public abstract class Component
extends Object
implements ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

A component is an object having a graphical representation that can be displayed on the screen and that can interact with the user. Examples of components are the buttons, checkboxes, and scrollbars of a typical graphical user interface.

The Component class is the abstract superclass of the nonmenu-related Abstract Window Toolkit components. Class Component can also be extended directly to create a lightweight component. A lightweight component is a component that is not associated with a native opaque window.

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()

Returns true if this component is completely opaque, returns false by default.

An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular region. A non-opaque component paints only some of its pixels, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through".

Returns:: true if this component is completely opaque.
Since:: JDK1.2

                           int w,
                           int h)

Repaints the component when the image has changed. This imageUpdate method of an ImageObserver is called when more information about an image which had been previously requested using an asynchronous routine such as the drawImage method of Graphics becomes available. See the definition of imageUpdate for more information on this method and its arguments.

The imageUpdate method of Component incrementally draws an image on the component as more of the bits of the image are available.

If the system property awt.image.incrementalDraw is missing or has the value true, the image is incrementally drawn, If the system property has any other value, then the image is not drawn until it has been completely loaded.

Also, if incremental drawing is in effect, the value of the system property awt.image.redrawrate is interpreted as an integer to give the maximum redraw rate, in milliseconds. If the system property is missing or cannot be interpreted as an integer, the redraw rate is once every 100ms.

The interpretation of the x, y, width, and height arguments depends on the value of the infoflags argument.

Specified by:: imageUpdate in interface ImageObserver

Parameters:: img - the image being observed.; infoflags - see imageUpdate for more information.; x - the x coordinate.; y - the y coordinate.; width - the width.; height - the height.
Returns:: true if the flags indicate that the image is completely loaded; false otherwise.

Information on the flags returned by this method can be found with the discussion of the ImageObserver interface.

Parameters:: image - the Image object whose status is being checked.; width - the width of the scaled version whose status is to be checked.; height - the height of the scaled version whose status is to be checked.; observer - the ImageObserver object to be notified as the image is being prepared.

See Also:: java.awt.event.MouseMotionEvent, MouseMotionListener, addMouseMotionListener(java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener)

addInputMethodListener

public void addInputMethodListener(InputMethodListener l)

Adds the specified input method listener to receive input method events from this component. A component will only receive input method events from input methods if it also overrides getInputMethodRequests to return an InputMethodRequests instance. If l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Parameters:: l - the input method listener.
Since:: JDK1.2
See Also:: InputMethodEvent, InputMethodListener, removeInputMethodListener(java.awt.event.InputMethodListener), getInputMethodRequests()

removeInputMethodListener

public void removeInputMethodListener(InputMethodListener l)

Removes the specified input method listener so that it no longer receives input method events from this component. This method performs no function, nor does it throw an exception, if the listener specified by the argument was not previously added to this component. If l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Parameters:: l - the input method listener.
Since:: JDK1.2
See Also:: InputMethodEvent, InputMethodListener, addInputMethodListener(java.awt.event.InputMethodListener)

getInputMethodRequests

public InputMethodRequests getInputMethodRequests()

Gets the input method request handler which supports requests from input methods for this component. A component that supports on-the-spot text input must override this method to return an InputMethodRequests instance. At the same time, it also has to handle input method events.

Returns:: the input method request handler for this component, null by default.
Since:: JDK1.2
See Also:: addInputMethodListener(java.awt.event.InputMethodListener)

getInputContext

public InputContext getInputContext()

Gets the input context used by this component for handling the communication with input methods when text is entered in this component. By default, the input context used for the parent component is returned. Components may override this to return a private input context.

Returns:: The input context used by this component. Null if no context can be determined.
Since:: JDK1.2

enableEvents

protected final void enableEvents(long eventsToEnable)

Enables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter to be delivered to this component.

Event types are automatically enabled when a listener for that event type is added to the component.

This method only needs to be invoked by subclasses of Component which desire to have the specified event types delivered to processEvent regardless of whether or not a listener is registered.

Parameters:: eventsToEnable - the event mask defining the event types.
Since:: JDK1.1
See Also:: processEvent(java.awt.AWTEvent), disableEvents(long)

disableEvents

protected final void disableEvents(long eventsToDisable)

Disables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter from being delivered to this component.

Parameters:: eventsToDisable - the event mask defining the event types
Since:: JDK1.1
See Also:: enableEvents(long)

coalesceEvents

protected AWTEvent coalesceEvents(AWTEvent existingEvent,
                                  AWTEvent newEvent)

Potentially coalesce an event being posted with an existing event. This method is called by EventQueue.postEvent if an event with the same ID as the event to be posted is found in the queue (both events must have this component as their source). This method either returns a coalesced event which replaces the existing event (and the new event is then discarded), or null to indicate that no combining should be done (add the second event to the end of the queue). Either event parameter may be modified and returned, as the other one is discarded unless null is returned.

This implementation of coalesceEvents coalesces two event types: mouse move (and drag) events, and paint (and update) events. For mouse move events the last event is always returned, causing intermediate moves to be discarded. For paint events where the update rectangle of one paint event is completely contained within the update rectangle of the other paint event, the event with the smaller rectangle is discarded.

Parameters:: existingEvent - the event already on the EventQueue.; newEvent - the event being posted to the EventQueue.
Returns:: a coalesced event, or null indicating that no coalescing was done.
