public abstract class Component

extends Object

implements ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

The root of all evil. All graphical representations are subclasses of this giant class, which is designed for screen display and user interaction. This class can be extended directly to build a lightweight component (one not associated with a native window); lightweight components must reside inside a heavyweight window.

This class is Serializable, which has some big implications. A user can save the state of all graphical components in one VM, and reload them in another. Note that this class will only save Serializable listeners, and ignore the rest, without causing any serialization exceptions. However, by making a listener serializable, and adding it to another element, you link in that entire element to the state of this component. To get around this, use the idiom shown in the example below - make listeners non-serializable in inner classes, rather than using this object itself as the listener, if external objects do not need to save the state of this object.

 import java.awt.*;
 import java.awt.event.*;
 import java.io.Serializable;
 class MyApp implements Serializable
 {
   BigObjectThatShouldNotBeSerializedWithAButton bigOne;
   // Serializing aButton will not suck in an instance of MyApp, with its
   // accompanying field bigOne.
   Button aButton = new Button();
   class MyActionListener implements ActionListener
   {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     {
       System.out.println("Hello There");
     }
   }
   MyApp()
   {
     aButton.addActionListener(new MyActionListener());
   }
 }

Status: Incomplete. The event dispatch mechanism is implemented. All other methods defined in the J2SE 1.3 API javadoc exist, but are mostly incomplete or only stubs; except for methods relating to the Drag and Drop, Input Method, and Accessibility frameworks: These methods are present but commented out.

Since:: 1.0

the font ("font")
the background color ("background")
the foreground color ("foreground")
the focusability ("focusable")
the focus key traversal enabled state ("focusTraversalKeysEnabled")
the set of forward traversal keys ("forwardFocusTraversalKeys")

requestFocus

public void requestFocus()

Request that this Component be given the keyboard input focus and that its top-level ancestor become the focused Window. For the request to be granted, the Component must be focusable, displayable and showing and the top-level Window to which it belongs must be focusable. If the request is initially denied on the basis that the top-level Window is not focusable, the request will be remembered and granted when the Window does become focused. Never assume that this Component is the focus owner until it receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. The behaviour of this method is platform-dependent. requestFocusInWindow() should be used instead.
See Also:
(), FocusEvent, (FocusListener), (), (), ()

requestFocus

protected boolean requestFocus(boolean temporary)

Request that this Component be given the keyboard input focus and that its top-level ancestor become the focused Window. For the request to be granted, the Component must be focusable, displayable and showing and the top-level Window to which it belongs must be focusable. If the request is initially denied on the basis that the top-level Window is not focusable, the request will be remembered and granted when the Window does become focused. Never assume that this Component is the focus owner until it receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. The behaviour of this method is platform-dependent. requestFocusInWindow() should be used instead. If the return value is false, the request is guaranteed to fail. If the return value is true, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed or something in the native windowing system intervenes, preventing this Component's top-level ancestor from becoming focused. This method is meant to be called by derived lightweight Components that want to avoid unnecessary repainting when they know a given focus transfer need only be temporary.
Parameters:
temporary - true if the focus request is temporary
Returns:
true if the request has a chance of success
Since:
1.4
See Also:
(), FocusEvent, (FocusListener), (), (), ()

requestFocusInWindow

public boolean requestFocusInWindow()

Request that this component be given the keyboard input focus, if its top-level ancestor is the currently focused Window. A FOCUS_GAINED event will be fired if and only if this request is successful. To be successful, the component must be displayable, showing, and focusable, and its ancestor top-level Window must be focused. If the return value is false, the request is guaranteed to fail. If the return value is true, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed or something in the native windowing system intervenes, preventing this Component's top-level ancestor from becoming focused.
Returns:
true if the request has a chance of success
Since:
1.4
See Also:

requestFocusInWindow

protected boolean requestFocusInWindow(boolean temporary)

Request that this component be given the keyboard input focus, if its top-level ancestor is the currently focused Window. A FOCUS_GAINED event will be fired if and only if this request is successful. To be successful, the component must be displayable, showing, and focusable, and its ancestor top-level Window must be focused. If the return value is false, the request is guaranteed to fail. If the return value is true, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed or something in the native windowing system intervenes, preventing this Component's top-level ancestor from becoming focused. This method is meant to be called by derived lightweight Components that want to avoid unnecessary repainting when they know a given focus transfer need only be temporary.
Parameters:
temporary - true if the focus request is temporary
Returns:
true if the request has a chance of success

1.4

setCursor

public void setCursor(Cursor cursor)

Sets the cursor for this component to the specified cursor. The cursor is displayed when the point is contained by the component, and the component is visible, displayable, and enabled. This is inherited by subcomponents unless they set their own cursor.

setFocusTraversalKeys

public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id,
                                  AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)

Sets the focus traversal keys for one of the three focus traversal directions supported by Components: KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS. Normally, the default values should match the operating system's native choices. To disable a given traversal, use Collections.EMPTY_SET. The event dispatcher will consume PRESSED, RELEASED, and TYPED events for the specified key, although focus can only transfer on PRESSED or RELEASED.
The defaults are:
Identifier Meaning Default
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal forward traversal TAB on KEY_PRESSED, Ctrl-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal backward traversal Shift-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, Ctrl-Shift-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go up a traversal cycle None
If keystrokes is null, this component's focus traversal key set is inherited from one of its ancestors. If none of its ancestors has its own set of focus traversal keys, the focus traversal keys are set to the defaults retrieved from the current KeyboardFocusManager. If not null, the set must contain only AWTKeyStrokes that are not already focus keys and are not KEY_TYPED events.
Parameters:
id - one of FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
keystrokes - a set of keys, or null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if id or keystrokes is invalid

setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled

public void setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(boolean focusTraversalKeysEnabled)

Enable or disable focus traversal keys on this Component.
