JCheckBoxMenuItem (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

javax.swing

Class JCheckBoxMenuItem

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.Component java.awt.Container javax.swing.JComponent javax.swing.AbstractButton javax.swing.JMenuItem javax.swing.JCheckBoxMenuItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, ItemSelectable, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, MenuElement, SwingConstants

public class JCheckBoxMenuItem

extends JMenuItem

implements SwingConstants, Accessible

A menu item that can be selected or deselected. If selected, the menu item typically appears with a checkmark next to it. If unselected or deselected, the menu item appears without a checkmark. Like a regular menu item, a check box menu item can have either text or a graphic icon associated with it, or both.

Either isSelected/setSelected or getState/setState can be used to determine/specify the menu item's selection state. The preferred methods are isSelected andsetSelected, which work for all menus and buttons. The getState and setState methods exist for compatibility with other component sets.

For further information and examples of using check box menu items, see How to Use Menus, a section in The Java Tutorial.

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 Summary
JCheckBoxMenuItem() Creates an initially unselected check box menu item with no set text or icon.
JCheckBoxMenuItem(Action a) Creates a menu item whose properties are taken from the Action supplied.
JCheckBoxMenuItem(Icon icon) Creates an initially unselected check box menu item with an icon.
JCheckBoxMenuItem(String text) Creates an initially unselected check box menu item with text.
[JCheckBoxMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JCheckBoxMenuItem.html#JCheckBoxMenuItem%28java.lang.String, boolean%29)(String text, boolean b) Creates a check box menu item with the specified text and selection state.
[JCheckBoxMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JCheckBoxMenuItem.html#JCheckBoxMenuItem%28java.lang.String, javax.swing.Icon%29)(String text,Icon icon) Creates an initially unselected check box menu item with the specified text and icon.
[JCheckBoxMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JCheckBoxMenuItem.html#JCheckBoxMenuItem%28java.lang.String, javax.swing.Icon, boolean%29)(String text,Icon icon, boolean b) Creates a check box menu item with the specified text, icon, and selection state.

Method Detail

getUIClassID

public String getUIClassID()

Returns the name of the L&F class that renders this component.

Overrides:

[getUIClassID](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html#getUIClassID%28%29) in class [JMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html "class in javax.swing")

Returns:

"CheckBoxMenuItemUI"

getState

public boolean getState()

Returns the selected-state of the item. This method exists for AWT compatibility only. New code should use isSelected() instead.

Returns:

true if the item is selected

setState

public void setState(boolean b)

Sets the selected-state of the item. This method exists for AWT compatibility only. New code should use setSelected() instead.

Parameters:

b - a boolean value indicating the item's selected-state, where true=selected

getSelectedObjects

public Object[] getSelectedObjects()

Returns an array (length 1) containing the check box menu item label or null if the check box is not selected.

Specified by:

[getSelectedObjects](../../java/awt/ItemSelectable.html#getSelectedObjects%28%29) in interface [ItemSelectable](../../java/awt/ItemSelectable.html "interface in java.awt")

Overrides:

[getSelectedObjects](../../javax/swing/AbstractButton.html#getSelectedObjects%28%29) in class [AbstractButton](../../javax/swing/AbstractButton.html "class in javax.swing")

Returns:

an array containing one Object -- the text of the menu item -- if the item is selected; otherwise null

paramString

protected String paramString()

Returns a string representation of this JCheckBoxMenuItem. 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](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html#paramString%28%29) in class [JMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html "class in javax.swing")

Returns:

a string representation of this JCheckBoxMenuItem.

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JCheckBoxMenuItem. For JCheckBoxMenuItems, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJCheckBoxMenuItem. A new AccessibleJCheckBoxMenuItem instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

[getAccessibleContext](../../javax/accessibility/Accessible.html#getAccessibleContext%28%29) in interface [Accessible](../../javax/accessibility/Accessible.html "interface in javax.accessibility")

Overrides:

[getAccessibleContext](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html#getAccessibleContext%28%29) in class [JMenuItem](../../javax/swing/JMenuItem.html "class in javax.swing")

Returns:

an AccessibleJCheckBoxMenuItem that serves as the AccessibleContext of this AccessibleJCheckBoxMenuItem
