Class JScrollBar

java.lang.Object

java.awt.Component

java.awt.Container

javax.swing.JComponent

javax.swing.JScrollBar

All Implemented Interfaces:: Adjustable, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible

Direct Known Subclasses:: JScrollPane.ScrollBar

@JavaBean(defaultProperty="UI", description="A component that helps determine the visible content range of an area.") public class JScrollBar extends JComponent implements Adjustable, Accessible

An implementation of a scrollbar. The user positions the knob in the scrollbar to determine the contents of the viewing area. The program typically adjusts the display so that the end of the scrollbar represents the end of the displayable contents, or 100% of the contents. The start of the scrollbar is the beginning of the displayable contents, or 0%. The position of the knob within those bounds then translates to the corresponding percentage of the displayable contents.

Typically, as the position of the knob in the scrollbar changes a corresponding change is made to the position of the JViewport on the underlying view, changing the contents of the JViewport.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Since:

1.2

Constructor Details

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar(int orientation, int value, int extent, int min, int max)

Creates a scrollbar with the specified orientation, value, extent, minimum, and maximum. The "extent" is the size of the viewable area. It is also known as the "visible amount".

Note: Use setBlockIncrement to set the block increment to a size slightly smaller than the view's extent. That way, when the user jumps the knob to an adjacent position, one or two lines of the original contents remain in view.

Parameters:

orientation - an orientation of the JScrollBar

value - an int giving the current value

extent - an int giving the amount by which the value can "jump"

min - an int giving the minimum value

max - an int giving the maximum value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if orientation is not one of VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL

See Also:

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar(int orientation)

Creates a scrollbar with the specified orientation and the following initial values:

 minimum = 0
 maximum = 100
 value = 0
 extent = 10

Parameters:: orientation - an orientation of the JScrollBar

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar()

Creates a vertical scrollbar with the following initial values:

 minimum = 0
 maximum = 100
 value = 0
 extent = 10

See Also:

setModel

@BeanProperty(expert=true, description="The scrollbar\'s BoundedRangeModel.") public void setModel(BoundedRangeModel newModel)

Sets the model that handles the scrollbar's four fundamental properties: minimum, maximum, value, extent.

Parameters:

newModel - a new model

See Also:

getUnitIncrement

public int getUnitIncrement(int direction)

Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a unit up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks on a scrollbar up/down arrow and uses the result to update the scrollbar's value. Subclasses may override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll one (variable height) line of text or one row in a table.

The JScrollPane component creates scrollbars (by default) that override this method and delegate to the viewports Scrollable view, if it has one. The Scrollable interface provides a more specialized version of this method.

Some look and feel implementations that provide custom scrolling behavior ignore this property.

Parameters:

direction - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively

Returns:

the value of the unitIncrement property

See Also:

setUnitIncrement

@BeanProperty(preferred=true, description="The scrollbar\'s unit increment.") public void setUnitIncrement(int unitIncrement)

Sets the unitIncrement property.

Note, that if the argument is equal to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE, then most look and feel implementations will not provide scrolling to the right/down.

Some look and feel implementations that provide custom scrolling behavior ignore this property.

Specified by:

setUnitIncrement in interface Adjustable

Parameters:

unitIncrement - the unit increment

See Also:

getBlockIncrement

public int getBlockIncrement(int direction)

Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a block (usually "page") up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks outside the scrollbar "knob" to scroll up or down by a large amount. Subclasses may override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll one paragraph in a text document.

Some look and feel implementations that provide custom scrolling behavior ignore this property.

Parameters:

direction - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively

Returns:

the value of the blockIncrement property

See Also:

setBlockIncrement

@BeanProperty(preferred=true, description="The scrollbar\'s block increment.") public void setBlockIncrement(int blockIncrement)

Sets the blockIncrement property.

Note, that if the argument is equal to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE, then most look and feel implementations will not provide scrolling to the right/down.

Some look and feel implementations that provide custom scrolling behavior ignore this property.

Parameters:

extent - the length of the indicator

See Also:

getMinimum

public int getMinimum()

Returns the minimum value supported by the scrollbar (usually zero).

Specified by:

getMinimum in interface Adjustable

Returns:

the value of the model's minimum property

See Also:

setMinimum

@BeanProperty(bound=false, preferred=true, description="The scrollbar\'s minimum value.") public void setMinimum(int minimum)

maximum - the maximum value

See Also:

getValueIsAdjusting

public boolean getValueIsAdjusting()

True if the scrollbar knob is being dragged.

Returns:

the value of the model's valueIsAdjusting property

See Also:

setValueIsAdjusting

@BeanProperty(bound=false, expert=true, description="True if the scrollbar thumb is being dragged.") public void setValueIsAdjusting(boolean b)

Sets the model's valueIsAdjusting property. Scrollbar look and feel implementations should set this property to true when a knob drag begins, and to false when the drag ends. The scrollbar model will not generate ChangeEvents while valueIsAdjusting is true.

Parameters:

b - true if the upcoming changes to the value property are part of a series

See Also:

setValues

public void setValues(int newValue, int newExtent, int newMin, int newMax)

Sets the four BoundedRangeModel properties after forcing the arguments to obey the usual constraints:

 minimum ≤ value ≤ value+extent ≤ maximum

newValue - an int giving the current value

newExtent - an int giving the amount by which the value can "jump"

newMin - an int giving the minimum value

newMax - an int giving the maximum value

See Also:

addAdjustmentListener

public void addAdjustmentListener(AdjustmentListener l)

Adds an AdjustmentListener. Adjustment listeners are notified each time the scrollbar's model changes. Adjustment events are provided for backwards compatibility with java.awt.Scrollbar.

Note that the AdjustmentEvents type property will always have a placeholder value of AdjustmentEvent.TRACK because all changes to a BoundedRangeModels value are considered equivalent. To change the value of a BoundedRangeModel one just sets its value property, i.e. model.setValue(123). No information about the origin of the change, e.g. it's a block decrement, is provided. We don't try to fabricate the origin of the change here.
