Class EOViewLayout

java.lang.Object
  com.webobjects.eointerface.swing.EOViewLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:

LayoutManager, LayoutManager2, Serializable

public class EOViewLayout

extends Object

implements LayoutManager2, Serializable

An EOViewLayout is an AWT layout manager which offers "spring" resizing (like Cocoa views). EOViewLayout implements the geometry options available in Interface Builder's Size inspector. The size of a Component embedded in a Container using this layout scheme will be a function of both its autosizing mask and its initial size.

Method Detail

addLayoutComponent

public void addLayoutComponent(String name,
                               Component component)

Does nothing.

Specified by:

addLayoutComponent in interface LayoutManager

Parameters:

name -

component -

addLayoutComponent

public void addLayoutComponent(Component component,
                               Object constraints)

Registers component with the EOViewLayout. constraints should be an Integer object representing the autosizing mask for component.

Specified by:

addLayoutComponent in interface LayoutManager2

Parameters:

component - the component

constraints - an Integer representing the autosizing mask for the component

autosizingMask

public int autosizingMask(Component component)

Returns the autosizing mask of a component layed out by the EOViewLayout. The mask is some bitwise combination of the following constants: MaxXMargin, MinXMargin, MaxYMargin, MinYMargin, WidthSizable, HeightSizable, and BothSizable.

Parameters:

component - the component

Returns:

the autosizing mask of the component

See Also:

MaxXMargin, MinXMargin, MaxYMargin, MinYMargin, WidthSizable, HeightSizable, BothSizable

getLayoutAlignmentX

public float getLayoutAlignmentX(Container container)

Returns the alingment of the component container along the x axis.

Specified by:

getLayoutAlignmentX in interface LayoutManager2

Parameters:

container - the component

Returns:

the alignment

getLayoutAlignmentY

public float getLayoutAlignmentY(Container container)

Returns the alingment of the component container along the y axis.

Specified by:

getLayoutAlignmentY in interface LayoutManager2

Parameters:

container - the component

Returns:

the alignment

invalidateLayout

public void invalidateLayout(Container container)

Does nothing.

Specified by:

invalidateLayout in interface LayoutManager2

Parameters:

container -

lastKnownSize

public Dimension lastKnownSize(Component component)

Returns the "last known size" of a component layed out by the EOViewLayout. This size is the basis for the size adjustment of the component next time the component's parent is resized.

Parameters:

component - the component

Returns:

the last known size of the comonent

layoutContainer

public void layoutContainer(Container container)

Lays out the subcomponents of the component container. Adjusts the locations and sizes of the subcomponents according to the autosizing masks registered for them.

Specified by:

layoutContainer in interface LayoutManager

Parameters:

container - the component to lay out

maximumLayoutSize

public Dimension maximumLayoutSize(Container container)

Returns the maximum size of the component container.

Specified by:

maximumLayoutSize in interface LayoutManager2

Parameters:

container - the component

Returns:

the maximum size

minimumLayoutSize

public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container container)

Returns the minimum size of the component container.

Specified by:

minimumLayoutSize in interface LayoutManager

Parameters:

container - the component

Returns:

the minimum size

preferredLayoutSize

public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container container)

Returns the preferred size of the component container.

Specified by:

preferredLayoutSize in interface LayoutManager

Parameters:

container - the component

Returns:

the preferred size

removeLayoutComponent

public void removeLayoutComponent(Component component)

Unregisters component from the EOViewLayout.

Specified by:

removeLayoutComponent in interface LayoutManager

Parameters:

component - the component

setAutosizingMask

public void setAutosizingMask(Component component,
                              int autosizingMask)

Sets the autosizing mask of a component layed out by the EOViewLayout to autosizingMask. This information is subsequently used by the receiver to calculate the new location and dimensions of component whenever its parent is resized. The mask should be some bitwise combination of the following constants: MaxXMargin, MinXMargin, MaxYMargin, MinYMargin, WidthSizable, HeightSizable, and BothSizable.

Parameters:

component - the component

autosizingMask - the autosizing mask of the component

See Also:

MaxXMargin, MinXMargin, MaxYMargin, MinYMargin, WidthSizable, HeightSizable, BothSizable

setLastKnownSize

public void setLastKnownSize(Component component,
                             Dimension size)

Sets the "last known size" of a component layed out by the EOViewLayout. This size is the basis for the size adjustment of the component next time the component's parent is resized. You can use this method to explicitly register new dimensions of a component with the layout manager. This might be necessary for example if you change the location and dimension of components programmatically, without relying on the EOViewLayout.

Parameters:

component - the component

size - the last known size of the comonent
