Class Description

EOViewLayout is an AWT LayoutManager that implements the geometry options available in InterfaceBuilder's Size inspector. The size of a Component embedded in a Container using this layout will be a function of both its autosizing mask and its initial size (see setAutosizingMask for details).

EOViewLayout is for use in Java Client applications only; there isn't an equivalent class for Yellow Box.

Constructors

public EOViewLayout()

Any consumers of EOViewLayout should use the defaultInstance.

defaultInstance

public static EOViewLayout defaultInstance()

Returns that single instance of the receiver used to lay out all InterfaceBuilder-generated Containers.

Instance Methods

setAutosizingMask

public void setAutosizingMask(java.awt.Component component, int mask)

Sets the autosizing mask of component to mask. This information is subsequently used by the receiver to calculate the new location and dimensions of component whenever its parent is resized. The mask should be some bitwise combination of the following:

Fixed neither component's location nor its dimensions may be adjusted

MaxXMargin the distance between component's right edge and that of its parent may be adjusted

MinXMargin component's left edge distance may be adjusted

MaxYMargin the distance between component's bottom edge and that of its parent may be adjusted

MinYMargin component's top edge distance may be adjusted

WidthSizable component's width may be adjusted

HeightSizable component's height may be adjusted

BothSizable both width and height may be adjusted

Fixed	neither component's location nor its dimensions may be adjusted
MaxXMargin	the distance between component's right edge and that of its parent may be adjusted
MinXMargin	component's left edge distance may be adjusted
MaxYMargin	the distance between component's bottom edge and that of its parent may be adjusted
MinYMargin	component's top edge distance may be adjusted
WidthSizable	component's width may be adjusted
HeightSizable	component's height may be adjusted
BothSizable	both width and height may be adjusted

Note that unless mask is Fixed (the default),component's adjusted size will be some factor of its size at the moment setAutosizingMask was invoked.
