Enclosing class:

Box

public static class Box.Filler

extends Component

implements Accessible

An implementation of a lightweight component that participates in layout but has no view.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Field Detail

accessibleContext

protected AccessibleContext accessibleContext

The currently set AccessibleContext object.

Constructor Detail

Box.Filler

public Box.Filler(Dimension min,
                  Dimension pref,
                  Dimension max)

Constructor to create shape with the given size ranges.

Parameters:

min - Minimum size

pref - Preferred size

max - Maximum size

Method Detail

changeShape

public void changeShape(Dimension min,
                        Dimension pref,
                        Dimension max)

Change the size requests for this shape. An invalidate() is propagated upward as a result so that layout will eventually happen with using the new sizes.

Parameters:

min - Value to return for getMinimumSize

pref - Value to return for getPreferredSize

max - Value to return for getMaximumSize

getMinimumSize

public Dimension getMinimumSize()

Returns the minimum size of the component.

Overrides:

getMinimumSize in class Component

Returns:

the size

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize()

Returns the preferred size of the component.

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class Component

Returns:

the size

getMaximumSize

public Dimension getMaximumSize()

Returns the maximum size of the component.

Overrides:

getMaximumSize in class Component

Returns:

the size

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Box.Filler. For box fillers, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleBoxFiller. A new AccessibleAWTBoxFiller instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible

Overrides:

getAccessibleContext in class Component

Returns:

an AccessibleBoxFiller that serves as the AccessibleContext of this Box.Filler.
