public class JRootPane extends JComponent implements Accessible

A lightweight container used behind the scenes byJFrame, JDialog, JWindow,JApplet, and JInternalFrame. For task-oriented information on functionality provided by root panes see How to Use Root Panes, a section in The Java Tutorial.

The following image shows the relationships between the classes that use root panes.

The "heavyweight" components (those that delegate to a peer, or native component on the host system) are shown with a darker, heavier box. The four heavyweight JFC/Swing containers (JFrame, JDialog,JWindow, and JApplet) are shown in relation to the AWT classes they extend. These four components are the only heavyweight containers in the Swing library. The lightweight containerJInternalFrame is also shown. All five of these JFC/Swing containers implement theRootPaneContainer interface, and they all delegate their operations to aJRootPane (shown with a little "handle" on top).

Note: The JComponent method getRootPane can be used to obtain the JRootPane that contains a given component.

Example:

The diagram at right shows the structure of a JRootPane. A JRootpane is made up of a glassPane, an optional menuBar, and a contentPane. (The JLayeredPane manages the menuBar and the contentPane.) The glassPane sits over the top of everything, where it is in a position to intercept mouse movements. Since the glassPane (like the contentPane) can be an arbitrary component, it is also possible to set up theglassPane for drawing. Lines and images on theglassPane can then range over the frames underneath without being limited by their boundaries.

Although the menuBar component is optional, the layeredPane, contentPane, and glassPane always exist. Attempting to set them to null generates an exception.

To add components to the JRootPane (other than the optional menu bar), you add the object to the contentPane of the JRootPane, like this:

   rootPane.getContentPane().add(child);

The same principle holds true for setting layout managers, removing components, listing children, etc. All these methods are invoked on the contentPane instead of on the JRootPane.

Note: The default layout manager for the contentPane is a BorderLayout manager. However, the JRootPane uses a custom LayoutManager. So, when you want to change the layout manager for the components you added to a JRootPane, be sure to use code like this:

rootPane.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout());

If a JMenuBar component is set on the JRootPane, it is positioned along the upper edge of the frame. The contentPane is adjusted in location and size to fill the remaining area. (The JMenuBar and the contentPane are added to thelayeredPane component at theJLayeredPane.FRAME_CONTENT_LAYER layer.)

The layeredPane is the parent of all children in theJRootPane -- both as the direct parent of the menu and the grandparent of all components added to the contentPane. It is an instance of JLayeredPane, which provides the ability to add components at several layers. This capability is very useful when working with menu popups, dialog boxes, and dragging -- situations in which you need to place a component on top of all other components in the pane.

The glassPane sits on top of all other components in theJRootPane. That provides a convenient place to draw above all other components, and makes it possible to intercept mouse events, which is useful both for dragging and for drawing. Developers can use setVisible on the glassPane to control when the glassPane displays over the other children. By default the glassPane is not visible.

The custom LayoutManager used by JRootPane ensures that:

1. The glassPane fills the entire viewable area of the JRootPane (bounds - insets).
2. The layeredPane fills the entire viewable area of theJRootPane. (bounds - insets)
3. The menuBar is positioned at the upper edge of thelayeredPane.
4. The contentPane fills the entire viewable area, minus the menuBar, if present.

Any other views in the JRootPane view hierarchy are ignored.

If you replace the LayoutManager of the JRootPane, you are responsible for managing all of these views. So ordinarily you will want to be sure that you change the layout manager for the contentPane rather than for the JRootPane itself!

The painting architecture of Swing requires an opaqueJComponent to exist in the containment hierarchy above all other components. This is typically provided by way of the content pane. If you replace the content pane, it is recommended that you make the content pane opaque by way of setOpaque(true). Additionally, if the content pane overrides paintComponent, it will need to completely fill in the background in an opaque color inpaintComponent.

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.

  • createLayeredPane

  Called by the constructor methods to create the defaultlayeredPane. Bt default it creates a new JLayeredPane.
  Returns:
  the default layeredPane

  • createContentPane

  protected Container createContentPane()
  Called by the constructor methods to create the defaultcontentPane. By default this method creates a new JComponent add sets aBorderLayout as its LayoutManager.
  Returns:
  the default contentPane

  • createGlassPane

  protected Component createGlassPane()
  Called by the constructor methods to create the defaultglassPane. By default this method creates a new JComponent with visibility set to false.
  Returns:
  the default glassPane

  • createRootLayout

  Called by the constructor methods to create the defaultlayoutManager.
  Returns:
  the default layoutManager.

