Package ui
source code
Provides interfaces and classes in Muntjac.
Package Specification
Interface hierarchy
The IComponent interface is the top-level interface
which must be implemented by all user interface components in
Muntjac. It defines the common properties of the components and how
the framework will handle them. Most simple components, such as Button,
for example, do not need to implement the lower-level interfaces
described below. Notice that also the classes and interfaces required
by the component event framework are defined in IComponent.
The next level in the component hierarchy are the classes
implementing the IComponentContainer interface. It adds the capacity
to contain other components to IComponent with a simple API.
The third and last level is the ILayout,
which adds the concept of location to the components contained in a
IComponentContainer. It can be used to create
containers which contents can be positioned.
Component class hierarchy
At the top level is AbstractComponent which implements the IComponent interface. As the name suggests it is
abstract, but it does include a default implementation for all
methods defined in Component
so that a component is free
to override only those functionalities it needs.
As seen in the picture, AbstractComponent
serves as
the superclass for several "real" components, but it also
has a some abstract extensions. AbstractComponentContainer serves as the root class
for all components (for example, panels and windows) who can contain
other components. AbstractField, on the other hand, implements several
interfaces to provide a base class for components that are used for
data display and manipulation.
