Class TopLevel

java.lang.Object
  ucb.gui.TopLevel

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, EventListener

public class TopLevel
extends Object
implements ActionListener

A top-level window with optional menu bar. A TopLevel primarily exists to contain Widgets. The general technique is to extend TopLevel. Most of the methods here are protected: the intent is that any calls to them are from within your extension class, thus allowing the latter to retain control over its size, menu, etc.

Constructor Summary

protected

TopLevel(String title, boolean exitOnClose) A new TopLevel with the given TITLE (which window managers typically display on the border).

Constructor Detail

TopLevel

protected TopLevel(String title,

                                int height)

Set my preferred size to WIDTHxHEIGHT pixels.

setMinimumSize

protected void setMinimumSize(int width,
                              int height)

Set my minimum size to WIDTHxHEIGHT pixels.

setMaximumSize

protected void setMaximumSize(int width,
                              int height)

Set my maximum size to WIDTHxHEIGHT pixels.

getWidth

public int getWidth()

My current width in pixels.

getHeight

public int getHeight()

My current height in pixels.

addMenuButton

protected void addMenuButton(String label,
                             Object receiver,
                             String funcName)

Add a new simple menu button labeled LABEL to my menus, which when clicked, invokes a method named FUNCNAME on RECEIVER, sending LABEL as data. LABEL has the form MENUNAME->SUBMENU1->...SUBMENUn->NAME, where n >= 0, (for example, "File->Open" or "File->New->Project"). This label denotes "the item labeled NAME in the submenu named SUBMENUn in the ... in the menu-bar entry MENUNAME. FUNCNAME is the simple name of a method of the object RECEIVER whose signature is void FUNCNAME (String label). The new button appears at the end of its menu. Likewise, any previously non-existing menus get created at the end of the menu bar or their containing menu.

protected void addMenuButton(String label,
                             String funcName)

Add a new simple menu button labeled LABEL to my menus, which when clicked invokes a function named FUNCNAME on me, sending LABEL as data.

Add a radio button labeled LABEL to my menus, belonging to the group of buttons called GROUPNAME. Initially, the button is selected iff SELECTED. Only one radio button in a group is selected at a time (see @{item #isSelected}); when the user clicks one, it becomes selected and any other button in the group is deselected. If FUNCNAME is non-null, the method of that name is invoked on RECEIVER, sending LABEL as its argument.
