JLayer is a universal decorator for Swing components which enables you to implement various advanced painting effects as well as receive notifications of all AWTEvents generated within its borders.

JLayer delegates the handling of painting and input events to a LayerUI object, which performs the actual decoration.

The custom painting implemented in the LayerUI and events notification work for the JLayer itself and all its subcomponents. This combination enables you to enrich existing components by adding new advanced functionality such as temporary locking of a hierarchy, data tips for compound components, enhanced mouse scrolling etc and so on.

JLayer is a good solution if you only need to do custom painting over compound component or catch input events from its subcomponents.

     private static JLayer<JComponent> createLayer() {

             public void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c) {

Note: JLayer doesn't support the following methods:

• Container.add(java.awt.Component)
• Container.add(String, java.awt.Component)
• Container.add(java.awt.Component, int)
• Container.add(java.awt.Component, Object)
• Container.add(java.awt.Component, Object, int)

using any of of them will cause UnsupportedOperationException to be thrown, to add a component to JLayer use setView(Component) or setGlassPane(JPanel).

Since:

1.7

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.

Overrides:

removeAll in class Container

See Also:

Container.add(java.awt.Component), Container.remove(int), Container.invalidate()

Overrides:

paintComponent in class JComponent

Parameters:

g - the Graphics object to protect

See Also:

JComponent.paint(java.awt.Graphics), ComponentUI

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled

public boolean isOptimizedDrawingEnabled()

Class is disabled.

To enable the correct painting of the glassPane and view component, the JLayer overrides the default implementation of this method to return false when the glassPane is visible.

Overrides:

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled in class JComponent

Returns:

false if JLayer's glassPane is visible

propertyChange

public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)

Class is disabled.

This method gets called when a bound property is changed.

Specified by:

propertyChange in interface PropertyChangeListener

Parameters:

evt - A PropertyChangeEvent object describing the event source and the property that has changed.

setLayerEventMask

public void setLayerEventMask(long layerEventMask)

Class is disabled.

Sets the bitmask of event types to receive by this JLayer. Here is the list of the supported event types:

• AWTEvent.COMPONENT_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.CONTAINER_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.FOCUS_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.MOUSE_MOTION_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.INPUT_METHOD_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.HIERARCHY_EVENT_MASK
• AWTEvent.HIERARCHY_BOUNDS_EVENT_MASK

If LayerUI is installed, LayerUI.eventDispatched(AWTEvent, JLayer) method will only receive events that match the event mask.

The following example shows how to correclty use this method in the LayerUI implementations:

    public void installUI(JComponent c) {
       super.installUI(c);
       JLayer l = (JLayer) c;
       // this LayerUI will receive only key and focus events
       l.setLayerEventMask(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK | AWTEvent.FOCUS_EVENT_MASK);
    }

    public void uninstallUI(JComponent c) {
       super.uninstallUI(c);
       JLayer l = (JLayer) c;
       // JLayer must be returned to its initial state
       l.setLayerEventMask(0);
    }
 

By default JLayer receives no events.

Parameters:

layerEventMask - the bitmask of event types to receive

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the layerEventMask parameter contains unsupported event types

See Also:

getLayerEventMask()

getLayerEventMask

public long getLayerEventMask()

By default JLayer receives no events.

Returns:

the bitmask of event types to receive for this JLayer

updateUI

public void updateUI()

Class is disabled.

Returns:

the preferred size of the viewport for a view component

See Also:

Scrollable, LayerUI.getPreferredScrollableViewportSize(JLayer)

Class is disabled.

Returns a scroll increment, which is required for components that display logical rows or columns in order to completely expose one block of rows or columns, depending on the value of orientation.

If the ui delegate of this layer is not null, this method delegates its implementation to the LayerUI.getScrollableBlockIncrement(JLayer,Rectangle,int,int)

Specified by:

getScrollableBlockIncrement in interface Scrollable

Parameters:

visibleRect - The view area visible within the viewport

orientation - Either SwingConstants.VERTICAL or SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL.

See Also:

Scrollable, LayerUI.getScrollableBlockIncrement(JLayer, Rectangle, int, int)

getScrollableTracksViewportHeight

public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportHeight()

Class is disabled.

Returns false to indicate that the height of the viewport does not determine the height of the layer, unless the preferred height of the layer is smaller than the height of the viewport.

If the ui delegate of this layer is not null, this method delegates its implementation to the LayerUI.getScrollableTracksViewportHeight(JLayer)

Specified by:

getScrollableTracksViewportHeight in interface Scrollable

                                      int orientation,
                                      int direction)

Class is disabled.

Returns a scroll increment, which is required for components that display logical rows or columns in order to completely expose one new row or column, depending on the value of orientation. Ideally, components should handle a partially exposed row or column by returning the distance required to completely expose the item.

Scrolling containers, like JScrollPane, will use this method each time the user requests a unit scroll.

If the ui delegate of this layer is not null, this method delegates its implementation to the LayerUI.getScrollableUnitIncrement(JLayer,Rectangle,int,int)
