| Method Summary | |
| public static void | addItems(JComboBox cbox, Object[] items)
| | public static int | calculateAverageTextWidth(Component comp, int numCharacters)
Calculates the width of an average string of text. | | public static void | calculateReasonableComponentSize(Dimension d)
Sets the size of the dimension to some reasonable value. | | public static void | centerFrame(Window frame, float xpctWidth, float ypctWidth)
This method centers and sizes a frame window on the screen. | | public static void | centerWindow(Window frame)
This method centers a window window on the screen. | | public static void | centerWindowChangeWidth(Window frame, float xpctWidth)
This method centers a window window and changes the width on the screen.
The caller must pass the x percentages of screen width. | | public static void | copyToClipboard(String str)
| | public static Dialog | createDialog(Class dlgclass, Component owner, boolean bModal)
This method creates a dialog of the type class. | | public static int | getFrameBorderThickness()
| | public static int | getTitleBarHeight()
| | public static JETADialog | invokeDialog(JETAPanel view, Component owner, String title)
Creates and displays a model JETADialog using the given view as the
content pane. | | public static JETADialog | invokeDialog(JETAPanel view, Component owner, String title, JComponent initialFocus)
Creates and displays a model JETADialog using the given view as the
content pane. | | public static boolean | isAquaLookAndFeel()
Returns true if running OS X Aqua look and feel. | | public static boolean | isOSX()
| | public static boolean | isWindows()
| | public static boolean | isWindowsLookAndFeel()
true if we are currently in the windows look and feel. | | public static void | setReasonableWindowSize(Component window, Dimension d)
Sets the size of the given window to the passed in dimension. |
| APPLICATION_FRAME | | final public static String APPLICATION_FRAME(Code) | | |
| addItems | | public static void addItems(JComboBox cbox, Object[] items)(Code) | | Adds an array or collection of items to a combo box
|
| calculateAverageTextWidth | | public static int calculateAverageTextWidth(Component comp, int numCharacters)(Code) | | Calculates the width of an average string of text.
Parameters:
comp - the component whose font metrics will determine the width
Parameters:
numCharacters - the number of characters to use to calculate the length |
| calculateReasonableComponentSize | | public static void calculateReasonableComponentSize(Dimension d)(Code) | | Sets the size of the dimension to some reasonable value. If the given
dimension is larger than the screen size, then we set the window to 80%
of the screen size. Otherwise, we leave it alone
Parameters:
d - the dimension of the window to set |
| centerFrame | | public static void centerFrame(Window frame, float xpctWidth, float ypctWidth)(Code) | | This method centers and sizes a frame window on the screen. The caller
must pass the x and y percentages of screen width/height.
|
| centerWindow | | public static void centerWindow(Window frame)(Code) | | This method centers a window window on the screen. The caller must pass
the x and y percentages of screen width/height.
|
| centerWindowChangeWidth | | public static void centerWindowChangeWidth(Window frame, float xpctWidth)(Code) | | This method centers a window window and changes the width on the screen.
The caller must pass the x percentages of screen width. The height
remains unchanged
|
| copyToClipboard | | public static void copyToClipboard(String str)(Code) | | Copies to the clipboard the given string
|
| createDialog | | public static Dialog createDialog(Class dlgclass, Component owner, boolean bModal)(Code) | | This method creates a dialog of the type class. It assumes that the
dialog will have constructors that have the following form: ctor( JDialog
owner, boolean bmodal ) ctor( Frame owner, boolean bmodal )
This method interogates the owner object. If this object is a JDialog or
Frame, then we call the appropriate constructor for the class. If this
object is a JComponent, then we get the objects owner window and
determine if that is a JDialog or Frame.
Parameters:
dlgclass - the class of the dialog we want to create
Parameters:
owner - the owner of the new dialog. This object can be indirectly anowner. For example, you can pass in a JPanel as the owner.This method will detect this and get the appropriate owner ofthe JPanel
Parameters:
bModal - true if you want the dialog to be modal |
| getFrameBorderThickness | | public static int getFrameBorderThickness()(Code) | | the thickness (in pixels) of the border on a frame or dialogwindow Currently, this is hard coded until I figure out a way toget this value. |
| getTitleBarHeight | | public static int getTitleBarHeight()(Code) | | the height (in pixels) of the titlebar on a frame or dialogwindow Currently, this is hard coded until I figure out a way toget this value. |
| invokeDialog | | public static JETADialog invokeDialog(JETAPanel view, Component owner, String title)(Code) | | Creates and displays a model JETADialog using the given view as the
content pane. The dialog is centered on the screen and it's modal parent
is set to null.
|
| invokeDialog | | public static JETADialog invokeDialog(JETAPanel view, Component owner, String title, JComponent initialFocus)(Code) | | Creates and displays a model JETADialog using the given view as the
content pane. The dialog is centered on the screen and it's modal parent
is set to null.
Parameters:
view - the main content panel for the dialog
Parameters:
title - the dialog's title
Parameters:
initialFocus - the component that will have the initial focus |
| isAquaLookAndFeel | | public static boolean isAquaLookAndFeel()(Code) | | Returns true if running OS X Aqua look and feel.
|
| isOSX | | public static boolean isOSX()(Code) | | true if running Mac OS X |
| isWindows | | public static boolean isWindows()(Code) | | true if running Windows |
| isWindowsLookAndFeel | | public static boolean isWindowsLookAndFeel()(Code) | | true if we are currently in the windows look and feel. This L&Fhas different focus issues with the popup |
| setReasonableWindowSize | | public static void setReasonableWindowSize(Component window, Dimension d)(Code) | | Sets the size of the given window to the passed in dimension. However, if
the given dimension is larger than the screen size, then we set the
window to 80% of the screen size
Parameters:
window - the window whose size we are setting
Parameters:
d - the dimension of the window to set |
