findComponentAt

public Component findComponentAt(int x,
                                 int y)
Locates the visible child component that contains the specified position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. If the containing child component is a Container, this method will continue searching for the deepest nested child component. Components which are not visible are ignored during the search. findComponentAt differs from getComponentAt, because it recursively searches a Container's children.
Parameters:
x - - x coordinate

Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned.

findComponentAt

public Component findComponentAt(Point p)
Locates the visible child component that contains the specified position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. If the containing child component is a Container, this method will continue searching for the deepest nested child component. Components which are not visible are ignored during the search. findComponentAt differs from getComponentAt, because it recursively searches a Container's children.
Parameters:
p - - the component's location
Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned.

public Component getComponentAt(int x,
                                int y)
Returns the component located at the specified point. This is done by checking whether or not a child component claims to contain this point. The first child component that does is returned. If no child component claims the point, the container itself is returned, unless the point does not exist within this container, in which case null is returned. When components overlap, the first component is returned. The component that is closest to (x, y), containing that location, is returned. Heavyweight components take precedence of lightweight components. This function does not ignore invisible components. If there is an invisible component at (x,y), it will be returned.
Overrides:
getComponentAt in interface Component

x - The X coordinate of the point.
y - The Y coordinate of the point.
Returns:
The component containing the specified point, or null if there is no such point.

getComponentAt

Removes the component at the specified index from this container.
Parameters:
index - The index of the component to remove.

remove

public void remove(Component comp)
Removes the specified component from this container.
Parameters:
comp - The component to remove from this container.

removeAll

public void removeAll()
Removes all components from this container.

removeContainerListener

public void removeContainerListener(ContainerListener listener)
Removes the specified container listener from this object's list of container listeners.
Parameters:
listener - The listener to remove.

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()
Called when this container is removed from its parent container to inform it to destroy its peer. This causes the peers of all child component to be destroyed as well.
Overrides:
removeNotify in interface Component

setComponentZOrder

public final void setComponentZOrder(Component comp,
                                     int index)
Sets the Z ordering for the component comp to index. Components with lower Z order paint above components with higher Z order.
Parameters:
comp - the component for which to change the Z ordering
index - the index to set
Throws:
NullPointerException - if comp == null
IllegalArgumentException - if comp is an ancestor of this container
IllegalArgumentException - if index is not in [0, getComponentCount()] for moving between containers or [0, getComponentCount() - 1] for moving inside this container
IllegalArgumentException - if comp == this
IllegalArgumentException - if comp is a Window
Since:
1.5

setFocusCycleRoot

public void setFocusCycleRoot(boolean focusCycleRoot)
Set whether or not this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle. This Container's focus traversal policy determines the order of focus traversal. Some policies prevent the focus from being transferred between two traversal cycles until an up or down traversal operation is performed. In that case, normal traversal (not up or down) is limited to this Container and all of this Container's descendents that are not descendents of inferior focus cycle roots. In the default case however, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy is in effect, and it supports implicit down-cycle traversal operations.
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - true if this is a focus cycle root, false otherwise
Since:
1.4

setFocusTraversalKeys

public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id,
                                  AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)
Sets the focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Container.
Overrides:
setFocusTraversalKeys in interface Component
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or if keystrokes contains null, or if any Object in keystrokes is not an AWTKeyStroke, or if any keystroke represents a KEY_TYPED event, or if any keystroke already maps to another focus traversal operation for this Container.
Since:
1.4

setFocusTraversalPolicy

public void setFocusTraversalPolicy(FocusTraversalPolicy policy)
If this Container is a focus cycle root, set the focus traversal policy that determines the focus traversal order for its children. If non-null, this policy will be inherited by all inferior focus cycle roots. If policy is null, this Container will inherit its policy from the closest ancestor focus cycle root that's had its policy set.
Parameters:
policy - the new focus traversal policy for this Container or null
Since:
1.4

setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider

public final void setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean b)
Set to true if this container provides a focus traversal policy, false when the root container's focus traversal policy should be used.
Parameters:
b - true if this container provides a focus traversal policy, false when the root container's focus traversal policy should be used
Since:
1.5

setFont

public void setFont(Font f)
Sets the font for this component to the specified font. This is a bound property.
Overrides:
setFont in interface Component
Parameters:
f - the new font for this component

setLayout

public void setLayout(LayoutManager mgr)
Sets the layout manager for this container to the specified layout manager.
Parameters:
mgr - The new layout manager for this container.

transferFocusDownCycle

public void transferFocusDownCycle()
Transfer focus down one focus traversal cycle. If this Container is a focus cycle root, then its default component becomes the focus owner, and this Container becomes the current focus cycle root. No traversal will occur if this Container is not a focus cycle root.
Since:
1.4

update

public void update(Graphics g)
Updates this container. The implementation of this method in this class forwards to any lightweight components in this container. If this method is subclassed, this method should still be invoked as a superclass method so that lightweight components are properly drawn.
Overrides:
update in interface Component
Parameters:
g - The graphics context for this update.

validate

public void validate()
Re-lays out the components in this container.
Overrides:
validate in interface Component

validateTree

protected void validateTree()
Recursively validates the container tree, recomputing any invalid layouts.