  • setContentPane

  public void setContentPane​(Container content)
  Sets the content pane -- the container that holds the components parented by the root pane.
  Swing's painting architecture requires an opaque JComponent in the containment hierarchy. This is typically provided by the content pane. If you replace the content pane it is recommended you replace it with an opaque JComponent.
  Parameters:
  content - the Container to use for component-contents
  Throws:
  [IllegalComponentStateException](../../java/awt/IllegalComponentStateException.html "class in java.awt") - (a runtime exception) if the content pane parameter is null

  • getContentPane

  Returns the content pane -- the container that holds the components parented by the root pane.
  Returns:
  the Container that holds the component-contents

  • setLayeredPane

  public void setLayeredPane​(JLayeredPane layered)
  Sets the layered pane for the root pane. The layered pane typically holds a content pane and an optional JMenuBar.
  Parameters:
  layered - the JLayeredPane to use
  Throws:
  [IllegalComponentStateException](../../java/awt/IllegalComponentStateException.html "class in java.awt") - (a runtime exception) if the layered pane parameter is null

  • getLayeredPane

  Gets the layered pane used by the root pane. The layered pane typically holds a content pane and an optional JMenuBar.
  Returns:
  the JLayeredPane currently in use

  • setGlassPane

  public void setGlassPane​(Component glass)
  Sets a specified Component to be the glass pane for this root pane. The glass pane should normally be a lightweight, transparent component, because it will be made visible when ever the root pane needs to grab input events.
  The new glass pane's visibility is changed to match that of the current glass pane. An implication of this is that care must be taken when you want to replace the glass pane and make it visible. Either of the following will work:
  root.setGlassPane(newGlassPane);
  newGlassPane.setVisible(true);

  or:
  root.getGlassPane().setVisible(true);
  root.setGlassPane(newGlassPane);

  Parameters:
  glass - the Component to use as the glass pane for this JRootPane
  Throws:
  [NullPointerException](../../../java.base/java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if the glass parameter isnull

  • getGlassPane

  Returns the current glass pane for this JRootPane.
  Returns:
  the current glass pane
  See Also:
  setGlassPane(java.awt.Component)

  • isValidateRoot

  public boolean isValidateRoot()
  If a descendant of this JRootPane callsrevalidate, validate from here on down.
  Deferred requests to layout a component and its descendents again. For example, calls to revalidate, are pushed upwards to either a JRootPane or a JScrollPane because both classes override isValidateRoot to return true.
  Overrides:
  [isValidateRoot](JComponent.html#isValidateRoot%28%29) in class [JComponent](JComponent.html "class in javax.swing")
  Returns:
  true
  See Also:
  JComponent.isValidateRoot(), Container.isValidateRoot()

  • isOptimizedDrawingEnabled

  public boolean isOptimizedDrawingEnabled()
  The glassPane and contentPane have the same bounds, which means JRootPane does not tiles its children and this should return false. On the other hand, the glassPane is normally not visible, and so this can return true if theglassPane isn't visible. Therefore, the return value here depends upon the visibility of theglassPane.
  Overrides:
  [isOptimizedDrawingEnabled](JComponent.html#isOptimizedDrawingEnabled%28%29) in class [JComponent](JComponent.html "class in javax.swing")
  Returns:
  true if this component's children don't overlap

  • setDefaultButton

  @BeanProperty(description="The button activated by default in this root pane")public void setDefaultButton​(JButton defaultButton)
  Sets the defaultButton property, which determines the current default button for this JRootPane. The default button is the button which will be activated when a UI-defined activation event (typically the Enter key) occurs in the root pane regardless of whether or not the button has keyboard focus (unless there is another component within the root pane which consumes the activation event, such as a JTextPane). For default activation to work, the button must be an enabled descendent of the root pane when activation occurs. To remove a default button from this root pane, set this property to null.
  Parameters:
  defaultButton - the JButton which is to be the default button
  See Also:
  JButton.isDefaultButton()

  • getDefaultButton

  public JButton getDefaultButton()
  Returns the value of the defaultButton property.
  Returns:
  the JButton which is currently the default button
  See Also:
  setDefaultButton(javax.swing.JButton)

  • addImpl

  Overridden to enforce the position of the glass component as the zero child.
  Overrides:
  [addImpl](../../java/awt/Container.html#addImpl%28java.awt.Component,java.lang.Object,int%29) in class [Container](../../java/awt/Container.html "class in java.awt")
  Parameters:
  comp - the component to be enhanced
  constraints - the constraints to be respected
  index - the index
  See Also:
  Container.add(Component), Container.add(Component, int), Container.add(Component, java.lang.Object), Container.invalidate(), LayoutManager, LayoutManager2

  • paramString

  Returns a string representation of this JRootPane. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.
  Overrides:
  [paramString](JComponent.html#paramString%28%29) in class [JComponent](JComponent.html "class in javax.swing")
  Returns:
  a string representation of this JRootPane.

  • getAccessibleContext

  Gets the AccessibleContext associated with thisJRootPane. For root panes, theAccessibleContext takes the form of anAccessibleJRootPane. A new AccessibleJRootPane instance is created if necessary.
