o Calendar(Date)
Creates a calendar with the specified date initialized.

Method Index

o getDate()
Returns the date that the calendar is set to.
o getSelectedColor()
Returns the color that highlights the selected date on the calendar.
o handleEvent(Event)
Processes events for this component.
o minimumSize()
Returns the minimum dimensions to properly display this component.
o paint(Graphics)
Paints this component using the given graphics context.
o preferredSize()
Returns the recommended dimensions to properly display this component.
o reshape(int, int, int, int)
Moves and/or resizes this component.
o setDate(String)
Sets the date selected on the calendar.
o setSelectedColor(Color)
Sets the color used to highlight the selected date on the calendar.
o update(Graphics)
Handles redrawing of this component on the screen.

Constructors

o Calendar 
  public Calendar()
Creates a default calendar with today's date initialized.

o Calendar 
  public Calendar(Date defaultdate)
Creates a calendar with the specified date initialized.

Parameters:
defaultdate - the date to be shown initially

Methods

o getDate 
  public String getDate()
Returns the date that the calendar is set to.

Returns:
the current value of the calendar.
o setDate 
  public void setDate(String date)
Sets the date selected on the calendar.

Parameters:
date - the date that the calendar is to be set to
o getSelectedColor 
  public Color getSelectedColor()
Returns the color that highlights the selected date on the calendar.

Returns:
the current selected color.
o setSelectedColor 
  public void setSelectedColor(Color c)
Sets the color used to highlight the selected date on the calendar.

Parameters:
c - the color that the selected color is to be set to
o handleEvent 
  public boolean handleEvent(Event event)
Processes events for this component. This is a standard Java AWT method which gets called by the AWT to handle this component's events. The default handler for components dispatches to one of the following methods as needed: action(), gotFocus(), lostFocus(), keyDown(), keyUp(), mouseEnter(), mouseExit(), mouseMove(), mouseDrag(), mouseDown(), or mouseUp().

Parameters:
event - the event to handle
Returns:
true if the event was handled and no further action is needed, false to pass the event to this component's parent
Overrides:
handleEvent in class Component
See Also:
action, gotFocus, lostFocus, keyDown, keyUp, mouseEnter, mouseExit, mouseMove, mouseDrag, mouseDown, mouseUp
o reshape 
  public void reshape(int x,
                      int y,
                      int width,
                      int height)
Moves and/or resizes this component. This is a standard Java AWT method which gets called to move and/or resize this component. Components that are in containers with layout managers should not call this method, but rely on the layout manager instead.

Parameters:
x - horizontal position in the parent's coordinate space
y - vertical position in the parent's coordinate space
width - the new width
height - the new height
Overrides:
reshape in class Component
o update 
  public void update(Graphics g)
Handles redrawing of this component on the screen. This is a standard Java AWT method which gets called by the Java AWT (repaint()) to handle repainting this component on the screen. The graphics context clipping region is set to the bounding rectangle of this component and its <0,0> coordinate is this component's top-left corner. Typically this method paints the background color to clear the component's drawing space, sets graphics context to be the foreground color, and then calls paint() to draw the component. It is overridden here to reduce flicker by eliminating the uneeded clearing of the background.

Parameters:
g - the graphics context
Overrides:
update in class Component
See Also:
repaint, paint
o paint 
  public void paint(Graphics g)
Paints this component using the given graphics context. This is a standard Java AWT method which typically gets called by the AWT to handle painting this component. It paints this component using the given graphics context. The graphics context clipping region is set to the bounding rectangle of this component and its <0,0> coordinate is this component's top-left corner.

Parameters:
g - the graphics context used for painting
Overrides:
paint in class Container
See Also:
repaint, update
o preferredSize 
  public Dimension preferredSize()
Returns the recommended dimensions to properly display this component. This is a standard Java AWT method which gets called to determine the recommended size of this component.

Returns:
the preferred dimensions for the calender (250 x 200 pixels).
Overrides:
preferredSize in class Container
See Also:
minimumSize
o minimumSize 
  public Dimension minimumSize()
Returns the minimum dimensions to properly display this component. This is a standard Java AWT method which gets called to determine the minimum size of this component.

Returns:
the minimum dimensions needed for the calender (250 x 200 pixels).
Overrides:
minimumSize in class Container
See Also:
preferredSize
