 java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy
All known Subclasses: java.awt.ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy,
| FocusTraversalPolicy | | abstract public class FocusTraversalPolicy (Code) | | A FocusTraversalPolicy defines the order in which Components with a
particular focus cycle root are traversed. Instances can apply the policy to
arbitrary focus cycle roots, allowing themselves to be shared across
Containers. They do not need to be reinitialized when the focus cycle roots
of a Component hierarchy change.
The core responsibility of a FocusTraversalPolicy is to provide algorithms
determining the next and previous Components to focus when traversing
forward or backward in a UI. Each FocusTraversalPolicy must also provide
algorithms for determining the first, last, and default Components in a
traversal cycle. First and last Components are used when normal forward and
backward traversal, respectively, wraps. The default Component is the first
to receive focus when traversing down into a new focus traversal cycle.
A FocusTraversalPolicy can optionally provide an algorithm for determining
a Window's initial Component. The initial Component is the first to receive
focus when a Window is first made visible.

| getComponentAfter | | abstract public Component getComponentAfter(Container focusCycleRoot, Component aComponent)(Code) | | Returns the Component that should receive the focus after aComponent.
focusCycleRoot must be a focus cycle root of aComponent.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - a focus cycle root of aComponent
Parameters:
aComponent - a (possibly indirect) child of focusCycleRoot, orfocusCycleRoot itself the Component that should receive the focus after aComponent, ornull if no suitable Component can be found
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if focusCycleRoot is not a focus cycleroot of aComponent, or if either focusCycleRoot or aComponent isnull |
| getComponentBefore | | abstract public Component getComponentBefore(Container focusCycleRoot, Component aComponent)(Code) | | Returns the Component that should receive the focus before aComponent.
focusCycleRoot must be a focus cycle root of aComponent.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - a focus cycle root of aComponent
Parameters:
aComponent - a (possibly indirect) child of focusCycleRoot, orfocusCycleRoot itself the Component that should receive the focus before aComponent,or null if no suitable Component can be found
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if focusCycleRoot is not a focus cycleroot of aComponent, or if either focusCycleRoot or aComponent isnull |
| getDefaultComponent | | abstract public Component getDefaultComponent(Container focusCycleRoot)(Code) | | Returns the default Component to focus. This Component will be the first
to receive focus when traversing down into a new focus traversal cycle
rooted at focusCycleRoot.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - the focus cycle root whose default Component is tobe returned the default Component in the traversal cycle when focusCycleRootis the focus cycle root, or null if no suitable Component canbe found
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if focusCycleRoot is null |
| getFirstComponent | | abstract public Component getFirstComponent(Container focusCycleRoot)(Code) | | Returns the first Component in the traversal cycle. This method is used
to determine the next Component to focus when traversal wraps in the
forward direction.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - the focus cycle root whose first Component is tobe returned the first Component in the traversal cycle when focusCycleRootis the focus cycle root, or null if no suitable Component can befound
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if focusCycleRoot is null |
| getInitialComponent | | public Component getInitialComponent(Window window)(Code) | | Returns the Component that should receive the focus when a Window is
made visible for the first time. Once the Window has been made visible
by a call to show() or setVisible(true), the
initial Component will not be used again. Instead, if the Window loses
and subsequently regains focus, or is made invisible or undisplayable
and subsequently made visible and displayable, the Window's most
recently focused Component will become the focus owner. The default
implementation of this method returns the default Component.
Parameters:
window - the Window whose initial Component is to be returned the Component that should receive the focus when window is madevisible for the first time, or null if no suitable Component canbe found
See Also: FocusTraversalPolicy.getDefaultComponent
See Also: Window.getMostRecentFocusOwner
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if window is null |
| getLastComponent | | abstract public Component getLastComponent(Container focusCycleRoot)(Code) | | Returns the last Component in the traversal cycle. This method is used
to determine the next Component to focus when traversal wraps in the
reverse direction.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - the focus cycle root whose last Component is to bereturned the last Component in the traversal cycle when focusCycleRoot isthe focus cycle root, or null if no suitable Component can befound
throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if focusCycleRoot is null |
