JComponent

public abstract class JComponent extends Container implements Serializable, TransferHandler$HasGetTransferHandler
The base class for all Swing components except top-level containers. To use a component that inherits from JComponent, you must place the component in a containment hierarchy whose root is a top-level Swing container. Top-level Swing containers -- such as JFrame, JDialog, and JApplet -- are specialized components that provide a place for other Swing components to paint themselves. For an explanation of containment hierarchies, see Swing Components and the Containment Hierarchy, a section in The Java Tutorial.

The JComponent class provides:

  • The base class for both standard and custom components that use the Swing architecture.
  • A "pluggable look and feel" (L&F) that can be specified by the programmer or (optionally) selected by the user at runtime. The look and feel for each component is provided by a UI delegate -- an object that descends from {@link javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI}. See How to Set the Look and Feel in The Java Tutorial for more information.
  • Comprehensive keystroke handling. See the document Keyboard Bindings in Swing, an article in The Swing Connection, for more information.
  • Support for tool tips -- short descriptions that pop up when the cursor lingers over a component. See How to Use Tool Tips in The Java Tutorial for more information.
  • Support for accessibility. JComponent contains all of the methods in the Accessible interface, but it doesn't actually implement the interface. That is the responsibility of the individual classes that extend JComponent.
  • Support for component-specific properties. With the {@link #putClientProperty} and {@link #getClientProperty} methods, you can associate name-object pairs with any object that descends from JComponent.
  • An infrastructure for painting that includes double buffering and support for borders. For more information see Painting and How to Use Borders, both of which are sections in The Java Tutorial.
For more information on these subjects, see the Swing package description and The Java Tutorial section The JComponent Class.

JComponent and its subclasses document default values for certain properties. For example, JTable documents the default row height as 16. Each JComponent subclass that has a ComponentUI will create the ComponentUI as part of its constructor. In order to provide a particular look and feel each ComponentUI may set properties back on the JComponent that created it. For example, a custom look and feel may require JTables to have a row height of 24. The documented defaults are the value of a property BEFORE the ComponentUI has been installed. If you need a specific value for a particular property you should explicitly set it.

In release 1.4, the focus subsystem was rearchitected. For more information, see How to Use the Focus Subsystem, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

Constructors Summary
public JComponent()
Default JComponent constructor. This constructor does very little initialization beyond calling the Container constructor. For example, the initial layout manager is null. It does, however, set the component's locale property to the value returned by JComponent.getDefaultLocale.

see
#getDefaultLocale

        super();

	// bindings will work everywhere. This is a partial fix to BugID
	// 4282211.

booleanalwaysOnTop()
Returns whether this component should be guaranteed to be on top. For example, it would make no sense for Menus to pop up under another component, so they would always return true. Most components will want to return false, hence that is the default.

return
always returns false

	return false;
    
booleancheckIfChildObscuredBySibling()
Returns true, which implies that before checking if a child should be painted it is first check that the child is not obscured by another sibling. This is only checked if isOptimizedDrawingEnabled returns false.

return
always returns true

	return true;

voidcomponentInputMapChanged(javax.swing.ComponentInputMap inputMap)
Invoked from ComponentInputMap when its bindings change. If inputMap is the current windowInputMap (or a parent of the window InputMap) the KeyboardManager is notified of the new bindings.

param
inputMap the map containing the new bindings

public intgetBaseline(int width, int height)
Returns the baseline. The baseline is measured from the top of the component. This method is primarily meant for LayoutManagers to align components along their baseline. A return value less than 0 indicates this component does not have a reasonable baseline and that LayoutManagers should not align this component on its baseline.

This method calls into the ComponentUI method of the same name. If this component does not have a ComponentUI -1 will be returned. If a value >= 0 is returned, then the component has a valid baseline for any size >= the minimum size and getBaselineResizeBehavior can be used to determine how the baseline changes with size.

public BaselineResizeBehaviorgetBaselineResizeBehavior()
Returns an enum indicating how the baseline of the component changes as the size changes. This method is primarily meant for layout managers and GUI builders.

This method calls into the ComponentUI method of the same name. If this component does not have a ComponentUI BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER will be returned. Subclasses should never return null; if the baseline can not be calculated return BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER. Callers should first ask for the baseline using getBaseline and if a value >= 0 is returned use this method. It is acceptable for this method to return a value other than BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER even if getBaseline returns a value less than 0.

public static java.util.LocalegetDefaultLocale()
Returns the default locale used to initialize each JComponent's locale property upon creation. The default locale has "AppContext" scope so that applets (and potentially multiple lightweight applications running in a single VM) can have their own setting.

