mayHaveChildren

boolean mayHaveChildren()

Description copied from interface: Element

This method is part of the Element interface to provide a convenient way of determining whether an object may have children without having to test the object's type with the instanceof operator or having to downcast to a more specific type.

An implementation of Element that represents a leaf in a tree structure should return false from this method. An implementation of Element that could represent a non-leaf in a tree structure should return true from this method, even if it does not currently contain any children.

Specified by:

mayHaveChildren in interface Element

Returns:

true if this Element may contain children.

getChildren

java.util.Iterator getChildren()

Description copied from interface: Element

This method is part of the Element interface to provide a convenient way of getting an Iterator over any contained child Elements without having to test the object's type with the instanceof operator or having to downcast to a more specific type.

An implementation of Element that represents a leaf in a tree structure should return null from this method. An implementation of Element that could represent a non-leaf in a tree structure should return either an Iterator over the child Elements or null if there are no children.

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Element

Returns:

an Iterator of any children held by this Element, else null.

getAttributes

Attributes getAttributes()

Description copied from interface: Element

This method returns an Attributes object that encodes the attributes of the Element. Changing the attribute settings on the return object changes the element attributes. Subclasses should use their super class attributes object to define their own attributes. This allows subclasses to inherit their super class attributes. If a subclass does not wish to inherit attributes, they should first call getAttributes().clear() and define new attributes.

Specified by:

getAttributes in interface Element

getData

java.lang.Object getData()

Description copied from interface: Element

Returns the data object associated with this Element. Implementations will often simply return this, since the Element is often its own data object. If the implementation returns an object other than this, be sure to set ElementAttributes.DECORATES_DATA_ELEMENT.

Specified by:

getData in interface Element

Returns:

the data object associated with this Element instance.

getShortLabel

java.lang.String getShortLabel()

Gets a short label for display purpose.

Specified by:

getShortLabel in interface Displayable

Returns:

a short descriptive label. For example; an unqaualified file name.

getLongLabel

java.lang.String getLongLabel()

Gets a fully qualified label for display purpose.

Specified by:

getLongLabel in interface Displayable

Returns:

a long descriptive label. For example; a fully qualified file name.

getIcon

javax.swing.Icon getIcon()

Description copied from interface: Displayable

Returns an Icon that can be shown in association with this Displayable. Typically the icon will be used in a tree control or list control. Therefore the icon must fit naturally within the space normally given to items within those controls. Such icons are usually 16x16 in size or, if there is a one-pixel transparent padding around the edge, 18x18 in size. It is strongly recommended that icons returned by this method be either 16x16 or 18x18 in size. If null is returned, the control may show a default icon, or it may show no icon, whichever is appropriate.

Specified by:

getIcon in interface Displayable

Returns:

the Icon for this node instance

setShortLabel

void setShortLabel(java.lang.String shortLabel)

setLongLabel

void setLongLabel(java.lang.String longLabel)

setIcon

void setIcon(javax.swing.Icon icon)

getToolTipText

java.lang.String getToolTipText()

Description copied from interface: Displayable

Returns the tool tip text to show when the mouse pointer pauses over a UI component that represents this Displayable. In many cases it may be appropriate for this method to return the same value as Displayable.getLongLabel().

Specified by:

getToolTipText in interface Displayable

Returns:

the ToolTip for this node instance
