Class InputMap

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.InputMap
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ComponentInputMap, InputMapUIResource 
public class InputMap extends Object implements Serializable
InputMap provides a binding between an input event (currently only KeyStrokes are used) and an Object. InputMaps are usually used with an ActionMap, to determine an Action to perform when a key is pressed. An InputMap can have a parent that is searched for bindings not defined in the InputMap.

As with ActionMap if you create a cycle, eg: 

   InputMap am = new InputMap();
   InputMap bm = new InputMap():
   am.setParent(bm);
   bm.setParent(am);
some of the methods will cause a StackOverflowError to be thrown.

Constructor Details

InputMap

public InputMap()
Creates an InputMap with no parent and no mappings.

Method Details

setParent

public void setParent(InputMap map)
Sets this InputMap's parent.
Parameters:
map - the InputMap that is the parent of this one

getParent

public InputMap getParent()
Gets this InputMap's parent.
Returns:
map the InputMap that is the parent of this one, or null if this InputMap has no parent

put

public void put(KeyStroke keyStroke, Object actionMapKey)
Adds a binding for keyStroke to actionMapKey. If actionMapKey is null, this removes the current binding for keyStroke.
Parameters:
keyStroke - a KeyStroke
actionMapKey - an action map key

get

public Object get(KeyStroke keyStroke)
Returns the binding for keyStroke, messaging the parent InputMap if the binding is not locally defined.
Parameters:
keyStroke - the KeyStroke for which to get the binding
Returns:
the binding for keyStroke

remove

public void remove(KeyStroke key)
Removes the binding for key from this InputMap.
Parameters:
key - the KeyStroke for which to remove the binding

clear

public void clear()
Removes all the mappings from this InputMap.

keys

public KeyStroke[] keys()
Returns the KeyStrokes that are bound in this InputMap.
Returns:
an array of the KeyStrokes that are bound in this InputMap

size

public int size()
Returns the number of KeyStroke bindings.
Returns:
the number of KeyStroke bindings

allKeys

public KeyStroke[] allKeys()
Returns an array of the KeyStrokes defined in this InputMap and its parent. This differs from keys() in that this method includes the keys defined in the parent.
Returns:
an array of the KeyStrokes defined in this InputMap and its parent
