public class JXTaskPaneContainer
extends JXPanel

JXTaskPaneContainer provides an elegant view to display a list of tasks ordered by groups (JXTaskPanes).

Although JXTaskPane can be added to any other container, the JXTaskPaneContainer will provide better fidelity when it comes to matching the look and feel of the host operating system than any other panel. As example, when using on a Windows platform, the JXTaskPaneContainer will be painted with a light gradient background. Also JXTaskPaneContainer takes care of using the right LayoutManager (as required by JXCollapsiblePane) so that JXTaskPane behaves correctly when collapsing and expanding its content.

JXTaskPaneContainer can be added to a JScrollPane.

Example:

 
 JXFrame frame = new JXFrame();
 
 // a container to put all JXTaskPane together
 JXTaskPaneContainer taskPaneContainer = new JXTaskPaneContainer();
 
 // add JXTaskPanes to the container
 JXTaskPane actionPane = createActionPane();
 JXTaskPane miscActionPane = createMiscActionPane();
 JXTaskPane detailsPane = createDetailsPane();
 taskPaneContainer.add(actionPane);
 taskPaneContainer.add(miscActionPane);
 taskPaneContainer.add(detailsPane);

 // put the action list on the left in a JScrollPane
 // as we have several taskPane and we want to make sure they
 // all get visible.   
 frame.add(new JScrollPane(taskPaneContainer), BorderLayout.EAST);
 
 // and a file browser in the middle
 frame.add(fileBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
 
 frame.pack().
 frame.setVisible(true);

getScrollableTracksViewportHeight

public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportHeight()

Description copied from class: JXPanel

Return true if a viewport should always force the height of this Scrollable to match the height of the viewport. For example a columnar text view that flowed text in left to right columns could effectively disable vertical scrolling by returning true here.

Scrolling containers, like JViewport, will use this method each time they are validated.

Specified by:

getScrollableTracksViewportHeight in interface Scrollable

Overrides:

getScrollableTracksViewportHeight in class JXPanel

Returns:

True if a viewport should force the Scrollables height to match its own.

See Also:

Scrollable.getScrollableTracksViewportHeight()

getScrollableTracksViewportWidth

public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth()

Description copied from class: JXPanel

Return true if a viewport should always force the width of this Scrollable to match the width of the viewport. For example a normal text view that supported line wrapping would return true here, since it would be undesirable for wrapped lines to disappear beyond the right edge of the viewport. Note that returning true for a Scrollable whose ancestor is a JScrollPane effectively disables horizontal scrolling.

Scrolling containers, like JViewport, will use this method each time they are validated.

Specified by:

getScrollableTracksViewportWidth in interface Scrollable

Overrides:

getScrollableTracksViewportWidth in class JXPanel

Returns:

True if a viewport should force the Scrollables width to match its own.

Scrollable.getScrollableTracksViewportWidth()
