com.jgoodies.forms.builder.AbstractI15dPanelBuilder
public abstract class AbstractI15dPanelBuilder
extends PanelBuilder
FormLayout
to lay out JPanel
s. In addition to its superclass
PanelBuilder
this class provides convenience behavior to map
resource keys to their associated internationalized (i15d) strings
when adding labels, titles and titled separators.
The localized texts used in methods #addI15dLabel
and #addI15dTitle
can contain an optional mnemonic marker.
The mnemonic and mnemonic index are indicated by a single ampersand
(&). For example "&Save", or
"Save &as". To use the ampersand itself,
duplicate it, for example "Look&&Feel".
For debugging purposes you can automatically set a tooltip for the
created labels that show its resource key. In case of an inproper
resource localization, the label will show the wrong text, and the tooltip
will help you identify the resource key with the broken localization.
This feature can be enabled by calling setDebugToolTipsEnabled
.
If you want to enable it in a deployed application, you can set the system
parameter I15dPanelBuilder.debugToolTipsEnabled
to "true".
Subclasses must implement the conversion from resource key
to the localized string in #getI15dString(String)
.
For example class I15dPanelBuilder gets a ResourceBundle on
construction, and requests strings from that bundle.

protected AbstractI15dPanelBuilder(FormLayout layout)
Constructs anAbstractI15dPanelBuilder
for the given layout. Uses an instance ofJPanel
as layout container.
- Parameters:
layout
- theFormLayout
used to layout the container
protected AbstractI15dPanelBuilder(FormLayout layout, JPanel panel)
Constructs anAbstractI15dPanelBuilder
for the given FormLayout and layout container.
- Parameters:
layout
- theFormLayout
used to layout the containerpanel
- the layout container
public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey, String encodedConstraints)
Adds an internationalized (i15d) textual label to the form using the specified constraints.
- Parameters:
resourceKey
- the resource key for the label's textencodedConstraints
- a string representation for the constraints
- Returns:
- the added label
public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey, CellConstraints constraints)
Adds an internationalized (i15d) textual label to the form using the specified constraints.
- Parameters:
resourceKey
- the resource key for the label's textconstraints
- the label's cell constraints
- Returns:
- the added label
public final JLabel addI15dLabel(String resourceKey, CellConstraints labelConstraints, Component component, CellConstraints componentConstraints)
Adds an internationalized (i15d) label and component to the panel using the given cell constraints. Sets the label as the component label usingJLabel.setLabelFor(java.awt.Component)
. Note: TheCellConstraints
objects for the label and the component must be different. Cell constraints are implicitly cloned by theFormLayout
when added to the container. However, in this case you may be tempted to reuse aCellConstraints
object in the same way as with many other builder methods that require a singleCellConstraints
parameter. The pitfall is that the methodsCellConstraints.xy**(...)
just set the coordinates but do not create a new instance. And so the second invocation ofxy***(...)
overrides the settings performed in the first invocation before the object is cloned by theFormLayout
. Wrong:builder.add("name.key", cc.xy(1, 7), // will be modified by the code below nameField, cc.xy(3, 7) // sets the single instance to (3, 7) );Correct:builder.add("name.key", cc.xy(1, 7).clone(), // cloned before the next modification nameField, cc.xy(3, 7) // sets this instance to (3, 7) );
- Parameters:
resourceKey
- the resource key for the labellabelConstraints
- the label's cell constraintscomponent
- the component to addcomponentConstraints
- the component's cell constraints
- Returns:
- the added label
- See Also:
JLabel.setLabelFor(java.awt.Component)
public final JComponent addI15dSeparator(String resourceKey, String encodedConstraints)

- a string representation for the constraints
- Returns:
- the added titled separator
public final JComponent addI15dSeparator(String resourceKey, CellConstraints constraints)
