Method Detail

getTabParent

TabPane getTabParent()

Gets the parent of this component.

Returns:

the parent

getBounds

Rectangle getBounds()

Gets the current location and size of this component.

Returns:

the size and location

setBounds

void setBounds(Rectangle bounds)

Sets the current location and size of this component.

Parameters:

bounds - the size and location

setZOrder

void setZOrder(int order)

Sets the z order of this component. The z order tells which component to paint first, as lower the order as earlier a component is to be painted. If two components overlap, then the one with the higher z order appears in front of the one with the lower z order. If two components have the same z order, then it is unspecified which component is painted first.
A z-order is at least 0 and must not exceed the number of TabPaneComponents on the parent TabPane. The implementation may increase or decrease z-orders to prevent collisions between components with the same order.

Parameters:

order - the order, can be any integer.

getZOrder

int getZOrder()

Gets the value of the z order.

Returns:

the z order

See Also:

setZOrder(int)

getOverlap

Insets getOverlap(TabPaneComponent other)

Tells how much of this component may be overlapped by another component other.

Parameters:

other - another component which may be painted over this component

Returns:

the border of this component that may not be visible, not null

getMinimumSize

Dimension getMinimumSize()

Gets the minimal size this component should have

Returns:

the minimal size

getPreferredSize

Dimension getPreferredSize()

Gets the preferred size of this component

Returns:

the preferred size

getMaximumSize

Dimension getMaximumSize()

Gets the maximal size this component should have

Returns:

the maximal size

setPaneVisible

void setPaneVisible(boolean visible)

Changes the visibility state of this component. Invisible components should be removed from any parent.

Parameters:

visible - the new state

isPaneVisible

boolean isPaneVisible()

Tells whether this component is visible or not.

Returns:

true if visible, false otherwise

setOrientation

void setOrientation(TabPlacement orientation)

Tells this component how to paint itself.

Parameters:

orientation - the orientation, not null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if orientation is null
