public abstract class AbstractComponentContainer
extends AbstractComponent
implements ComponentContainer

Extension to AbstractComponent that defines the default implementation for the methods in ComponentContainer. Basic UI components that need to contain other components inherit this class to easily qualify as a component container.

Constructor Detail

AbstractComponentContainer

public AbstractComponentContainer()

Constructs a new component container.

Method Detail

removeAllComponents

public void removeAllComponents()

Removes all components from the container. This should probably be reimplemented in extending classes for a more powerfull implementation.

Specified by:

removeAllComponents in interface ComponentContainer

moveComponentsFrom

public void moveComponentsFrom(ComponentContainer source)

Description copied from interface: ComponentContainer

Moves all components from an another container into this container. The components are removed from source.

Specified by:

moveComponentsFrom in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

source - the container which contains the components that are to be moved to this container.

attach

public void attach()

Notifies all contained components that the container is attached to a window.

Specified by:

attach in interface Component

Overrides:

attach in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

Component.attach()

detach

public void detach()

Notifies all contained components that the container is detached from a window.

Specified by:

detach in interface Component

Overrides:

detach in class AbstractComponent

See Also:

Component.detach()

addListener

public void addListener(ComponentContainer.ComponentAttachListener listener)

Description copied from interface: ComponentContainer

Listens the component attach events.

Specified by:

addListener in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

listener - the listener to add.

addListener

public void addListener(ComponentContainer.ComponentDetachListener listener)

Description copied from interface: ComponentContainer

Listens the component detach events.

Specified by:

addListener in interface ComponentContainer

removeListener

public void removeListener(ComponentContainer.ComponentAttachListener listener)

Description copied from interface: ComponentContainer

Stops the listening component attach events.

Specified by:

removeListener in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

listener - the listener to removed.

removeListener

public void removeListener(ComponentContainer.ComponentDetachListener listener)

Description copied from interface: ComponentContainer

Stops the listening component detach events.

Specified by:

removeListener in interface ComponentContainer

fireComponentAttachEvent

protected void fireComponentAttachEvent(Component component)

Fires the component attached event. This should be called by the addComponent methods after the component have been added to this container.

Parameters:

component - the component that has been added to this container.

fireComponentDetachEvent

protected void fireComponentDetachEvent(Component component)

Fires the component detached event. This should be called by the removeComponent methods after the component have been removed from this container.

Parameters:

component - the component that has been removed from this container.

addComponent

public void addComponent(Component c)

This only implements the events and component parent calls. The extending classes must implement component list maintenance and call this method after component list maintenance.

Specified by:

addComponent in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

c - the component to be added.

See Also:

ComponentContainer.addComponent(Component)

removeComponent

public void removeComponent(Component c)

This only implements the events and component parent calls. The extending classes must implement component list maintenance and call this method before component list maintenance.

Specified by:

removeComponent in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

c - the component to be added.

See Also:

ComponentContainer.removeComponent(Component)
