public class JScrollBar

extends JComponent

implements Adjustable, Accessible

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.

 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: IllegalArgumentException

if orientation is not one of VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL

getModel

 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

 public void setUnitIncrement(int unitIncrement)

Sets the unitIncrement property.

See Also:

getUnitIncrement

 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

 public void setBlockIncrement(int blockIncrement)

Sets the blockIncrement property.

 public int getValue()

Returns the scrollbar's value.

Returns:

the model's value property

See Also:

setValue

 public void setValue(int value)

Sets the scrollbar's value. This method just forwards the value to the model.

See Also:

getValue, setValue

 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.

Returns:

the value of the model's extent property

See Also:

setVisibleAmount

 public void setVisibleAmount(int extent)

Set the model's extent property.

See Also:

getVisibleAmount, setExtent

Returns:

the value of the model's minimum property

See Also:

setMinimum

 public void setMinimum(int minimum)

Sets the model's minimum property.

 public int getMaximum()

The maximum value of the scrollbar is maximum - extent.

Returns:

the value of the model's maximum property

See Also:

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.

See Also:

getMaximum, setMaximum

 public boolean getValueIsAdjusting()

True if the scrollbar knob is being dragged.

Returns:

the value of the model's valueIsAdjusting property

See Also:

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

 public void setValues(int newValue,
                       int newExtent,

                       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, setExtent, setMinimum, setMaximum

 public void addAdjustmentListener(AdjustmentListener l)

Adds and 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.

Parameters:

l - the AdjustmentLister to add

See Also:

removeAdjustmentListener, addChangeListener

 public void removeAdjustmentListener(AdjustmentListener l)

Removes an AdjustmentEvent listener.

Parameters:

l - the AdjustmentLister to remove
