Method Detail

getMnemonicCharacter

public static int getMnemonicCharacter(java.lang.String labelAndMnemonic)
                                throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Gets the keyboard mnemonic from label and mnemonic text. Mnemonic character is indicated by MNEMONIC_INDICATOR. If label and mnemonic text contains two or more mnemonic indicator, second and after appearance of mnemonic indicators are ignored.

For example,

From		To
&File	→	F
ファイル(&F)	→	F

Parameters:

labelAndMnemonic - label text containing mnemonic

Returns:

an int specifying the accelerator key. 0, if no mnemonic characterr in this string

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if labelAndMnemonic is null

getMnemonicIndex

public static int getMnemonicIndex(java.lang.String labelAndMnemonic)
                            throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Gets the index of the mnemonic from label and mnemonic text.

For example,

From		To
&File	→	F
ファイル(&F)	→	F

Parameters:

labelAndMnemonic - label text containing mnemonic

Returns:

an int specifying the accelerator key index. 0, if no mnemonic characterr in this string

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if labelAndMnemonic is null

extractLabelTextWithMnemonic

public static java.lang.String extractLabelTextWithMnemonic(java.lang.String labelAndMnemonic)
                                                     throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Extracts label text by removing non-displayable mnemonic indicator (conventionally ampersand ('&')) from label text and mnemonic resource. If label and mnemonic text contains two or more mnemonic indicator, second and after appearance of mnemonic indicators are ignored.

For example,

From		To
&File	→	File
ファイル(&F)	→	ファイル(F)

Parameters:

labelAndMnemonic - label text containing mnemonic

Returns:

label text without mnemonic

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if labelAndMnemonic is null

addMnemonicToLabel

public static java.lang.String addMnemonicToLabel(java.lang.String label,
                                                  char mnemonic)
                                           throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Returns label text with mnemonic character enclosed in parenthesis. If the label does not contain mnemonic character (ignoring case), mnemonic character is enclosed in parenthesis and added end of menu label. If mnemonic is not a valid character for mnemonic key, only label will be returned.

When you need menu label for CJK translation (or translated menu label does not contain mnemonic character), you have to add mnemonic label after menu label text. The mnemonic character should be enclosed in parenthesis and added end of menu label for CJK translation.

For example,

From				To
F	+	ファイル	→	ファイル(F)

Parameters:

label -

mnemonic -

Returns:

label text with mnemonic

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if labelAndMnemonic is null

extractLabelTextWithoutMnemonic

public static java.lang.String extractLabelTextWithoutMnemonic(java.lang.String labelAndMnemonic)
                                                        throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Extracts label text by removing mnemonic characters (e.g., "(F)" and "(&F)") from label text resource containing mnemonic.

• strip mnemonic indicator from menu label text and mnemonic resource
• strip mnemonic label (from opening parenthesis to closing parenthesis that containing mnemonic indicator and mnemonic character)for CJK translation
• strip mnemonic label (from opening parenthesis to closing parenthesis that containing mnemonic character) without mnemonic indicator for CJK translation

For example,

From		To
&File	→	File
ファイル(&F)	→	ファイル
ファイル(F)	→	ファイル

Conventionally, mnemonic indicator is ampersand ('&') and mnemonic character for CJK translation is enclosed by OPENING_PARENTHESIS ('(') and CLOSING_PARENTHESIS (')').

If label and mnemonic text contains two or more mnemonic indicator, second and after appearance of mnemonic indicators are ignored.
If parenthesis are not enclosing only mnemonic character, parenthesis are not removed.
If mnemonic indicator is not found in CJK translation resource, last occurrence of the parenthesis and enclosed mnemonic character will be removed.

Parameters:

labelAndMnemonic -

Returns:

label text without mnemonic

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if labelAndMnemonic is null

setTextAndMnemonic

public static void setTextAndMnemonic(javax.swing.AbstractButton button,
                                      LocaleMessage buttonText)

Set label text and keyboard mnemonic of specified this component

Parameters:

button - component to set label text and mnemonic

buttonText - label text with mnemonic character

setLabelAndTextFor

public static void setLabelAndTextFor(javax.swing.JLabel label,
                                      java.awt.Component labelFor,
                                      LocaleMessage labelText)

isValidMnemonicKey

public static boolean isValidMnemonicKey(int key)

Returns true if key is an valid mnemonic key based on mnemonic key validator associated with thid class.

Parameters:

key - mnemonic key

Returns:

true if key is valid mnemonic key, else false

setMnemonicKeyValidator

public static void setMnemonicKeyValidator(MnemonicKeyValidator mnemonicKeyValidator)

getMnemonicKeyValidator

public static MnemonicKeyValidator getMnemonicKeyValidator()