MouseListener[] mls = (MouseListener[])(c.getListeners(MouseListener.class));
If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.

param
listenerType the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener
return
an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this component, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
exception
ClassCastException if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener

return
the visible rectangle

        Rectangle visibleRect = new Rectangle();

        computeVisibleRect(visibleRect);
        return visibleRect;
    
public intgetWidth()
Returns the current width of this component. This method is preferable to writing component.getBounds().width, or component.getSize().width because it doesn't cause any heap allocations.

return
the current width of this component

 return super.getWidth(); 
static bytegetWriteObjCounter(javax.swing.JComponent comp)

        return (byte)((comp.flags >> WRITE_OBJ_COUNTER_FIRST) & 0xFF);
    
public intgetX()
Returns the current x coordinate of the component's origin. This method is preferable to writing component.getBounds().x, or component.getLocation().x because it doesn't cause any heap allocations.

return
the current x coordinate of the component's origin

 return super.getX(); 
public intgetY()
Returns the current y coordinate of the component's origin. This method is preferable to writing component.getBounds().y, or component.getLocation().y because it doesn't cause any heap allocations.

return
the current y coordinate of the component's origin

 return super.getY(); 
public voidgrabFocus()
Requests that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, visible, and focusable for the request to be granted.

This method is intended for use by focus implementations. Client code should not use this method; instead, it should use requestFocusInWindow().

see
#requestFocusInWindow()

	requestFocus();
    
private static booleanisComponentObtainingGraphicsFrom(java.awt.Component c)
Returns true if {@code c} is the component the graphics is being requested of. This is intended for use when getGraphics is invoked.

Returns true if this component is lightweight, that is, if it doesn't have a native window system peer.

return
true if this component is lightweight

        return c.getPeer() instanceof LightweightPeer;
    
public booleanisManagingFocus()
In release 1.4, the focus subsystem was rearchitected. For more information, see How to Use the Focus Subsystem, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Changes this JComponent's focus traversal keys to CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB. Also prevents SortingFocusTraversalPolicy from considering descendants of this JComponent when computing a focus traversal cycle.

see
java.awt.Component#setFocusTraversalKeys

SortingFocusTraversalPolicy
deprecated
As of 1.4, replaced by Component.setFocusTraversalKeys(int, Set) and Container.setFocusCycleRoot(boolean).

	return false;
    
public booleanisOpaque()
Returns true if this component is completely opaque.

An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular bounds. A non-opaque component paints only a subset of its pixels or none at all, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through". Therefore, a component that does not fully paint its pixels provides a degree of transparency.

Subclasses that guarantee to always completely paint their contents should override this method and return true.

return
true if this component is completely opaque
see
#setOpaque

        return getFlag(IS_OPAQUE);
    
public booleanisOptimizedDrawingEnabled()
Returns true if this component tiles its children -- that is, if it can guarantee that the children will not overlap. The repainting system is substantially more efficient in this common case. JComponent subclasses that can't make this guarantee, such as JLayeredPane, should override this method to return false.

return
always returns true

        return true;
    
booleanisPainting()
Returns true if this component, or any of its ancestors, are in the processing of painting.

        Container component = this;
        while (component != null) {
            if (component instanceof JComponent &&
                   ((JComponent)component).getFlag(ANCESTOR_USING_BUFFER)) {
                return true;

            component = component.getParent();
        }
        return false;
    
public final booleanisPaintingForPrint()
Returns true if the current painting operation on this component is part of a print operation. This method is useful when you want to customize what you print versus what you show on the screen.

You can detect changes in the value of this property by listening for property change events on this component with name "paintingForPrint".

