Class ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy

java.lang.Object

java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy

java.awt.ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:: DefaultFocusTraversalPolicy

public class ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy extends FocusTraversalPolicy implements Serializable

A FocusTraversalPolicy that determines traversal order based on the order of child Components in a Container. From a particular focus cycle root, the policy makes a pre-order traversal of the Component hierarchy, and traverses a Container's children according to the ordering of the array returned by Container.getComponents(). Portions of the hierarchy that are not visible and displayable will not be searched.

By default, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy implicitly transfers focus down-cycle. That is, during normal forward focus traversal, the Component traversed after a focus cycle root will be the focus-cycle-root's default Component to focus. This behavior can be disabled using the setImplicitDownCycleTraversal method.

By default, methods of this class will return a Component only if it is visible, displayable, enabled, and focusable. Subclasses can modify this behavior by overriding the accept method.

This policy takes into account focus traversal policy providers. When searching for first/last/next/previous Component, if a focus traversal policy provider is encountered, its focus traversal policy is used to perform the search operation.

ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy

public ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy()

Constructs a ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy.

Method Details

getComponentAfter

public Component getComponentAfter(Container aContainer, Component aComponent)

Returns the Component that should receive the focus after aComponent. aContainer must be a focus cycle root of aComponent or a focus traversal policy provider.

By default, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy implicitly transfers focus down-cycle. That is, during normal forward focus traversal, the Component traversed after a focus cycle root will be the focus-cycle- root's default Component to focus. This behavior can be disabled using the setImplicitDownCycleTraversal method.

If aContainer is focus traversal policy provider, the focus is always transferred down-cycle.

Specified by:: getComponentAfter in class FocusTraversalPolicy
Parameters:: aContainer - a focus cycle root of aComponent or a focus traversal policy provider; aComponent - a (possibly indirect) child of aContainer, or aContainer itself
Returns:: the Component that should receive the focus after aComponent, or null if no suitable Component can be found
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if aContainer is not a focus cycle root of aComponent or focus traversal policy provider, or if either aContainer or aComponent is null

getComponentBefore

public Component getComponentBefore(Container aContainer, Component aComponent)

Returns the Component that should receive the focus before aComponent. aContainer must be a focus cycle root of aComponent or a focus traversal policy provider.

Specified by:: getComponentBefore in class FocusTraversalPolicy
Parameters:: aContainer - a focus cycle root of aComponent or focus traversal policy provider; aComponent - a (possibly indirect) child of aContainer, or aContainer itself
Returns:: the Component that should receive the focus before aComponent, or null if no suitable Component can be found
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if aContainer is not a focus cycle root of aComponent or focus traversal policy provider, or if either aContainer or aComponent is null

getFirstComponent

public Component getFirstComponent(Container aContainer)

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.

Specified by:: getFirstComponent in class FocusTraversalPolicy
Parameters:: aContainer - the focus cycle root or focus traversal policy provider whose first Component is to be returned
Returns:: the first Component in the traversal cycle of aContainer, or null if no suitable Component can be found
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if aContainer is null

getLastComponent

public Component getLastComponent(Container aContainer)

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.

Specified by:: getLastComponent in class FocusTraversalPolicy
Parameters:: aContainer - the focus cycle root or focus traversal policy provider whose last Component is to be returned
Returns:: the last Component in the traversal cycle of aContainer, or null if no suitable Component can be found
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if aContainer is null

getDefaultComponent

public Component getDefaultComponent(Container aContainer)

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 aContainer. The default implementation of this method returns the same Component as getFirstComponent.

Specified by:

getDefaultComponent in class FocusTraversalPolicy

Parameters:

aContainer - the focus cycle root or focus traversal policy provider whose default Component is to be returned

Returns:

the default Component in the traversal cycle of aContainer, or null if no suitable Component can be found

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if aContainer is null

See Also:

setImplicitDownCycleTraversal

public void setImplicitDownCycleTraversal(boolean implicitDownCycleTraversal)

Sets whether this ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy transfers focus down-cycle implicitly. If true, during normal forward focus traversal, the Component traversed after a focus cycle root will be the focus-cycle-root's default Component to focus. If false, the next Component in the focus traversal cycle rooted at the specified focus cycle root will be traversed instead. The default value for this property is true.

Parameters:

implicitDownCycleTraversal - whether this ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy transfers focus down-cycle implicitly

See Also:

getImplicitDownCycleTraversal

public boolean getImplicitDownCycleTraversal()

Returns whether this ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy transfers focus down-cycle implicitly. If true, during normal forward focus traversal, the Component traversed after a focus cycle root will be the focus-cycle-root's default Component to focus. If false, the next Component in the focus traversal cycle rooted at the specified focus cycle root will be traversed instead.

Returns:

whether this ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy transfers focus down-cycle implicitly

See Also:

accept

protected boolean accept(Component aComponent)

Determines whether a Component is an acceptable choice as the new focus owner. By default, this method will accept a Component if and only if it is visible, displayable, enabled, and focusable.

Parameters:: aComponent - the Component whose fitness as a focus owner is to be tested
Returns:: true if aComponent is visible, displayable, enabled, and focusable; false otherwise
