Constructor and Description
FormConstraints() Constructs a default FormConstraint which positions the component over both columns and aligns the component horizontally to the LEFT and vertically at the CENTER.
FormConstraints(FormConstraints constraint) Constructs a FormConstraint which copies its values from the constraint supplied.
FormConstraints(int position) Constructs a default FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally to the LEFT and vertically at the CENTER and positions the component at the position supplied.
FormConstraints(int position, boolean filled) Constructs a FormConstraint with the filled value set to the value supplied.
FormConstraints(int position, int horizontalAlignment) Constructs a FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally with the value supplied and vertically at the CENTER.
FormConstraints(int position, int horizontalAlignment, int verticalAlignment) Constructs a FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally and vertically with the values supplied.

Constructor Detail

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints()

Constructs a default FormConstraint which positions the component over both columns and aligns the component horizontally to the LEFT and vertically at the CENTER.

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints(int position)

Constructs a default FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally to the LEFT and vertically at the CENTER and positions the component at the position supplied.

Parameters:

position - the column position of the component.

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints(int position,
               boolean filled)

Constructs a FormConstraint with the filled value set to the value supplied. If the value is set to true, the alignment is no longer important.

Parameters:

position - the column position of the component.

filled - whether the component should fill the available horizontal space.

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints(int position,
               int horizontalAlignment)

Constructs a FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally with the value supplied and vertically at the CENTER.

Parameters:

position - the column position of the component.

horizontalAlignment - the horizontal alignment type.

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints(int position,
               int horizontalAlignment,
               int verticalAlignment)

Constructs a FormConstraint which aligns the component horizontally and vertically with the values supplied.

Parameters:

position - the column position of the component.

horizontalAlignment - the horizontal alignment type.

verticalAlignment - the vertical alignment type.

FormConstraints

public FormConstraints(FormConstraints constraint)

Constructs a FormConstraint which copies its values from the constraint supplied.

Parameters:

constraint - the form constraint to copy the values from.

Method Detail

setFilled

public void setFilled(boolean enabled)

Sets wether the component should occupy the full available horizontal space. The values for Horizontal and vertical alignment are discarded when the component is filled.

Parameters:

enabled - enables/disables the filling of the full space.

isFilled

public boolean isFilled()

Returns wether the component occupies the full available horizontal space. The values for Horizontal and vertical alignment are discarded when the component is filled.

Returns:

the filling of the available space.

setHorizontalAlignment

public void setHorizontalAlignment(int alignment)

Sets the horizontal alignment for the component. The alignment can be any of the following values: LEFT, for a left aligned component. CENTER, for a center aligned component. RIGHT, for a right aligned component.

Parameters:

alignment - the horizontal alignment.

getHorizontalAlignment

public int getHorizontalAlignment()

Returns the horizontal alignment for the component.

Returns:

the horizontal alignment.

See Also:

setHorizontalAlignment(int)

setVerticalAlignment

public void setVerticalAlignment(int alignment)

Sets the vertical alignment for the component. The alignment can be any of the following values: TOP, for a top aligned component. CENTER, for a center aligned component. BOTTOM, for a bottom aligned component.

Parameters:

alignment - the vertical alignment.

getVerticalAlignment

public int getVerticalAlignment()

Returns the vertical alignment for the component.

Returns:

the vertical alignment.

See Also:

setVerticalAlignment(int)

setPosition

public void setPosition(int position)

Sets the column position of the component; LEFT, for a component in the left column. RIGHT, for a component in the right column. FULL, for a component that occupies both columns.

Parameters:

position - the column position of the component.

getPosition

public int getPosition()

Returns the column position of the component.

Returns:

the column position.

See Also:

setPosition(int)

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Finds out if the values in this FormConstraint are equal to the supplied object.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - the object to test.

Returns:

true when equal.
