Class Container

public class Container extends Widget

Deprecated: This class is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries, which, due to their inefficiency and complexity, are no longer being maintained and have been abandoned by the java-gnome project. This class may in the future have an equivalent in java-gnome 4.0, try looking for org.gnome.gtk.Container. You should be aware that there is a considerably different API in the new library: the architecture is completely different and most notably internals are no longer exposed to public view.

The Container widget is a base class for container widgets. Widgets that inherit from Container have the ability to contain, position, size, and display one or more other widgets.

Method Detail

add

public void add(Widget widget)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Adds widget to the Container.

Parameters: widget The Widget to be added to this Container.

addListener

public void addListener(ContainerListener listener)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Register an object to handle container events.

getBooleanChildProperty

public boolean getBooleanChildProperty(Widget child, String name)

Deprecated:

Convenience method for retrieving boolean child properties.

Parameters: child A widget which is a child of container. name The name of the property to retrieve.

Returns: The value of the given child property.

getBorderWidth

public int getBorderWidth()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Retrieves the border width for the Container.

Returns: The border width.

getChildProperty

public Value getChildProperty(Widget child, String name)
Get the org.gnu.glib.Value of the given child property (name). Container introduces child properties - these are object properties that are not specific to either the container or the contained widget, but rather to their relation. Typical examples of child properties are the position or pack-type of a widget which is contained in a Box.

NOTE: Prefer using one of the convenience methods over using this method directly.

Parameters: child A widget which is a child of container. name The name of the child property to retrieve.

Returns: The value of the given child property.

getChildren

public Widget[] getChildren()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Get an array of all children of this container.

Returns: An array contain all children of this container or null.

getEventListenerClass

getIntChildProperty

public int getIntChildProperty(Widget child, String name)

Deprecated:

Convenience method for retrieving int child properties.

Parameters: child A widget which is a child of container. name The name of the property to retrieve.

Returns: The value of the given child property.

getResizeMode

public ResizeMode getResizeMode()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Returns the ResizeMode for the Container.

Returns: The ResizeMode for the Container.

getType

public static Type getType()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Retrieve the runtime type used by the GLib library.

remove

public void remove(Widget widget)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Remove a Widget from the Container.

Parameters: widget The Widget to remove from the Container.

removeListener

public void removeListener(ContainerListener listener)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Removes a listener

public void resizeChildren()

Deprecated:

Informs the container to resize all of its' children based on the size requirements of the children.

setBooleanChildProperty

public void setBooleanChildProperty(Widget child, String name, boolean value)

Deprecated:

Convenience method for setting boolean child properties.

Sets the border width for the Container.

Parameters: width The border width.

setChildProperty

Deprecated:

Set the given child property (name) with the given org.gnu.glib.Value in this container. Container introduces child properties - these are object properties that are not specific to either the container or the contained widget, but rather to their relation. Typical examples of child properties are the position or pack-type of a widget which is contained in a Box.

NOTE: Prefer using one of the convenience methods over using this method directly.
