Class ContainerColorUtility

java.lang.Object
wt.clients.util.ContainerColorUtility
public class ContainerColorUtility extends Object
This class is used to recursively apply the same background, foreground, and font to all components within a container. This can be used as a static method or an instance method. This class contains color defaults that can be changed. There are several ways to use this class. 1) ContainerColorUtility.colorContainer(aContainer); This will color the container and all of its components to the default colors defined in this class. 2) ContainerColorUtility.setBackground(newColor); ContainerColorUtility.setForeground(newColor); . . ContainerColorUtility.colorContainer(aContainer); This will change the default colors and any time that colorContainer is subsequently called, it will use the newColors 3) ContainerColorUtility utility = new ContainerColorUtility(); utility.setComponent(specificComponent) utility.setForeground(newColor); . . utility.colorContainer(); This will create and instance of the utility and the newColors defined here will only apply to that instance of the specificComponent and any subsequent calls to colorContainer with a different instance will be using the default colors not the newColors. 4) utility.colorContents(); The colorContents() method will color only the contents of the container and not the container itself. This is useful for beans when overriding setBackground, etc. The following is an example of how a bean may want to override. ContainerColorUtility utility = new ContainerColorUtility(this); . . public void setBackground(Color newColor) { super.setBackground(newColor); utility.setBackground(newColor); utiltiy.colorContents(); }
