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

javax.swing

Class JTabbedPane

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.Component extended by java.awt.Container extended by javax.swing.JComponent extended by javax.swing.JTabbedPane

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants

public class JTabbedPane

extends JComponent

implements Serializable, Accessible, SwingConstants

A component that lets the user switch between a group of components by clicking on a tab with a given title and/or icon. For examples and information on using tabbed panes seeHow to Use Tabbed Panes, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Tabs/components are added to a TabbedPane object by using theaddTab and insertTab methods. A tab is represented by an index corresponding to the position it was added in, where the first tab has an index equal to 0 and the last tab has an index equal to the tab count minus 1.

The TabbedPane uses a SingleSelectionModel to represent the set of tab indices and the currently selected index. If the tab count is greater than 0, then there will always be a selected index, which by default will be initialized to the first tab. If the tab count is 0, then the selected index will be -1.

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.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT

public static final int SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT

setDisplayedMnemonicIndexAt

public void setDisplayedMnemonicIndexAt(int tabIndex, int mnemonicIndex)

Provides a hint to the look and feel as to which character in the text should be decorated to represent the mnemonic. Not all look and feels may support this. A value of -1 indicates either there is no mnemonic for this tab, or you do not wish the mnemonic to be displayed for this tab.

The value of this is updated as the properties relating to the mnemonic change (such as the mnemonic itself, the text...). You should only ever have to call this if you do not wish the default character to be underlined. For example, if the text at tab index 3 was 'Apple Price', with a mnemonic of 'p', and you wanted the 'P' to be decorated, as 'Apple Price', you would have to invokesetDisplayedMnemonicIndex(3, 6) after invokingsetMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_P).

Note that it is the programmer's responsibility to ensure that each tab has a unique mnemonic or unpredictable results may occur.

Parameters:

tabIndex - the index of the tab that the mnemonic refers to

mnemonicIndex - index into the String to underline

Throws:

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if tabIndex is out of range (tabIndex < 0 || tabIndex >= tab count)

[IllegalArgumentException](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang") - will be thrown if mnemonicIndex is >= length of the tab title , or < -1

[setMnemonicAt(int,int)](../../javax/swing/JTabbedPane.html#setMnemonicAt%28int, int%29), getDisplayedMnemonicIndexAt(int)

setMnemonicAt

public void setMnemonicAt(int tabIndex, int mnemonic)

Sets the keyboard mnemonic for accessing the specified tab. The mnemonic is the key which when combined with the look and feel's mouseless modifier (usually Alt) will activate the specified tab.

A mnemonic must correspond to a single key on the keyboard and should be specified using one of the VK_XXX keycodes defined in java.awt.event.KeyEvent. Mnemonics are case-insensitive, therefore a key event with the corresponding keycode would cause the button to be activated whether or not the Shift modifier was pressed.

This will update the displayed mnemonic property for the specified tab.

Parameters:

tabIndex - the index of the tab that the mnemonic refers to

mnemonic - the key code which represents the mnemonic

Throws:

[IndexOutOfBoundsException](../../java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException.html "class in java.lang") - if tabIndex is out of range (tabIndex < 0 || tabIndex >= tab count)
