Overrides:
paint in class Component
Parameters:
g - the specified Graphics window
See Also:
Component.update(Graphics)

update

public void update(Graphics g)
Class is disabled.

Updates the container. This forwards the update to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.update(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, update() will not be forwarded to that child.

Overrides:
update in class Component
Parameters:
g - the specified Graphics window
See Also:
Component.update(Graphics)

print

public void print(Graphics g)
Class is disabled.

Prints the container. This forwards the print to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.print(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, print() will not be forwarded to that child.

Overrides:
print in class Component
Parameters:
g - the specified Graphics window

getListeners

public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType)
Class is disabled.

Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this Container. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.

You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a Container c for its container listeners with the following code: 

ContainerListener[] cls = (ContainerListener[])(c.getListeners(ContainerListener.class));
If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.

Overrides:
getListeners in class Component
Parameters:

Since:
1.3
See Also:
getContainerListeners()

processEvent

protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
Class is disabled.

Processes events on this container. If the event is a ContainerEvent, it invokes the processContainerEvent method, else it invokes its superclass's processEvent.

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Overrides:

getComponentAt

public Component getComponentAt(int x,
                                int y)
Class is disabled.

Locates the component that contains the x,y position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. This is determined by finding the component closest to the index 0 that claims to contain the given point via Component.contains(), except that Components which have native peers take precedence over those which do not (i.e., lightweight Components).

Overrides:
getComponentAt in class Component
Parameters:
x - the x coordinate
y - the y coordinate
Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned; otherwise the top-most child is returned.
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
Component.contains(int, int)

locate

@Deprecated
public Component locate(int x,
                                   int y)
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getComponentAt(int, int).

Class is disabled.

Overrides:
locate in class Component

getComponentAt

public Component getComponentAt(Point p)
Class is disabled.

Gets the component that contains the specified point.

Overrides:
getComponentAt in class Component
Parameters:
p - the point.
Returns:
returns the component that contains the point, or null if the component does not contain the point.

getMousePosition

public Point getMousePosition(boolean allowChildren)
                       throws HeadlessException
Class is disabled.

Returns the position of the mouse pointer in this Container's coordinate space if the Container is under the mouse pointer, otherwise returns null. This method is similar to Component.getMousePosition() with the exception that it can take the Container's children into account. If allowChildren is false, this method will return a non-null value only if the mouse pointer is above the Container directly, not above the part obscured by children. If allowChildren is true, this method returns a non-null value if the mouse pointer is above Container or any of its descendants.

Parameters:
allowChildren - true if children should be taken into account
Returns:
mouse coordinates relative to this Component, or null
Throws:
HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true
Since:
1.5

Component.getMousePosition()

findComponentAt

public Component findComponentAt(int x,
                                 int y)
Class is disabled.

Locates the visible child component that contains the specified position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. If the containing child component is a Container, this method will continue searching for the deepest nested child component. Components which are not visible are ignored during the search.

The findComponentAt method is different from getComponentAt in that getComponentAt only searches the Container's immediate children; if the containing component is a Container, findComponentAt will search that child to find a nested component.

Parameters:
x - the x coordinate
y - the y coordinate
Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned.
Since:
1.2
See Also:
Component.contains(int, int), getComponentAt(int, int)

findComponentAt

public Component findComponentAt(Point p)
Class is disabled.

Locates the visible child component that contains the specified point. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. If the containing child component is a Container, this method will continue searching for the deepest nested child component. Components which are not visible are ignored during the search.

The findComponentAt method is different from getComponentAt in that getComponentAt only searches the Container's immediate children; if the containing component is a Container, findComponentAt will search that child to find a nested component.

Parameters:
p - the point.
Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned.

Component.contains(int, int), getComponentAt(int, int)

addNotify

public void addNotify()
Class is disabled.

Makes this Container displayable by connecting it to a native screen resource. Making a container displayable will cause all of its children to be made displayable. This method is called internally by the toolkit and should not be called directly by programs.

Overrides:

See Also:
Component.isDisplayable(), removeNotify()

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()

setFocusTraversalKeys

public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id,
                                  Set<? extends AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)
Class is disabled.

Sets the focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Container.

The default values for a Container's focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.

Identifier Meaning Default
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal forward keyboard traversal TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal reverse keyboard traversal SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go up one focus traversal cycle none
KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go down one focus traversal cycle none
To disable a traversal key, use an empty Set; Collections.EMPTY_SET is recommended.

Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Container. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.

If a value of null is specified for the Set, this Container inherits the Set from its parent. If all ancestors of this Container have null specified for the Set, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is used.

Overrides:
setFocusTraversalKeys in class Component
Parameters:
id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
keystrokes - the Set of AWTKeyStroke for the specified operation
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or if keystrokes contains null, or if any Object in keystrokes is not an AWTKeyStroke, or if any keystroke represents a KEY_TYPED event, or if any keystroke already maps to another focus traversal operation for this Container

getFocusTraversalKeys

public Set<AWTKeyStroke> getFocusTraversalKeys(int id)
Class is disabled.

Returns the Set of focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Container. (See setFocusTraversalKeys for a full description of each key.)

If a Set of traversal keys has not been explicitly defined for this Container, then this Container's parent's Set is returned. If no Set has been explicitly defined for any of this Container's ancestors, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is returned.

