Container (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.Component

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

public class Container
extends Component

A generic Abstract Window Toolkit(AWT) container object is a component that can contain other AWT components.

Components added to a container are tracked in a list. The order of the list will define the components' front-to-back stacking order within the container. If no index is specified when adding a component to a container, it will be added to the end of the list (and hence to the bottom of the stacking order).

Note: For details on the focus subsystem, see How to Use the Focus Subsystem, a section in The Java Tutorial, and the Focus Specification for more information.

Since:

JDK1.0

public Container()

Constructs a new Container. Containers can be extended directly, but are lightweight in this case and must be contained by a parent somewhere higher up in the component tree that is native. (such as Frame for example).

public int getComponentCount()

Gets the number of components in this panel.

Returns:

the number of components in this panel.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

getComponent(int)

@Deprecated
public int countComponents()

Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getComponentCount().

public Component getComponent(int n)

Gets the nth component in this container.

Parameters:

n - the index of the component to get.

Returns:

the n^th component in this container.

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the n^th value does not exist.

public Component[] getComponents()

Gets all the components in this container.

Returns:

an array of all the components in this container.

public Insets getInsets()

Determines the insets of this container, which indicate the size of the container's border.

A Frame object, for example, has a top inset that corresponds to the height of the frame's title bar.

Returns:

the insets of this container.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Insets, LayoutManager

@Deprecated
public Insets insets()

Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getInsets().

public Component add(Component comp)

Appends the specified component to the end of this container. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

Note: If a component has been added to a container that has been displayed, validate must be called on that container to display the new component. If multiple components are being added, you can improve efficiency by calling validate only once, after all the components have been added.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

Returns:

the component argument

See Also:

addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), validate(), JComponent.revalidate()

public Component add(String name,
                     Component comp)

Adds the specified component to this container. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

This method is obsolete as of 1.1. Please use the method add(Component, Object) instead.

See Also:

add(Component, Object)

public Component add(Component comp,
                     int index)

Adds the specified component to this container at the given position. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

Note: If a component has been added to a container that has been displayed, validate must be called on that container to display the new component. If multiple components are being added, you can improve efficiency by calling validate only once, after all the components have been added.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

index - the position at which to insert the component, or -1 to append the component to the end

Returns:

the component comp

See Also:

addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), remove(int), validate(), JComponent.revalidate()

public final void setComponentZOrder(Component comp,
                                     int index)

Moves the specified component to the specified z-order index in the container. The z-order determines the order that components are painted; the component with the highest z-order paints first and the component with the lowest z-order paints last. Where components overlap, the component with the lower z-order paints over the component with the higher z-order.

If the component is a child of some other container, it is removed from that container before being added to this container. The important difference between this method and java.awt.Container.add(Component, int) is that this method doesn't call removeNotify on the component while removing it from its previous container unless necessary and when allowed by the underlying native windowing system. This way, if the component has the keyboard focus, it maintains the focus when moved to the new position.

This property is guaranteed to apply only to lightweight non-Container components.

Note: Not all platforms support changing the z-order of heavyweight components from one container into another without the call to removeNotify. There is no way to detect whether a platform supports this, so developers shouldn't make any assumptions.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be moved

index - the position in the container's list to insert the component, where getComponentCount() appends to the end

Throws:

NullPointerException - if comp is null

IllegalArgumentException - if comp is one of the container's parents

IllegalArgumentException - if index is not in the range [0, getComponentCount()] for moving between containers, or not in the range [0, getComponentCount()-1] for moving inside a container

IllegalArgumentException - if adding a container to itself

IllegalArgumentException - if adding a Window to a container

Since:

1.5

See Also:

getComponentZOrder(java.awt.Component)

public final int getComponentZOrder(Component comp)

Returns the z-order index of the component inside the container. The higher a component is in the z-order hierarchy, the lower its index. The component with the lowest z-order index is painted last, above all other child components.

Parameters:

comp - the component being queried

Returns:

the z-order index of the component; otherwise returns -1 if the component is null or doesn't belong to the container

Since:

1.5

See Also:

setComponentZOrder(java.awt.Component, int)

public void add(Component comp,
                Object constraints)

Adds the specified component to the end of this container. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

Note: If a component has been added to a container that has been displayed, validate must be called on that container to display the new component. If multiple components are being added, you can improve efficiency by calling validate only once, after all the components have been added.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this component

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), validate(), JComponent.revalidate(), LayoutManager

public void add(Component comp,
                Object constraints,
                int index)

Adds the specified component to this container with the specified constraints at the specified index. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to the this container's layout using the specified constraints object. This is a convenience method for addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int).

