public class TransparencyTrickUtils
extends Object
This class implements a painting method that is used to simulate transparent Components. If you use this class you also need to implement TransparencyTrick. Otherwise visually intersecting your Component with another Component that uses these routines will result in a lock up.

o TransparencyTrickUtils()

Method Index

o paintComponent(Component, Component, Rectangle, Graphics)
This method paints one component that intersects with the invisible component.
o paintComponentsBehind(Component, Graphics)
This method implements the painting of transparent components.

Methods

o paintComponentsBehind 
  public static void paintComponentsBehind(Component drawingComponent,
                                           Graphics g)
This method implements the painting of transparent components. It does this by painting the component's parent and all the other components that intersect with the invisible component.

Parameters:
drawingComponent - the invisible component "being drawn"
g - the graphics context to use for drawing
o paintComponent 
  public static void paintComponent(Component drawingComponent,
                                    Component intersectingComponent,
                                    Rectangle myBounds,
                                    Graphics g)
This method paints one component that intersects with the invisible component. It is a utility routine called by paintComponentsBehind().

Parameters:
drawingComponent - the invisible component "being drawn"
intersectingComponent - the component that intersects the drawingComponent
myBounds - the bounds of the invisible component
g - the graphics context to use for drawing
