Class InternalFrameFocusTraversalPolicy

java.lang.Object

java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy

javax.swing.InternalFrameFocusTraversalPolicy

Direct Known Subclasses:: SortingFocusTraversalPolicy

public abstract class InternalFrameFocusTraversalPolicy extends FocusTraversalPolicy

A FocusTraversalPolicy which can optionally provide an algorithm for determining a JInternalFrame's initial Component. The initial Component is the first to receive focus when the JInternalFrame is first selected. By default, this is the same as the JInternalFrame's default Component to focus.

Since:: 1.4

Methods declared in class FocusTraversalPolicy

getComponentAfter, getComponentBefore, getDefaultComponent, getFirstComponent, getInitialComponent, getLastComponent

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`abstract 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.
`abstract 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.
`abstract Component`	`getDefaultComponent(Container aContainer)`	Returns the default Component to focus.
`abstract Component`	`getFirstComponent(Container aContainer)`	Returns the first Component in the traversal cycle.
`Component`	`getInitialComponent(Window window)`	Returns the Component that should receive the focus when a Window is made visible for the first time.
`abstract Component`	`getLastComponent(Container aContainer)`	Returns the last Component in the traversal cycle.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`protected void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.

`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

protected InternalFrameFocusTraversalPolicy()

Constructor for subclasses to call.

Method Details

getInitialComponent

public Component getInitialComponent(JInternalFrame frame)

Returns the Component that should receive the focus when a JInternalFrame is selected for the first time. Once the JInternalFrame has been selected by a call to setSelected(true), the initial Component will not be used again. Instead, if the JInternalFrame loses and subsequently regains selection, or is made invisible or undisplayable and subsequently made visible and displayable, the JInternalFrame's most recently focused Component will become the focus owner. The default implementation of this method returns the JInternalFrame's default Component to focus.

Parameters:

frame - the JInternalFrame whose initial Component is to be returned

Returns:

the Component that should receive the focus when frame is selected for the first time, or null if no suitable Component can be found

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if window is null
