public class BasicComboBoxUI

extends ComboBoxUI

Basic UI implementation for JComboBox.

The combo box is a compound component which means that it is an agregate of many simpler components. This class creates and manages the listeners on the combo box and the combo box model. These listeners update the user interface in response to changes in the properties and state of the combo box.

All event handling is handled by listener classes created with the createxxxListener() methods and internal classes. You can change the behavior of this class by overriding the createxxxListener() methods and supplying your own event listeners or subclassing from the ones supplied in this class.

For adding specific actions, overide installKeyboardActions to add actions in response to KeyStroke bindings. See the article Keyboard Bindings in Swing at The Swing Connection.

Constructor Detail

BasicComboBoxUI

public BasicComboBoxUI()

Method Detail

createUI

public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c)

Description copied from class: ComponentUI

Returns an instance of the UI delegate for the specified component. Each subclass must provide its own static createUI method that returns an instance of that UI delegate subclass. If the UI delegate subclass is stateless, it may return an instance that is shared by multiple components. If the UI delegate is stateful, then it should return a new instance per component. The default implementation of this method throws an error, as it should never be invoked.

installUI

public void installUI(JComponent c)

Description copied from class: ComponentUI

Configures the specified component appropriate for the look and feel. This method is invoked when the ComponentUI instance is being installed as the UI delegate on the specified component. This method should completely configure the component for the look and feel, including the following:

1. Install any default property values for color, fonts, borders, icons, opacity, etc. on the component. Whenever possible, property values initialized by the client program should not be overridden.
2. Install a LayoutManager on the component if necessary.
3. Create/add any required sub-components to the component.
4. Create/install event listeners on the component.
5. Create/install a PropertyChangeListener on the component in order to detect and respond to component property changes appropriately.
6. Install keyboard UI (mnemonics, traversal, etc.) on the component.
7. Initialize any appropriate instance data.

Overrides:

installUI in class ComponentUI

Parameters:

c - the component where this UI delegate is being installed

See Also:

ComponentUI.uninstallUI(javax.swing.JComponent), JComponent.setUI(javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI), JComponent.updateUI()

uninstallUI

public void uninstallUI(JComponent c)

Description copied from class: ComponentUI

Reverses configuration which was done on the specified component during installUI. This method is invoked when this UIComponent instance is being removed as the UI delegate for the specified component. This method should undo the configuration performed in installUI, being careful to leave the JComponent instance in a clean state (no extraneous listeners, look-and-feel-specific property objects, etc.). This should include the following:

1. Remove any UI-set borders from the component.
2. Remove any UI-set layout managers on the component.
3. Remove any UI-added sub-components from the component.
4. Remove any UI-added event/property listeners from the component.
5. Remove any UI-installed keyboard UI from the component.
6. Nullify any allocated instance data objects to allow for GC.

Overrides:

uninstallUI in class ComponentUI

Parameters:

c - the component from which this UI delegate is being removed; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components

UIs might wish to override this if they present areas on the screen that can be viewed as components, but actual components are not used for presenting those areas. Note: As of v1.3, it is recommended that developers call Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.getAccessibleChildrenCount() instead of this method.

Overrides:

getAccessibleChildrenCount in class ComponentUI

Returns:

the number of accessible children in the object

See Also:

Note: As of v1.3, it is recommended that developers call Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.getAccessibleChild() instead of this method.

Overrides:

getAccessibleChild in class ComponentUI

Parameters:

i - zero-based index of child

Returns:

the ith Accessible child of the object

See Also:

ComponentUI.getAccessibleChildrenCount(javax.swing.JComponent)

isNavigationKey

protected boolean isNavigationKey(int keyCode)

Returns whether or not the supplied keyCode maps to a key that is used for navigation. This is used for optimizing key input by only passing non- navigation keys to the type-ahead mechanism. Subclasses should override this if they change the navigation keys.

selectNextPossibleValue

protected void selectNextPossibleValue()

Selects the next item in the list. It won't change the selection if the currently selected item is already the last item.

protected Dimension getDisplaySize()

Returns the calculated size of the display area. The display area is the portion of the combo box in which the selected item is displayed. This method will use the prototype display value if it has been set.

For combo boxes with a non trivial number of items, it is recommended to use a prototype display value to significantly speed up the display size calculation.

Returns:

the size of the display area calculated from the combo box items

See Also:
