public static class Box.Filler
extends Component
implements Accessible

An implementation of a lightweight component that participates in layout but has no view.

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. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Field Detail

accessibleContext

protected AccessibleContext accessibleContext
The currently set AccessibleContext object.
Constructor Detail

Box.Filler

public Box.Filler(Dimension min,
                  Dimension pref,
                  Dimension max)
Constructor to create shape with the given size ranges.
Parameters:
min - Minimum size
pref - Preferred size
max - Maximum size
Method Detail

changeShape

public void changeShape(Dimension min,
                        Dimension pref,
                        Dimension max)
Change the size requests for this shape. An invalidate() is propagated upward as a result so that layout will eventually happen with using the new sizes.
Parameters:
min - Value to return for getMinimumSize
pref - Value to return for getPreferredSize
max - Value to return for getMaximumSize

getMinimumSize

public Dimension getMinimumSize()
Returns the minimum size of the component.
Returns:
the size
Overrides:
getMinimumSize in class Component

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize()
Returns the preferred size of the component.
Returns:
the size
Overrides:
getPreferredSize in class Component

getMaximumSize

public Dimension getMaximumSize()
Returns the maximum size of the component.
Returns:
the size
Overrides:
getMaximumSize in class Component

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Component. Creates a new context if necessary.
Specified by:
getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
Returns:
the AccessibleContext of this Component
