Class ScrollPaneLayout

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--javax.swing.ScrollPaneLayout
All Implemented Interfaces:
LayoutManager, ScrollPaneConstants, Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
ScrollPaneLayout.UIResource

public class ScrollPaneLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager, ScrollPaneConstants, Serializable

The layout manager used by JScrollPane. JScrollPaneLayout is responsible for nine components: a viewport, two scrollbars, a row header, a column header, and four "corner" components.

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 JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Detail

ScrollPaneLayout

public ScrollPaneLayout()
Method Detail

syncWithScrollPane

public void syncWithScrollPane(JScrollPane sp)
This method is invoked after the ScrollPaneLayout is set as the LayoutManager of a JScrollPane. It initializes all of the internal fields that are ordinarily set by addLayoutComponent. For example:
 ScrollPaneLayout mySPLayout = new ScrollPanelLayout() {
     public void layoutContainer(Container p) {
         super.layoutContainer(p);
         // do some extra work here ...
     }
 };
 scrollpane.setLayout(mySPLayout):
 


addSingletonComponent

                                          Component newC)
Removes an existing component. When a new component, such as the left corner, or vertical scrollbar, is added, the old one, if it exists, must be removed.

This method returns newC. If oldC is not equal to newC and is non-null, it will be removed from its parent.

Parameters:
