interface org.aswing.BoundedRangeModel

Defines the data model used by components like Sliders and ProgressBars. Defines four interrelated integer properties: minimum, maximum, extent and value. These four integers define two nested ranges like this:

minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum
The outer range is minimum,maximum and the inner range is value,value+extent. The inner range must lie within the outer one, i.e. value must be less than or equal to maximum and value+extent must greater than or equal to minimum, and maximum must be greater than or equal to minimum. There are a few features of this model that one might find a little surprising. These quirks exist for the convenience of the Swing BoundedRangeModel clients, such as Slider and ScrollBar.
  • The minimum and maximum set methods "correct" the other three properties to accommodate their new value argument. For example setting the model's minimum may change its maximum, value, and extent properties (in that order), to maintain the constraints specified above.
  • The value and extent set methods "correct" their argument to fit within the limits defined by the other three properties. For example if value == maximum, setExtent(10) would change the extent (back) to zero.
  • The four BoundedRangeModel values are defined as Java Beans style properties.

Only setValue and setRangeProperties can indicate programmatic property, other set methods all will always go with programmatic=true except setValueIsAdjusting.

Instance Fields

function addStateListener(listener:Dynamic ->Void?priority:Int, ?useWeakReference:Bool): Void

Adds a listener to listen the Model's state change event. @see org.aswing.event.InteractiveEvent#STATE_CHANGED

listener

the listener

priority

the priority

useWeakReference

Determines whether the reference to the listener is strong or weak.

function getExtent(): Int

Returns the model's extent, the length of the inner range that begins at the model's value.

@see #setExtent() @see #setValue()

returns

the value of the model's extent property

function getMaximum(): Int

Returns the model's maximum. Note that the upper limit on the model's value is (maximum - extent).

@see #setMaximum() @see #setExtent()

returns

the value of the maximum property.

function getMinimum(): Int

Returns the minimum acceptable value.

@see #setMinimum()

returns

the value of the minimum property

function getValue(): Int

Returns the model's current value. Note that the upper limit on the model's value is maximum - extent and the lower limit is minimum.

@see #setValue()

returns

the model's value

function getValueIsAdjusting(): Bool

Returns true if the current changes to the value property are part of a series of changes.

@see #setValueIsAdjusting()

returns

the valueIsAdjustingProperty.

function removeStateListener(listener:Dynamic ->Void): Void

Removes a state listener. @see org.aswing.event.InteractiveEvent#STATE_CHANGED

listener

the listener to be removed.

function setExtent(newExtent:Int): Void

Sets the model's extent. The newExtent is forced to be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to maximum - value.

When a BoundedRange model is used with a scrollbar the extent defines the length of the scrollbar knob (aka the "thumb" or "elevator"). The extent usually represents how much of the object being scrolled is visible. When used with a slider, the extent determines how much the value can "jump", for example when the user presses PgUp or PgDn.

Notifies any listeners if the model changes.

@see #getExtent() @see #setValue()

newExtent

the model's new extent

function setMaximum(newMaximum:Int): Void

Sets the model's maximum to newMaximum. The other three properties may be changed as well, to ensure that

minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum

Notifies any listeners if the model changes.

@see #getMaximum() @see #addChangeListener()

newMaximum

the model's new maximum

function setMinimum(newMinimum:Int): Void

Sets the model's minimum to newMinimum. The other three properties may be changed as well, to ensure that:

minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum

Notifies any listeners if the model changes.

@see #getMinimum() @see #addChangeListener()

newMinimum

the model's new minimum

function setRangeProperties(value:Int, extent:Int, min:Int, max:Int, adjusting:Bool, ?programmatic:Bool): Void

This method sets all of the model's data with a single method call. The method results in a single change event being generated. This is convenient when you need to adjust all the model data simultaneously and do not want individual change events to occur.

@see #setValue() @see #setExtent() @see #setMinimum() @see #setMaximum() @see #setValueIsAdjusting() @see org.aswing.event.InteractiveEvent#isProgrammatic()

value

an int giving the current value

extent

an int giving the amount by which the value can "jump"

min

an int giving the minimum value

max

an int giving the maximum value

adjusting

a boolean, true if a series of changes are in progress

programmatic

indicate if this is a programmatic change.

function setValue(newValue:Int, ?programmatic:Bool): Void

Sets the model's current value to newValue if newValue satisfies the model's constraints. Those constraints are:

minimum <= value <= value+extent <= maximum
Otherwise, if newValue is less than minimum it's set to minimum, if its greater than maximum then it's set to maximum, and if it's greater than value+extent then it's set to value+extent.

When a BoundedRange model is used with a scrollbar the value specifies the origin of the scrollbar knob (aka the "thumb" or "elevator"). The value usually represents the origin of the visible part of the object being scrolled.

Notifies any listeners if the model changes.

@see #getValue() @see org.aswing.event.InteractiveEvent#isProgrammatic()

newValue

the model's new value

programmatic

indicate if this is a programmatic change.

function setValueIsAdjusting(b:Bool): Void

This attribute indicates that any upcoming changes to the value of the model should be considered a single event. This attribute will be set to true at the start of a series of changes to the value, and will be set to false when the value has finished changing. Normally this allows a listener to only take action when the final value change in committed, instead of having to do updates for all intermediate values.

Sliders and scrollbars use this property when a drag is underway.

b

true if the upcoming changes to the value property are part of a series
