Interface MDIComponent

All Superinterfaces:

RootPaneContainer

All Known Implementing Classes:

PEDialog, PEFrame, PEInternalDialog, PEInternalFrame

public interface MDIComponent
extends RootPaneContainer

A common interface for UI components being hosted by a Multiple Document Interface. Concrete implementation may rely on a JFrame or a JInternalFrame. The need for this interface stems from the fact that the only superclass common to JFrame and JInternalFrame is java.awt.Container, which doesn't contain some very important methods for our purpose, e.g. dispose() or setDefaultCloseOperation(). Yet these method are implemented in both JFrame and JInternalFrame...

Method Summary

void	addKeyListener(KeyListener l)
void	dispose() makes this container unselected, unvisible or closed
Rectangle	getBounds() gets the bounds of the component wrapped by this DockablePanel
Component	getFocusOwner()
JMenuBar	getJMenuBar()
Point	getLocation()
Component	getMostRecentFocusOwner()
Dimension	getPreferredSize()
Dimension	getSize()
boolean	isVisible() returns whether the panel is currently visible or not
void	pack()
void	reshape(int x, int y, int w, int h)
void	setDefaultCloseOperation(int i) control the window-closing operation
void	setJMenuBar(JMenuBar b)
void	setLocation(int x, int y)
void	setResizable(boolean b)
void	setSize(Dimension d)
void	setTitle(String title) set the title of this container
void	setVisible(boolean v) set the visible state of the component
void	toBack()
void	toFront()
