Field Detail

FOCUS_MANAGER_CLASS_PROPERTY

public static final String FOCUS_MANAGER_CLASS_PROPERTY

This field is obsolete, and its use is discouraged since its specification is incompatible with the 1.4 focus APIs. The current FocusManager is no longer a property of the UI. Client code must query for the current FocusManager using KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager(). See the Focus Specification for more information.

Constructor Detail

FocusManager

public FocusManager()

Method Detail

getCurrentManager

public static FocusManager getCurrentManager()

Returns the current KeyboardFocusManager instance for the calling thread's context.

Returns:: this thread's context's KeyboardFocusManager
See Also:: setCurrentManager(javax.swing.FocusManager)

setCurrentManager

public static void setCurrentManager(FocusManager aFocusManager)
                              throws SecurityException

Sets the current KeyboardFocusManager instance for the calling thread's context. If null is specified, then the current KeyboardFocusManager is replaced with a new instance of DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.

If a SecurityManager is installed, the calling thread must be granted the AWTPermission "replaceKeyboardFocusManager" in order to replace the the current KeyboardFocusManager. If this permission is not granted, this method will throw a SecurityException, and the current KeyboardFocusManager will be unchanged.

Parameters:: aFocusManager - the new KeyboardFocusManager for this thread's context
Throws:: SecurityException - if the calling thread does not have permission to replace the current KeyboardFocusManager
See Also:: getCurrentManager(), DefaultKeyboardFocusManager

disableSwingFocusManager

@Deprecated
public static void disableSwingFocusManager()

Deprecated.

as of 1.4, replaced by KeyboardFocusManager.setDefaultFocusTraversalPolicy(FocusTraversalPolicy)

Changes the current KeyboardFocusManager's default FocusTraversalPolicy to DefaultFocusTraversalPolicy.

See Also:: DefaultFocusTraversalPolicy, KeyboardFocusManager.setDefaultFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy)

isFocusManagerEnabled

@Deprecated
public static boolean isFocusManagerEnabled()

Deprecated.

As of 1.4, replaced by KeyboardFocusManager.getDefaultFocusTraversalPolicy()

Returns whether the application has invoked disableSwingFocusManager().

Returns:: true if focus manager is enabled.