Note: This method provides complimentary functionality to that provided by other high level Swing printing APIs. However, it deals strictly with painting and should not be confused as providing information on higher level print processes. For example, a {@link javax.swing.JTable#print()} operation doesn't necessarily result in a continuous rendering of the full component, and the return value of this method can change multiple times during that operation. It is even possible for the component to be painted to the screen while the printing process is ongoing. In such a case, the return value of this method is true when, and only when, the table is being painted as part of the printing process.

return
true if the current painting operation on this component is part of a print operation

booleanisPaintingOrigin()
Returns true if a paint triggered on a child component should cause painting to originate from this Component, or one of its ancestors.

return
true if painting should originate from this Component or one of its ancestors.

        return false;
    
public booleanisPaintingTile()
Returns true if the component is currently painting a tile. If this method returns true, paint will be called again for another tile. This method returns false if you are not painting a tile or if the last tile is painted. Use this method to keep some state you might need between tiles.

return
true if the component is currently painting a tile, false otherwise

        return getFlag(IS_PAINTING_TILE);
    
public booleanisRequestFocusEnabled()
Returns true if this JComponent should get focus; otherwise returns false.

        return false;
    
public voidpaint(java.awt.Graphics g)
Invoked by Swing to draw components. Applications should not invoke paint directly, but should instead use the repaint method to schedule the component for redrawing.

This method actually delegates the work of painting to three protected methods: paintComponent, paintBorder, and paintChildren. They're called in the order listed to ensure that children appear on top of component itself. Generally speaking, the component and its children should not paint in the insets area allocated to the border. Subclasses can just override this method, as always. A subclass that just wants to specialize the UI (look and feel) delegate's paint method should just override paintComponent.

If you override this in a subclass you should not make permanent changes to the passed in Graphics. For example, you should not alter the clip Rectangle or modify the transform. If you need to do these operations you may find it easier to create a new Graphics from the passed in Graphics and manipulate it.

protected voidpaintChildren(java.awt.Graphics g)
Paints this component's children. If shouldUseBuffer is true, no component ancestor has a buffer and the component children can use a buffer if they have one. Otherwise, one ancestor has a buffer currently in use and children should not use a buffer to paint.

protected voidpaintComponent(java.awt.Graphics g)
Calls the UI delegate's paint method, if the UI delegate is non-null. We pass the delegate a copy of the Graphics object to protect the rest of the paint code from irrevocable changes (for example, Graphics.translate).

If you override this in a subclass you should not make permanent changes to the passed in Graphics. For example, you should not alter the clip Rectangle or modify the transform. If you need to do these operations you may find it easier to create a new Graphics from the passed in Graphics and manipulate it. Further, if you do not invoker super's implementation you must honor the opaque property, that is if this component is opaque, you must completely fill in the background in a non-opaque color. If you do not honor the opaque property you will likely see visual artifacts.

The passed in Graphics object might have a transform other than the identify transform installed on it. In this case, you might get unexpected results if you cumulatively apply another transform.

public voidpaintImmediately(int x, int y, int w, int h)
Paints the specified region in this component and all of its descendants that overlap the region, immediately.

It's rarely necessary to call this method. In most cases it's more efficient to call repaint, which defers the actual painting and can collapse redundant requests into a single paint call. This method is useful if one needs to update the display while the current event is being dispatched.

param

param
y the y value of the region to be painted

public voidprint(java.awt.Graphics g)
Invoke this method to print the component to the specified Graphics. This method will result in invocations of printComponent, printBorder and printChildren. It is recommended that you override one of the previously mentioned methods rather than this one if your intention is to customize the way printing looks. However, it can be useful to override this method should you want to prepare state before invoking the superclass behavior. As an example, if you wanted to change the component's background color before printing, you could do the following:
public void print(Graphics g) {
Color orig = getBackground();
setBackground(Color.WHITE);

// wrap in try/finally so that we always restore the state
try {
super.print(g);
} finally {
setBackground(orig);
}
}

Alternatively, or for components that delegate painting to other objects, you can query during painting whether or not the component is in the midst of a print operation. The isPaintingForPrint method provides this ability and its return value will be changed by this method: to true immediately before rendering and to false immediately after. With each change a property change event is fired on this component with the name "paintingForPrint".

This method sets the component's state such that the double buffer will not be used: painting will be done directly on the passed in Graphics.

protected voidprocessComponentKeyEvent(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
Processes any key events that the component itself recognizes. This is called after the focus manager and any interested listeners have been given a chance to steal away the event. This method is called only if the event has not yet been consumed. This method is called prior to the keyboard UI logic.

