net.shredzone.jshred.swing.JLAFSelector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible

public class JLAFSelector
extends JPanel

This component allows the user to select a Look and Feel.

Currently this is just a JComboBox which allows to select a Look and Feel from the system's list of Look and Feels. Future releases will also add another JComboBox for different auxiliary looks, and a preview area. If you only have limited space available in your GUI, you are advised to pass true to setSmallView(boolean) for future compatibility.

Constructor Detail

JLAFSelector

public JLAFSelector()

Creates a new Look and Feel selector.

Method Detail

setCurrentLAF

public void setCurrentLAF()

Sets the currently used Look and Feel.

setSelectedLAF

public void setSelectedLAF(LookAndFeel laf)

Sets a Look and Feel as current selection, by passing a LookAndFeel object.

Parameters:

laf - LookAndFeel object to set.

setSelectedLAF

public void setSelectedLAF(UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo lafinfo)

Sets a Look and Feel as current selection, by passing a UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo.

Parameters:

lafinfo - UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo object to set.

setSelectedLAF

public void setSelectedLAF(String classname)

Sets a Look and Feel as current selection, by passing a class name. The class name does not necessarily need to exist or be a valid LookAndFeel class. Alternatively you can also pass the name of a LookAndFeel.

Parameters:

classname - LookAndFeel class name to set.

getSelectedLAF

public String getSelectedLAF()

Gets the name of the selected LAF. This may be a class name or a human readable look and feel name.

NOTE: the returned value can be any string. There is no guarantee that the returned string:

• is a valid LookAndFeel class name,
• is a LookAndFeel that is available on this system,
• is a LookAndFeel that is permitted on this system, or
• is a valid class name at all.

Returns:

The selected Look and Feel.

setSmallView

public void setSmallView(boolean small)

Sets if a small view area is to be used by this component. Currently only one JComboBox is used for this component, but it is planned that a future release of the JLAFSelector will consist of two JComboBox and an optional preview area.

If you do not have plenty of space in your GUI, you should invoke this method with true, to hide the preview area (and maybe some other components that are not really necessary).

Currently this method does nothing, since there is no preview area yet.

isSmallView

public boolean isSmallView()

Checks if there is only a small view area available for this component. This is false by default.

Returns:

true: only a small area is available

setLookAndFeel

public static String setLookAndFeel(String laf)

Tries to set a look and feel that was selected by this component. This is a convenience method that tries to set the passed look and feel, which can be either a human readable name or a class name. If this method is unable to set this look and feel, the default look and feel is used.

Parameters:

laf - Look and Feel string to be used. May be null.

Returns:

The class name of the actual Look and Feel that has been set. If no Look and Feel could be set, null will be returned (which should never happen -- famous last words).