Note: If a component has been added to a container that has been displayed, validate must be called on that container to display the new component. If multiple components are being added, you can improve efficiency by calling validate only once, after all the components have been added.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this

index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component; -1 means insert at the end component

See Also:

addImpl(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object, int), validate(), JComponent.revalidate(), remove(int), LayoutManager

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

Adds the specified component to this container at the specified index. This method also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object via the addLayoutComponent method.

The constraints are defined by the particular layout manager being used. For example, the BorderLayout class defines five constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH, BorderLayout.SOUTH, BorderLayout.EAST, BorderLayout.WEST, and BorderLayout.CENTER.

The GridBagLayout class requires a GridBagConstraints object. Failure to pass the correct type of constraints object results in an IllegalArgumentException.

If the layout manager implements both the LayoutManager and LayoutManager2 interfaces, the LayoutManager2 methods are called.

Note that if the component already exists in this container or a child of this container, it is removed from that container before being added to this container.

This is the method to override if a program needs to track every add request to a container as all other add methods defer to this one. An overriding method should usually include a call to the superclass's version of the method:

super.addImpl(comp, constraints, index)

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

constraints - an object expressing layout constraints for this component

index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component, where -1 means append to the end

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if index is invalid

IllegalArgumentException - if adding the container's parent to itself

IllegalArgumentException - if comp has been added to the Container more than once

IllegalArgumentException - if adding a window to a container

Overrides:

getAlignmentY in class Component

public void paint(Graphics g)

Paints the container. This forwards the paint to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.paint(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, paint() will not be forwarded to that child.

Overrides:

paint in class Component

Parameters:

g - the specified Graphics window

See Also:

Component.update(Graphics)

public void update(Graphics g)

Updates the container. This forwards the update to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.update(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, update() will not be forwarded to that child.

Overrides:

update in class Component

Parameters:

g - the specified Graphics window

See Also:

Component.update(Graphics)

public void print(Graphics g)

Prints the container. This forwards the print to any lightweight components that are children of this container.

public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType)

Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this Container. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.

You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a Container c for its container listeners with the following code:

ContainerListener[] cls = (ContainerListener[])(c.getListeners(ContainerListener.class));

If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.

Overrides:

getListeners in class Component

Parameters:

listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener

Returns:

an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this container, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added

Throws:

ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener

Since:

1.3

getContainerListeners()

protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)

Processes events on this container. If the event is a ContainerEvent, it invokes the processContainerEvent method, else it invokes its superclass's processEvent.

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Overrides:

processEvent in class Component

Parameters:

e - the event

See Also:

protected void processContainerEvent(ContainerEvent e)

Processes container events occurring on this container by dispatching them to any registered ContainerListener objects. NOTE: This method will not be called unless container events are enabled for this component; this happens when one of the following occurs:

• A ContainerListener object is registered via addContainerListener
• Container events are enabled via enableEvents

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Parameters:

e - the container event

See Also:

public Component getComponentAt(int x,
                                int y)

Locates the component that contains the x,y position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. This is determined by finding the component closest to the index 0 that claims to contain the given point via Component.contains(), except that Components which have native peers take precedence over those which do not (i.e., lightweight Components).

Overrides:

getComponentAt in class Component

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate

y - the y 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; otherwise the top-most child is returned.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Component.contains(int, int)

@Deprecated
public Component locate(int x,
                                   int y)

Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getComponentAt(int, int).

Overrides:

locate in class Component

public Component getComponentAt(Point p)

Gets the component that contains the specified point.

Overrides:

getComponentAt in class Component

Parameters:

p - the point.

Returns:

returns the component that contains the point, or null if the component does not contain the point.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Component.contains(int, int)

public Point getMousePosition(boolean allowChildren)
                       throws HeadlessException

Returns the position of the mouse pointer in this Container's coordinate space if the Container is under the mouse pointer, otherwise returns null. This method is similar to Component.getMousePosition() with the exception that it can take the Container's children into account. If allowChildren is false, this method will return a non-null value only if the mouse pointer is above the Container directly, not above the part obscured by children. If allowChildren is true, this method returns a non-null value if the mouse pointer is above Container or any of its descendants.

