Interface RootFormElementI

All Known Implementing Classes:

FLocked, FRootPane, FTabbedView, FTable, FView

public interface RootFormElementI

Defines the contract for a root form element within a user interface.

This interface provides methods related to the sizing behavior of the root form and allows for explicit control over its initial focus component. A root form element typically represents the top-level container of a form.

Method Detail

isUseMaximumWidth

boolean isUseMaximumWidth()

Checks if the root form element should attempt to use the maximum available width.

This property influences how the form's layout manager sizes the component, often causing it to expand to fill horizontal space.

Returns:

true if maximum width should be used, false otherwise.

isUseMaximumHeight

boolean isUseMaximumHeight()

Checks if the root form element should attempt to use the maximum available height.

This property influences how the form's layout manager sizes the component, often causing it to expand to fill vertical space.

Returns:

true if maximum height should be used, false otherwise.

setExplicitIFC

void setExplicitIFC(javax.swing.JComponent jc)

Sets an explicit initial focus component for this root form element.

When the form is displayed, focus will be directed to this specified JComponent instead of relying on default focus traversal rules. This provides fine-grained control over user interaction flow.

Parameters:

jc - The JComponent that should receive initial focus.