This method is implemented to do nothing. Subclasses would normally override this method if they process some key events themselves. If the event is processed, it should be consumed.

    
protected booleanprocessKeyBinding(javax.swing.KeyStroke ks, java.awt.event.KeyEvent e, int condition, boolean pressed)
Invoked to process the key bindings for ks as the result of the KeyEvent e. This obtains the appropriate InputMap, gets the binding, gets the action from the ActionMap, and then (if the action is found and the component is enabled) invokes notifyAction to notify the action.

public final voidputClientProperty(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value)
Adds an arbitrary key/value "client property" to this component.

The get/putClientProperty methods provide access to a small per-instance hashtable. Callers can use get/putClientProperty to annotate components that were created by another module. For example, a layout manager might store per child constraints this way. For example:

componentA.putClientProperty("to the left of", componentB);
If value is null this method will remove the property. Changes to client properties are reported with PropertyChange events. The name of the property (for the sake of PropertyChange events) is key.toString().

The clientProperty dictionary is not intended to support large scale extensions to JComponent nor should be it considered an alternative to subclassing when designing a new component.

key the new client property key

value the new client property value; if null this method will remove the property

public voidregisterKeyboardAction(java.awt.event.ActionListener anAction, java.lang.String aCommand, javax.swing.KeyStroke aKeyStroke, int aCondition)
This method is now obsolete, please use a combination of getActionMap() and getInputMap() for similiar behavior. For example, to bind the KeyStroke aKeyStroke to the Action anAction now use:
component.getInputMap().put(aKeyStroke, aCommand);
component.getActionMap().put(aCommmand, anAction);
The above assumes you want the binding to be applicable for WHEN_FOCUSED. To register bindings for other focus states use the getInputMap method that takes an integer.

Register a new keyboard action. anAction will be invoked if a key event matching aKeyStroke occurs and aCondition is verified. The KeyStroke object defines a particular combination of a keyboard key and one or more modifiers (alt, shift, ctrl, meta).

The aCommand will be set in the delivered event if specified.

The aCondition can be one of:

WHEN_FOCUSED
The action will be invoked only when the keystroke occurs while the component has the focus.
WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW
The action will be invoked when the keystroke occurs while the component has the focus or if the component is in the window that has the focus. Note that the component need not be an immediate descendent of the window -- it can be anywhere in the window's containment hierarchy. In other words, whenever any component in the window has the focus, the action registered with this component is invoked.
WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT
The action will be invoked when the keystroke occurs while the component has the focus or if the component is an ancestor of the component that has the focus.

The combination of keystrokes and conditions lets you define high level (semantic) action events for a specified keystroke+modifier combination (using the KeyStroke class) and direct to a parent or child of a component that has the focus, or to the component itself. In other words, in any hierarchical structure of components, an arbitrary key-combination can be immediately directed to the appropriate component in the hierarchy, and cause a specific method to be invoked (usually by way of adapter objects).

If an action has already been registered for the receiving container, with the same charCode and the same modifiers, anAction will replace the action.

param
anAction the Action to be registered
param
aCommand the command to be set in the delivered event
param
aKeyStroke the KeyStroke to bind to the action

aCondition the condition that needs to be met, see above

public voidrevalidate()
Supports deferred automatic layout.

Calls invalidate and then adds this component's validateRoot to a list of components that need to be validated. Validation will occur after all currently pending events have been dispatched. In other words after this method is called, the first validateRoot (if any) found when walking up the containment hierarchy of this component will be validated. By default, JRootPane, JScrollPane, and JTextField return true from isValidateRoot.

This method will automatically be called on this component when a property value changes such that size, location, or internal layout of this component has been affected. This automatic updating differs from the AWT because programs generally no longer need to invoke validate to get the contents of the GUI to update.

public voidsetAutoscrolls(boolean autoscrolls)
Sets the autoscrolls property. If true mouse dragged events will be synthetically generated when the mouse is dragged outside of the component's bounds and mouse motion has paused (while the button continues to be held down). The synthetic events make it appear that the drag gesture has resumed in the direction established when the component's boundary was crossed. Components that support autoscrolling must handle mouseDragged events by calling scrollRectToVisible with a rectangle that contains the mouse event's location. All of the Swing components that support item selection and are typically displayed in a JScrollPane (JTable, JList, JTree, JTextArea, and JEditorPane) already handle mouse dragged events in this way. To enable autoscrolling in any other component, add a mouse motion listener that calls scrollRectToVisible. For example, given a JPanel, myPanel:
MouseMotionListener doScrollRectToVisible = new MouseMotionAdapter() {
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(e.getX(), e.getY(), 1, 1);
((JPanel)e.getSource()).scrollRectToVisible(r);
}
};
myPanel.addMouseMotionListener(doScrollRectToVisible);
The default value of the autoScrolls property is false.

