Subclasses:
JScrollPane.ScrollBar

public class JScrollBar
extends JComponent
implements java.awt.Adjustable, Accessible
An implementation of a scrollbar. The user positions the knob in the scrollbar to determine the contents of the viewing area. The program typically adjusts the display so that the end of the scrollbar represents the end of the displayable contents, or 100% of the contents. The start of the scrollbar is the beginning of the displayable contents, or 0%. The postion of the knob within those bounds then translates to the corresponding percentage of the displayable contents.

Typically, as the position of the knob in the scrollbar changes a corresponding change is made to the position of the JViewPort on the underlying view, changing the contents of the JViewPort.

Warning: serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.

Constructor Detail

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar(int orientation,
                  int value,
                  int extent,
                  int min,
                  int max)
Creates a scrollbar with the specified orientation, value, extent, mimimum, and maximum. The "extent" is the size of the viewable area. It is also known as the "visible amount".

Note: Use setBlockIncrement to set the block increment to a size slightly smaller than the view's extent. That way, when the user jumps the knob to an adjacent position, one or two lines of the original contents remain in view.

Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if orientation is not one of VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL
See Also:
setOrientation, setValue, setVisibleAmount, setMinimum, setMaximum

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar(int orientation)
Creates a scrollbar with the specified orientation and the following initial values:
 minimum = 0 
 maximum = 100 
 value = 0
 extent = 10
 

JScrollBar

public JScrollBar()
Creates a vertical scrollbar with the following initial values:
 minimum = 0 
 maximum = 100 
 value = 0
 extent = 10

setModel

public void setModel(BoundedRangeModel newModel)

See Also:
getModel

getUnitIncrement

public int getUnitIncrement(int direction)
Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a unit up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks on a scrollbar up/down arrow and uses the result to update the scrollbar's value. Subclasses my override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll up or down one (variable height) line text or one row in a table.

The JScrollPane component creates scrollbars (by default) that override this method and delegate to the viewports Scrollable view, if it has one. The Scrollable interface provides a more specialized version of this method.

Parameters:
direction - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively
Returns:
the value of the unitIncrement property
See Also:
setUnitIncrement, setValue, getScrollableUnitIncrement

setUnitIncrement

public void setUnitIncrement(int unitIncrement)
Sets the unitIncrement property.
Specified by:
setUnitIncrement(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getUnitIncrement

getBlockIncrement

public int getBlockIncrement(int direction)
Returns the amount to change the scrollbar's value by, given a block (usually "page") up/down request. A ScrollBarUI implementation typically calls this method when the user clicks above or below the scrollbar "knob" to change the value up or down by large amount. Subclasses my override this method to compute a value, e.g. the change required to scroll up or down one paragraph in a text document.

The JScrollPane component creates scrollbars (by default) that override this method and delegate to the viewports Scrollable view, if it has one. The Scrollable interface provides a more specialized version of this method.

Parameters:
direction - is -1 or 1 for up/down respectively
Returns:
the value of the blockIncrement property
See Also:
setBlockIncrement, setValue, getScrollableBlockIncrement

setBlockIncrement

public void setBlockIncrement(int blockIncrement)
Sets the blockIncrement property.
Specified by:
setBlockIncrement(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
#setBlockIncrement()

getUnitIncrement

public int getUnitIncrement()
For backwards compatibility with java.awt.Scrollbar.
Specified by:
getUnitIncrement() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getUnitIncrement, getUnitIncrement(int)

getBlockIncrement

public int getBlockIncrement()
For backwards compatibility with java.awt.Scrollbar.
Specified by:
getBlockIncrement() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getBlockIncrement, getBlockIncrement(int)

getValue

public int getValue()
Returns the scrollbar's value.
Specified by:
getValue() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
Returns:
the model's value property
See Also:
setValue

setValue

public void setValue(int value)
Sets the scrollbar's value. This method just forwards the value to the model.
Specified by:
setValue(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getValue, setValue

getVisibleAmount

public int getVisibleAmount()
Returns the scrollbar's extent, aka its "visibleAmount". In many scrollbar look and feel implementations the size of the scrollbar "knob" or "thumb" is proportional to the extent.
Specified by:
getVisibleAmount() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
Returns:
the value of the model's extent property
See Also:
setVisibleAmount

setVisibleAmount

public void setVisibleAmount(int extent)
Set the model's extent property.
Specified by:
setVisibleAmount(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getVisibleAmount, setExtent

getMinimum

public int getMinimum()
Returns the minimum value supported by the scrollbar (usually zero).
Specified by:
getMinimum() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
Returns:
the value of the model's minimum property
See Also:
setMinimum

setMinimum

public void setMinimum(int minimum)
Sets the model's minimum property.
Specified by:
setMinimum(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getMinimum, setMinimum

getMaximum

public int getMaximum()
The maximum value of the scrollbar is maximum - extent.
Specified by:
getMaximum() in interface java.awt.Adjustable
Returns:
the value of the model's maximum property
See Also:
setMaximum

setMaximum

public void setMaximum(int maximum)
Sets the model's maximum property. Note that the scrollbar's value can only be set to maximum - extent.
Specified by:
setMaximum(int) in interface java.awt.Adjustable
See Also:
getMaximum, setMaximum

getValueIsAdjusting

public boolean getValueIsAdjusting()
True if the scrollbar knob is being dragged.
Returns:
the value of the model's valueIsAdjusting property
See Also:
setValueIsAdjusting

setValueIsAdjusting

public void setValueIsAdjusting(boolean b)
Sets the model's valueIsAdjusting property. Scrollbar look and feel implementations should set this property to true when a knob drag begins, and to false when the drag ends. The scrollbar model will not generate ChangeEvents while valueIsAdjusting is true.
See Also:
getValueIsAdjusting, setValueIsAdjusting

setValues

public void setValues(int newValue,
                      int newExtent,
                      int newMin,
                      int newMax)
Sets the four BoundedRangeModel properties after forcing the arguments to obey the usual constraints:
 minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum
 

See Also:
setRangeProperties, setValue, setVisibleAmount, setMinimum, setMaximum

addAdjustmentListener

public void addAdjustmentListener(java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener l)
Adds an AdjustmentListener. Adjustment listeners are notified each time the scrollbar's model changes. Adjustment events are provided for backwards compatability with java.awt.Scrollbar.

Note that the AdjustmentEvents type property will always have a placeholder value of AdjustmentEvent.TRACK because all changes to a BoundedRangeModels value are considered equivalent. To change the value of a BoundedRangeModel one just sets its value property, i.e. model.setValue(123). No information about the origin of the change, e.g. it's a block decrement, is provided. We don't try fabricate the origin of the change here.
