public class JRootPane

extends JComponent

implements Accessible

A lightweight container used behind the scenes by JFrame, 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.

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

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);
 

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());
 

The layeredPane is the parent of all children in the JRootPane -- 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 the JRootPane. 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 the JRootPane. (bounds - insets)
3. The menuBar is positioned at the upper edge of the layeredPane.
4. The contentPane fills the entire viewable area, minus the menuBar, if present.

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 opaque JComponent to exist in the containment hieararchy 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 in paintComponent.

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

setJMenuBar

public void setJMenuBar(JMenuBar menu)

Adds or changes the menu bar used in the layered pane.

Parameters:

menu - the JMenuBar to add

setMenuBar

public void setMenuBar(JMenuBar menu)

Deprecated. As of Swing version 1.0.3 replaced by setJMenuBar(JMenuBar menu).

Specifies the menu bar value.

Parameters:

menu - the JMenuBar to add.

getJMenuBar

public JMenuBar getJMenuBar()

Returns the menu bar from the layered pane.

Returns:

the JMenuBar used in the pane

getMenuBar

public JMenuBar getMenuBar()

Deprecated. As of Swing version 1.0.3 replaced by getJMenubar().

Returns the menu bar value.

Returns:

the JMenuBar used in the pane

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 hiearchy. 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 - (a runtime exception) if the content pane parameter is null

getContentPane

public Container 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 - (a runtime exception) if the layered pane parameter is null

getLayeredPane

public JLayeredPane 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. For example, only one JInternalFrame is ever active when using a DefaultDesktop, and any inactive JInternalFrames' glass panes are made visible so that clicking anywhere within an inactive JInternalFrame can activate it.

Parameters:

glass - the Component to use as the glass pane for this JRootPane

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the glass parameter is null

getGlassPane

public Component 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 calls revalidate, 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 in class JComponent

Returns:

true

See Also:

JComponent.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 the glassPane isn't visible. Therefore, the return value here depends upon the visiblity of the glassPane.

Overrides:

isOptimizedDrawingEnabled in class JComponent

Returns:

true if this component's children don't overlap

addNotify

public void addNotify()

Register ourselves with the SystemEventQueueUtils as a new root pane.

Overrides:

addNotify in class JComponent

See Also:

JComponent.registerKeyboardAction(java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.lang.String, javax.swing.KeyStroke, int)

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()

Unregister ourselves from SystemEventQueueUtils.

Overrides:

removeNotify in class JComponent

See Also:

addNotify()

setDefaultButton

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

protected void addImpl(Component comp,
                       Object constraints,
                       int index)

Overridden to enforce the position of the glass component as the zero child.

Overrides:

addImpl in class Container

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), LayoutManager, LayoutManager2

paramString

protected String 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 in class JComponent

Returns:

a string representation of this JRootPane.

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JRootPane. For root panes, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJRootPane. A new AccessibleJRootPane instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:

getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible

Overrides:

getAccessibleContext in class JComponent

Returns:

an AccessibleJRootPane that serves as the AccessibleContext of this JRootPane