param
autoscrolls if true, synthetic mouse dragged events are generated when the mouse is dragged outside of a component's bounds and the mouse button continues to be held down; otherwise false

public voidsetBackground(java.awt.Color bg)
Sets the background color of this component. The background color is used only if the component is opaque, and only by subclasses of JComponent or ComponentUI implementations. Direct subclasses of JComponent must override paintComponent to honor this property.

It is up to the look and feel to honor this property, some may choose to ignore it.

	    // background already bound in AWT1.2
	    repaint();
	}
    
public voidsetBorder(javax.swing.border.Border border)
Sets the border of this component. The Border object is responsible for defining the insets for the component (overriding any insets set directly on the component) and for optionally rendering any border decorations within the bounds of those insets. Borders should be used (rather than insets) for creating both decorative and non-decorative (such as margins and padding) regions for a swing component. Compound borders can be used to nest multiple borders within a single component.

Although technically you can set the border on any object that inherits from JComponent, the look and feel implementation of many standard Swing components doesn't work well with user-set borders. In general, when you want to set a border on a standard Swing component other than JPanel or JLabel, we recommend that you put the component in a JPanel and set the border on the JPanel.

This is a bound property.

param
border the border to be rendered for this component

            repaint();
        }
    
public voidsetComponentPopupMenu(javax.swing.JPopupMenu popup)
Sets the JPopupMenu for this JComponent. The UI is responsible for registering bindings and adding the necessary listeners such that the JPopupMenu will be shown at the appropriate time. When the JPopupMenu is shown depends upon the look and feel: some may show it on a mouse event, some may enable a key binding.

If popup is null, and getInheritsPopupMenu returns true, then getComponentPopupMenu will be delegated to the parent. This provides for a way to make all child components inherit the popupmenu of the parent.

This is a bound property.

public voidsetDebugGraphicsOptions(int debugOptions)
Enables or disables diagnostic information about every graphics operation performed within the component or one of its children.

param
debugOptions determines how the component should display the information; one of the following options:
  • DebugGraphics.LOG_OPTION - causes a text message to be printed.
  • DebugGraphics.FLASH_OPTION - causes the drawing to flash several times.
  • DebugGraphics.BUFFERED_OPTION - creates an ExternalWindow that displays the operations performed on the View's offscreen buffer.
  • DebugGraphics.NONE_OPTION disables debugging.
  • A value of 0 causes no changes to the debugging options.
debugOptions is bitwise OR'd into the current value

public static voidsetDefaultLocale(java.util.Locale l)
Sets the default locale used to initialize each JComponent's locale property upon creation. The initial value is the VM's default locale. The default locale has "AppContext" scope so that applets (and potentially multiple lightweight applications running in a single VM) can have their own setting. An applet can safely alter its default locale because it will have no affect on other applets (or the browser).

param
l the desired default Locale for new components.

        SwingUtilities.appContextPut(defaultLocale, l);
    
public voidsetDoubleBuffered(boolean aFlag)
Sets whether this component should use a buffer to paint. If set to true, all the drawing from this component will be done in an offscreen painting buffer. The offscreen painting buffer will the be copied onto the screen. If a Component is buffered and one of its ancestor is also buffered, the ancestor buffer will be used.

param
aFlag if true, set this component to be double buffered

        setFlag(IS_DOUBLE_BUFFERED,aFlag);
    
java.lang.ObjectsetDropLocation(javax.swing.TransferHandler$DropLocation location, java.lang.Object state, boolean forDrop)
Called to set or clear the drop location during a DnD operation. In some cases, the component may need to use its internal selection temporarily to indicate the drop location. To help facilitate this, this method returns and accepts as a parameter a state object. This state object can be used to store, and later restore, the selection state. Whatever this method returns will be passed back to it in future calls, as the state parameter. If it wants the DnD system to continue storing the same state, it must pass it back every time. Here's how this is used:

