Constructor Details

BasicEditorPaneUI

public BasicEditorPaneUI()

Creates a new BasicEditorPaneUI.

Method Details

createUI

public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c)

Creates a UI for the JTextPane.

Parameters:: c - the JTextPane component
Returns:: the UI

getPropertyPrefix

protected String getPropertyPrefix()

Fetches the name used as a key to lookup properties through the UIManager. This is used as a prefix to all the standard text properties.

Specified by:: getPropertyPrefix in class BasicTextUI
Returns:: the name ("EditorPane")

installUI

public void installUI(JComponent c)

Installs the UI for a component. This does the following things.

Sets the associated component to opaque if the opaque property has not already been set by the client program. This will cause the component's background color to be painted.
Installs the default caret and highlighter into the associated component. These properties are only set if their current value is either null or an instance of UIResource.
Attaches to the editor and model. If there is no model, a default one is created.
Creates the view factory and the view hierarchy used to represent the model.

Overrides:

installUI in class BasicTextUI

Parameters:

c - the editor component

Since:

1.5

See Also:

uninstallUI

public void uninstallUI(JComponent c)

Deinstalls the UI for a component. This removes the listeners, uninstalls the highlighter, removes views, and nulls out the keymap.

Overrides:

uninstallUI in class BasicTextUI

Parameters:

c - the editor component

Since:

1.5

See Also:

getEditorKit

public EditorKit getEditorKit(JTextComponent tc)

Fetches the EditorKit for the UI. This is whatever is currently set in the associated JEditorPane.

Overrides:

getEditorKit in class BasicTextUI

Parameters:

tc - the text component for which this UI is installed

Returns:

the editor capabilities

See Also:

propertyChange

protected void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)

This method gets called when a bound property is changed on the associated JTextComponent. This is a hook which UI implementations may change to reflect how the UI displays bound properties of JTextComponent subclasses. This is implemented to rebuild the ActionMap based upon an EditorKit change.

Overrides:: propertyChange in class BasicTextUI
Parameters:: evt - the property change event