Parameters:

allowChildren - true if children should be taken into account

Returns:

mouse coordinates relative to this Component, or null

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true

Since:

1.5

See Also:

Component.getMousePosition()

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.

The findComponentAt method is different from getComponentAt in that getComponentAt only searches the Container's immediate children; if the containing component is a Container, findComponentAt will search that child to find a nested component.

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate

y - the y 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.

Since:

1.2

See Also:

Component.contains(int, int), getComponentAt(int, int)

public Component findComponentAt(Point p)

Locates the visible child component that contains the specified point. 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.

The findComponentAt method is different from getComponentAt in that getComponentAt only searches the Container's immediate children; if the containing component is a Container, findComponentAt will search that child to find a nested component.

Parameters:

p - the point.

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.

Since:

1.2

See Also:

Component.contains(int, int), getComponentAt(int, int)

public void addNotify()

Overrides:

addNotify in class Component

See Also:

Component.isDisplayable(), removeNotify()

public void removeNotify()

public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id,
                                  Set<? extends AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)

Sets the focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Container.

The default values for a Container's focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.

Identifier Meaning Default KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal forward keyboard traversal TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal reverse keyboard traversal SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go up one focus traversal cycle none KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go down one focus traversal cycle none To disable a traversal key, use an empty Set; Collections.EMPTY_SET is recommended.

Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Container. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.

If a value of null is specified for the Set, this Container inherits the Set from its parent. If all ancestors of this Container have null specified for the Set, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is used.

Overrides:

setFocusTraversalKeys in class Component

Parameters:

id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

keystrokes - the Set of AWTKeyStroke for the specified operation

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

getFocusTraversalKeys(int), KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

public Set<AWTKeyStroke> getFocusTraversalKeys(int id)

Returns the Set of focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Container. (See setFocusTraversalKeys for a full description of each key.)

If a Set of traversal keys has not been explicitly defined for this Container, then this Container's parent's Set is returned. If no Set has been explicitly defined for any of this Container's ancestors, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is returned.

Overrides:

getFocusTraversalKeys in class Component

Parameters:

id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

Returns:

the Set of AWTKeyStrokes for the specified operation. The Set will be unmodifiable, and may be empty. null will never be returned.

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

public boolean areFocusTraversalKeysSet(int id)

Returns whether the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Container. If this method returns false, this Container is inheriting the Set from an ancestor, or from the current KeyboardFocusManager.

Overrides:

areFocusTraversalKeysSet in class Component

Parameters:

id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

Returns:

true if the the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component; false otherwise.

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

public boolean isFocusCycleRoot(Container container)

Returns whether the specified Container is the focus cycle root of this Container's focus traversal cycle. Each focus traversal cycle has only a single focus cycle root and each Container which is not a focus cycle root belongs to only a single focus traversal cycle. Containers which are focus cycle roots belong to two cycles: one rooted at the Container itself, and one rooted at the Container's nearest focus-cycle-root ancestor. This method will return true for both such Containers in this case.

Overrides:

isFocusCycleRoot in class Component

Parameters:

container - the Container to be tested

Returns:

true if the specified Container is a focus-cycle- root of this Container; false otherwise

Since:

1.4

public void transferFocusBackward()

Description copied from class: Component

Transfers the focus to the previous component, as though this Component were the focus owner.

Overrides:

transferFocusBackward in class Component

See Also:

Component.requestFocus()

public void setFocusTraversalPolicy(FocusTraversalPolicy policy)

Sets the focus traversal policy that will manage keyboard traversal of this Container's children, if this Container is a focus cycle root. If the argument is null, this Container inherits its policy from its focus- cycle-root ancestor. If the argument is non-null, this policy will be inherited by all focus-cycle-root children that have no keyboard- traversal policy of their own (as will, recursively, their focus-cycle- root children).

If this Container is not a focus cycle root, the policy will be remembered, but will not be used or inherited by this or any other Containers until this Container is made a focus cycle root.

Parameters:

policy - the new focus traversal policy for this Container

Since:

1.4

See Also:

getFocusTraversalPolicy(), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), isFocusCycleRoot(java.awt.Container)

public FocusTraversalPolicy getFocusTraversalPolicy()

Returns the focus traversal policy that will manage keyboard traversal of this Container's children, or null if this Container is not a focus cycle root. If no traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container, then this Container's focus-cycle-root ancestor's policy is returned.