Let's say that on the first call to this method the component decides to save some state (because it is about to use the selection to show a drop index). It can return a state object to the caller encapsulating any saved selection state. On a second call, let's say the drop location is being changed to something else. The component doesn't need to restore anything yet, so it simply passes back the same state object to have the DnD system continue storing it. Finally, let's say this method is messaged with null. This means DnD is finished with this component for now, meaning it should restore state. At this point, it can use the state parameter to restore said state, and of course return null since there's no longer anything to store.

param
location the drop location (as calculated by dropLocationForPoint) or null if there's no longer a valid drop location
param
state the state object saved earlier for this component, or null
param
forDrop whether or not the method is being called because an actual drop occurred
return
any saved state for this component, or null if none


        return null;
    
public voidsetEnabled(boolean enabled)
Sets whether or not this component is enabled. A component that is enabled may respond to user input, while a component that is not enabled cannot respond to user input. Some components may alter their visual representation when they are disabled in order to provide feedback to the user that they cannot take input.

Note: Disabling a component does not disable its children.

Note: Disabling a lightweight component does not prevent it from receiving MouseEvents.

public voidsetRequestFocusEnabled(boolean requestFocusEnabled)
Provides a hint as to whether or not this JComponent should get focus. This is only a hint, and it is up to consumers that are requesting focus to honor this property. This is typically honored for mouse operations, but not keyboard operations. For example, look and feels could verify this property is true before requesting focus during a mouse operation. This would often times be used if you did not want a mouse press on a JComponent to steal focus, but did want the JComponent to be traversable via the keyboard. If you do not want this JComponent focusable at all, use the setFocusable method instead.

public voidsetVerifyInputWhenFocusTarget(boolean verifyInputWhenFocusTarget)
Sets the value to indicate whether input verifier for the current focus owner will be called before this component requests focus. The default is true. Set to false on components such as a Cancel button or a scrollbar, which should activate even if the input in the current focus owner is not "passed" by the input verifier for that component.

param
verifyInputWhenFocusTarget value for the verifyInputWhenFocusTarget property

        super.processMouseMotionEvent(e);
    
public voidunregisterKeyboardAction(javax.swing.KeyStroke aKeyStroke)
This method is now obsolete. To unregister an existing binding you can either remove the binding from the ActionMap/InputMap, or place a dummy binding the InputMap. Removing the binding from the InputMap allows bindings in parent InputMaps to be active, whereas putting a dummy binding in the InputMap effectively disables the binding from ever happening.

Unregisters a keyboard action. This will remove the binding from the ActionMap (if it exists) as well as the InputMaps.

	ActionMap am = getActionMap(false);
	for (int counter = 0; counter < 3; counter++) {
	    InputMap km = getInputMap(counter, false);
	    if (km != null) {
		Object actionID = km.get(aKeyStroke);

		if (am != null && actionID != null) {
		    am.remove(actionID);
		}
		km.remove(aKeyStroke);
	    }
	}
    
private voidunregisterWithKeyboardManager()
Unregisters all the previously registered WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW KeyStroke bindings.

	Hashtable registered = (Hashtable)getClientProperty
	                        (WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW_BINDINGS);

	if (registered != null && registered.size() > 0) {
	    Enumeration keys = registered.keys();

	    while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
		KeyStroke ks = (KeyStroke)keys.nextElement();
		unregisterWithKeyboardManager(ks);
	    }
	}
	putClientProperty(WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW_BINDINGS, null);
    
private voidunregisterWithKeyboardManager(javax.swing.KeyStroke aKeyStroke)

	KeyboardManager.getCurrentManager().unregisterKeyStroke(aKeyStroke,
								this);

        paint(g);
    
public voidupdateUI()
Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel. JComponent subclasses must override this method like this:
public void updateUI() {
setUI((SliderUI)UIManager.getUI(this);
}

private voidwriteObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream s)
Before writing a JComponent to an ObjectOutputStream we temporarily uninstall its UI. This is tricky to do because we want to uninstall the UI before any of the JComponent's children (or its LayoutManager etc.) are written, and we don't want to restore the UI until the most derived JComponent subclass has been been stored.

param
s the ObjectOutputStream in which to write

        s.defaultWriteObject();
        if (getUIClassID().equals(uiClassID)) {
            byte count = JComponent.getWriteObjCounter(this);
            JComponent.setWriteObjCounter(this, --count);
            if (count == 0 && ui != null) {
                ui.installUI(this);
            }
        }
        ArrayTable.writeArrayTable(s, clientProperties);
