javax.swing.border
Class CompoundBorder

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder
      extended by javax.swing.border.CompoundBorder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Border
Direct Known Subclasses:
BorderUIResource.CompoundBorderUIResource

public class CompoundBorder
extends AbstractBorder

A composite Border class used to compose two Border objects into a single border by nesting an inside Border object within the insets of an outside Border object. For example, this class may be used to add blank margin space to a component with an existing decorative border:

    Border border = comp.getBorder();
    Border margin = new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10);
    comp.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(border, margin));
 

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 XMLEncoder.

isBorderOpaque in interface Border
Overrides:
isBorderOpaque in class AbstractBorder
Returns:
false

paintBorder

public void paintBorder(Component c,

Specified by:
paintBorder in interface Border
Overrides:
paintBorder in class AbstractBorder
Parameters:
c - the component for which this border is being painted
g - the paint graphics
x - the x position of the painted border
y - the y position of the painted border

getBorderInsets

public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c,
                              Insets insets)
Reinitialize the insets parameter with this Border's current Insets.

Overrides:
getBorderInsets in class AbstractBorder
Parameters:
c - the component for which this border insets value applies
insets - the object to be reinitialized
Returns:
the insets object

getBorderInsets

public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c)

Specified by:
getBorderInsets in interface Border
Overrides:
getBorderInsets in class AbstractBorder
Parameters:
c - the component for which this border insets value applies
