Constructors

JToolBar

public JToolBar()

Creates a new tool bar; orientation defaults to HORIZONTAL.

JToolBar

public JToolBar(int orientation)

Creates a new tool bar with the specified orientation. The orientation must be either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

Parameters:

orientation - the orientation desired

JToolBar

public JToolBar(String name)

Creates a new tool bar with the specified name. The name is used as the title of the undocked tool bar. The default orientation is HORIZONTAL.

Parameters:

name - the name of the tool bar

Since:

1.3

JToolBar

public JToolBar(String name,
                int orientation)

Creates a new tool bar with a specified name and orientation. All other constructors call this constructor. If orientation is an invalid value, an exception will be thrown.

Parameters:

name - the name of the tool bar

orientation - the initial orientation -- it must be either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if orientation is neither HORIZONTAL nor VERTICAL

Since:

1.3

Methods

getUI

public ToolBarUI getUI()

Returns the tool bar's current UI.

See Also:

setUI(javax.swing.plaf.ToolBarUI)

setUI

public void setUI(ToolBarUI ui)

Sets the L&F object that renders this component.

Parameters:

ui - the ToolBarUI L&F object

See Also:

UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

updateUI

public void updateUI()

Notification from the UIFactory that the L&F has changed. Called to replace the UI with the latest version from the UIFactory.

Overrides:

updateUI in class JComponent

See Also:

JComponent.updateUI()

getUIClassID

public String getUIClassID()

Returns the name of the L&F class that renders this component.

Overrides:

getUIClassID in class JComponent

Returns:

the string "ToolBarUI"

See Also:

JComponent.getUIClassID(), UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)

getComponentIndex

public int getComponentIndex(Component c)

Returns the index of the specified component. (Note: Separators occupy index positions.)

Parameters:

c - the Component to find

Returns:

an integer indicating the component's position, where 0 is first

getComponentAtIndex

public Component getComponentAtIndex(int i)

Returns the component at the specified index.

Parameters:

i - the component's position, where 0 is first

Returns:

the Component at that position, or null for an invalid index

setMargin

public void setMargin(Insets m)

Sets the margin between the tool bar's border and its buttons. Setting to null causes the tool bar to use the default margins. The tool bar's default Border object uses this value to create the proper margin. However, if a non-default border is set on the tool bar, it is that Border object's responsibility to create the appropriate margin space (otherwise this property will effectively be ignored).

Parameters:

m - an Insets object that defines the space between the border and the buttons

See Also:

Insets

getMargin

public Insets getMargin()

Returns the margin between the tool bar's border and its buttons.

Returns:

an Insets object containing the margin values

See Also:

Insets

isBorderPainted

public boolean isBorderPainted()

Gets the borderPainted property.

Returns:

the value of the borderPainted property

See Also:

setBorderPainted(boolean)

setBorderPainted

public void setBorderPainted(boolean b)

Sets the borderPainted property, which is true if the border should be painted. The default value for this property is true. Some look and feels might not implement painted borders; they will ignore this property.

Parameters:

b - if true, the border is painted

See Also:

isBorderPainted()

paintBorder

protected void paintBorder(Graphics g)

Paints the tool bar's border if the borderPainted property is true.

Overrides:

paintBorder in class JComponent

Parameters:

g - the Graphics context in which the painting is done

See Also:

JComponent.paint(java.awt.Graphics), JComponent.setBorder(javax.swing.border.Border)

isFloatable

public boolean isFloatable()

Gets the floatable property.

Returns:

the value of the floatable property

See Also:

setFloatable(boolean)

setFloatable

public void setFloatable(boolean b)

Sets the floatable property, which must be true for the user to move the tool bar. Typically, a floatable tool bar can be dragged into a different position within the same container or out into its own window. The default value of this property is true. Some look and feels might not implement floatable tool bars; they will ignore this property.

Parameters:

b - if true, the tool bar can be moved; false otherwise

See Also:

isFloatable()

getOrientation

public int getOrientation()

Returns the current orientation of the tool bar. The value is either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

Returns:

an integer representing the current orientation -- either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL

See Also:

setOrientation(int)

setOrientation

public void setOrientation(int o)

Sets the orientation of the tool bar. The orientation must have either the value HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL. If orientation is an invalid value, an exception will be thrown.

Parameters:

o - the new orientation -- either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if orientation is neither HORIZONTAL nor VERTICAL

See Also:

getOrientation()