Returns:

this Container's focus traversal policy, or null if this Container is not a focus cycle root.

Since:

1.4

See Also:

setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), isFocusCycleRoot(java.awt.Container)

public boolean isFocusTraversalPolicySet()

Returns whether the focus traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container. If this method returns false, this Container will inherit its focus traversal policy from an ancestor.

Returns:

true if the focus traversal policy has been explicitly set for this Container; false otherwise.

Since:

1.4

public void setFocusCycleRoot(boolean focusCycleRoot)

Sets whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle. Once focus enters a traversal cycle, typically it cannot leave it via focus traversal unless one of the up- or down-cycle keys is pressed. Normal traversal is limited to this Container, and all of this Container's descendants that are not descendants of inferior focus cycle roots. Note that a FocusTraversalPolicy may bend these restrictions, however. For example, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy supports implicit down-cycle traversal.

The alternative way to specify the traversal order of this Container's children is to make this Container a focus traversal policy provider.

Parameters:

focusCycleRoot - indicates whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle

1.4

isFocusCycleRoot(), setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy, setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean)

public boolean isFocusCycleRoot()

Returns whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle. Once focus enters a traversal cycle, typically it cannot leave it via focus traversal unless one of the up- or down-cycle keys is pressed. Normal traversal is limited to this Container, and all of this Container's descendants that are not descendants of inferior focus cycle roots. Note that a FocusTraversalPolicy may bend these restrictions, however. For example, ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy supports implicit down-cycle traversal.

Returns:

whether this Container is the root of a focus traversal cycle

public final void setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean provider)

Sets whether this container will be used to provide focus traversal policy. Container with this property as true will be used to acquire focus traversal policy instead of closest focus cycle root ancestor.

Parameters:

provide - indicates whether this container will be used to provide focus traversal policy

Since:

1.5

See Also:

setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), isFocusTraversalPolicyProvider()

public final boolean isFocusTraversalPolicyProvider()

Returns whether this container provides focus traversal policy. If this property is set to true then when keyboard focus manager searches container hierarchy for focus traversal policy and encounters this container before any other container with this property as true or focus cycle roots then its focus traversal policy will be used instead of focus cycle root's policy.

Returns:

true if this container provides focus traversal policy, false otherwise

Since:

1.5

setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), getFocusTraversalPolicy(), setFocusCycleRoot(boolean), setFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(boolean)

public void transferFocusDownCycle()

Transfers the focus down one focus traversal cycle. If this Container is a focus cycle root, then the focus owner is set to this Container's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is set to this Container. If this Container is not a focus cycle root, then no focus traversal operation occurs.

Since:

1.4

public void applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation o)

Sets the ComponentOrientation property of this container and all components contained within it.

Overrides:

applyComponentOrientation in class Component

Parameters:

o - the new component orientation of this container and the components contained within it.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if orientation is null.

Since:

1.4

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all bound properties of this class, including the following:

• this Container's font ("font")
• this Container's background color ("background")
• this Container's foreground color ("foreground")
• this Container's focusability ("focusable")
• this Container's focus traversal keys enabled state ("focusTraversalKeysEnabled")
• this Container's Set of FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("forwardFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("backwardFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("upCycleFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("downCycleFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's focus traversal policy ("focusTraversalPolicy")
• this Container's focus-cycle-root state ("focusCycleRoot")

Note that if this Container is inheriting a bound property, then no event will be fired in response to a change in the inherited property.

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class Component

Parameters:

listener - the PropertyChangeListener to be added

Component.removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener), addPropertyChangeListener(java.lang.String,java.beans.PropertyChangeListener)

public void addPropertyChangeListener(String propertyName,
                                      PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list for a specific property. The specified property may be user-defined, or one of the following defaults:

• this Container's font ("font")
• this Container's background color ("background")
• this Container's foreground color ("foreground")
• this Container's focusability ("focusable")
• this Container's focus traversal keys enabled state ("focusTraversalKeysEnabled")
• this Container's Set of FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("forwardFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("backwardFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("upCycleFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's Set of DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("downCycleFocusTraversalKeys")
• this Container's focus traversal policy ("focusTraversalPolicy")
• this Container's focus-cycle-root state ("focusCycleRoot")
• this Container's focus-traversal-policy-provider state("focusTraversalPolicyProvider")
• this Container's focus-traversal-policy-provider state("focusTraversalPolicyProvider")
