public class LafMenu
extends JMenu

Allow user to change look and feel of Swing app on the fly. Selections can be persisted to backing store so that changes affect subsequent sessions. Manually call resetLaf() to initialize application look and feel. Extended applet available

To test LAFs with ANT, try something like:

 <java classname="com.iamsoft.util.ui.swing.LafMenu" fork="true">
        <classpath>
                <pathelement location="${libDir}"/>
                <pathelement location="${log4jDir}/dist/lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar"/>
                <pathelement location="${java.home}/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar"/>
                <fileset dir="${lafsDir}" includes="*.jar"/>
        </classpath>
        <arg value="swingset"/>

Field Details

POTENTIAL_LOOK_AND_FEELS

public static final Set<String> POTENTIAL_LOOK_AND_FEELS

Unmodifiable set of look and feels we can try to make available. To limit or extend available LAFs, add or remove class names. By default, this set includes all installed look and feels plus a few others. To request support for additional look and feels, e-mail info@iamsoft.com. If this set is updated after some menus are instantiated, the premature menus will not reflect the updates. Actually, the set is unmodifiable so some of the preceding makes no sense (TODO).

Constructor Details

LafMenu

public LafMenu()

LafMenu

public LafMenu(Preferences pPrefNode)

LafMenu

public LafMenu(Preferences pPrefNode,
 Set<String> pLookAndFeels)

LafMenu

public LafMenu(Preferences pPrefNode,
 Set<String> pLookAndFeels,
 Collection<? extends Component> pWidgets)

By default, constructing menu will not update UIManager LAF.

Parameters:

pPrefNode - Preferences node used to persist look and feel in between invocations.

pLookAndFeels - Set of 'look and feel' implementation class names.

pWidgets - Components to be updated when LAF changes.

Method Details

getWidgets

public Collection<? extends Component> getWidgets()

Set of components to be updated when look and feel changes. If null, all components are updated.

setWidgets

public void setWidgets(Collection<? extends Component> pWidgets)

getPrefNode

public Preferences getPrefNode()

Where LAF info will be stored persistently. If null (the default), data will not be persisted between invocations. Use a user node so that each login may be associated with a different LAF.

See Also:

• getPrefKey()

setPrefNode

public void setPrefNode(Preferences pPrefNode)

getPrefKey

public String getPrefKey()

Key used to store LAF info (in Windows registry or equivalent backing store). If the default is used, there may be overlap between applications. Set to null to prevent persisent updates. Defaults to 'laf'.

See Also:

• getPrefNode()

setPrefKey

public void setPrefKey(String pPrefKey)

getDefaultLaf

public String getDefaultLaf()

LAF to use if nothing specified in backing store. Defaults to system look and feel.

setDefaultLaf

public void setDefaultLaf(String pDefaultLaf)

getInsertionIdx

protected int getInsertionIdx(JRadioButtonMenuItem pLafItem)

Determine where new LAF should be inserted into menu. Attempts to organize LAFs alphabetically. Manually altering menu item order can make this method behave strangely.

resetLaf

public void resetLaf()
              throws ClassNotFoundException,
InstantiationException,
IllegalAccessException,
UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

Update LAF for UIManager and widgets.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

InstantiationException

IllegalAccessException

UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

resetLaf

public void resetLaf(boolean pUpdateWidgets)
              throws ClassNotFoundException,
InstantiationException,
IllegalAccessException,
UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

Update look and feel based on data in backing store (or default LAF if backing store data unavailable). If this is called before GUI items are constructed, use 'false' as argument. resetLaf(false) should be called as soon as possible since Swing widget sometimes look screwy when the LAF is changed after they've been instantiated.

Parameters:

pUpdateWidgets - If false, only update UIManager.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

InstantiationException

IllegalAccessException

UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

setLookAndFeel

protected void setLookAndFeel(String pClassName)
                       throws ClassNotFoundException,
InstantiationException,
IllegalAccessException,
UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

Update look and feel in UIManager and all components in collection.

Parameters:

pClassName - Name of candidate look and feel class.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

InstantiationException

IllegalAccessException

UnsupportedLookAndFeelException

• getWidgets()

main

public static void main(String[] pLookAndFeels)

Display a simple frame to test menu. Pass arg 'swingset' to see menu added to Java swingset demo (must include JAR in classpath).

Parameters:

pLookAndFeels - Look and feels.
