Java Reference
In-Depth Information
With the
JSplitPane
component, you can create a row or column consisting of two
components with a divider in between them to allow an end user to alter the components'
sizes manually by moving the divider.
The
JTabbedPane
container displays only one component from a set of contained compo-
nents at a time. The displayed component is picked by the user selecting a tab, which can
contain a title with or without mnemonic, an icon, and a tooltip. This is the popular property
sheet metaphor commonly seen within applications.
The
JScrollPane
and
JViewport
containers allow you to display a large component within
a small area. The
JScrollPane
adds scrollbars to enable an end user to move the visible part
around, whereas the
JViewport
doesn't add these scrollbars.
In Chapter 12, we'll once again examine the individual components within the Swing
library, including the
JProgressBar
,
JScrollBar
, and
JSlider
that share the
BoundedRangeModel
as their data model.