Overrides:
getFocusTraversalKeys in class Component
Parameters:
id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
Returns:
the Set of AWTKeyStrokes for the specified operation. The Set will be unmodifiable, and may be empty. null will never be returned.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

areFocusTraversalKeysSet

public boolean areFocusTraversalKeysSet(int id)
Class is disabled.

Returns whether the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Container. If this method returns false, this Container is inheriting the Set from an ancestor, or from the current KeyboardFocusManager.

Overrides:
areFocusTraversalKeysSet in class Component
Parameters:
id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
Returns:
true if the the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component; false otherwise.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
Since:
1.4

isFocusCycleRoot

public boolean isFocusCycleRoot(Container container)
Class is disabled.

Returns whether the specified Container is the focus cycle root of this Container's focus traversal cycle. Each focus traversal cycle has only a single focus cycle root and each Container which is not a focus cycle root belongs to only a single focus traversal cycle. Containers which are focus cycle roots belong to two cycles: one rooted at the Container itself, and one rooted at the Container's nearest focus-cycle-root ancestor. This method will return true for both such Containers in this case.

Overrides:
isFocusCycleRoot in class Component
Parameters:
container - the Container to be tested
Returns:
true if the specified Container is a focus-cycle- root of this Container; false otherwise
Since:
1.4
See Also:
isFocusCycleRoot()

setFocusTraversalPolicy

public void setFocusTraversalPolicy(FocusTraversalPolicy policy)
Class is disabled.

Sets the focus traversal policy that will manage keyboard traversal of this Container's children, if this Container is a focus cycle root. If the argument is null, this Container inherits its policy from its focus- cycle-root ancestor. If the argument is non-null, this policy will be inherited by all focus-cycle-root children that have no keyboard- traversal policy of their own (as will, recursively, their focus-cycle- root children).

If this Container is not a focus cycle root, the policy will be remembered, but will not be used or inherited by this or any other Containers until this Container is made a focus cycle root.

Parameters:
policy - the new focus traversal policy for this Container
Since:
1.4
See Also:
getFocusTraversalPolicy(), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), isFocusCycleRoot(java.awt.Container)

getFocusTraversalPolicy

public FocusTraversalPolicy getFocusTraversalPolicy()
Class is disabled.

Returns the focus traversal policy that will manage keyboard traversal of this Container's children, or null if this Container is not a focus cycle root. If no traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container, then this Container's focus-cycle-root ancestor's policy is returned.

Returns:
this Container's focus traversal policy, or null if this Container is not a focus cycle root.
Since:
1.4
See Also:
setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), isFocusCycleRoot(java.awt.Container)

isFocusTraversalPolicySet

public boolean isFocusTraversalPolicySet()
Class is disabled.

Returns whether the focus traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container. If this method returns false, this Container will inherit its focus traversal policy from an ancestor.

Returns:
true if the focus traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container; false otherwise.
Since:
1.4

setFocusCycleRoot

public void setFocusCycleRoot(boolean focusCycleRoot)
Class is disabled.

Sets whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle. Once focus enters a traversal cycle, typically it cannot leave it via focus traversal unless one of the up- or down-cycle keys is pressed. Normal traversal is limited to this Container, and all of this Container's descendants that are not descendants of inferior focus cycle roots. Note that a FocusTraversalPolicy may bend these restrictions, however. For example, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy supports implicit down-cycle traversal.

The alternative way to specify the traversal order of this Container's children is to make this Container a focus traversal policy provider.

Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - indicates whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle
Since:
1.4
See Also:
isFocusCycleRoot(), setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy, setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean)

isFocusCycleRoot

public boolean isFocusCycleRoot()
Class is disabled.

Returns whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle. Once focus enters a traversal cycle, typically it cannot leave it via focus traversal unless one of the up- or down-cycle keys is pressed. Normal traversal is limited to this Container, and all of this Container's descendants that are not descendants of inferior focus cycle roots. Note that a FocusTraversalPolicy may bend these restrictions, however. For example, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy supports implicit down-cycle traversal.

setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider

public final void setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean provider)
Class is disabled.

Sets whether this container will be used to provide focus traversal policy. Container with this property as true will be used to acquire focus traversal policy instead of closest focus cycle root ancestor.

Parameters:
provider - indicates whether this container will be used to provide focus traversal policy
Since:
1.5
See Also:
setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), isFocusTraversalPolicyProvider()

isFocusTraversalPolicyProvider

public final boolean isFocusTraversalPolicyProvider()
Class is disabled.

Returns whether this container provides focus traversal policy. If this property is set to true then when keyboard focus manager searches container hierarchy for focus traversal policy and encounters this container before any other container with this property as true or focus cycle roots then its focus traversal policy will be used instead of focus cycle root's policy.

Returns:
true if this container provides focus traversal policy, false otherwise
Since:
1.5
See Also:
setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean)

transferFocusDownCycle

public void transferFocusDownCycle()
Class is disabled.

Transfers the focus down one focus traversal cycle. If this Container is a focus cycle root, then the focus owner is set to this Container's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is set to this Container. If this Container is not a focus cycle root, then no focus traversal operation occurs.

Since:
1.4
