All Implemented Interfaces:
  Accessible, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

Enclosing class:
  Box

public static class Box.Filler
extends JComponent
implements Accessible

An implementation of a lightweight component that participates in layout but has no view.

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`.

Field Detail

### accessibleContext

    protected AccessibleContext accessibleContext

  The currently set AccessibleContext object.

Constructor Detail

### Box.Filler

    public Box.Filler(Dimension min,
                      Dimension pref,
                      Dimension max)

  Constructor to create shape with the given size ranges.

Parameters:
  `min` - Minimum size
  `pref` - Preferred size
  `max` - Maximum size

Method Detail

### changeShape

    public void changeShape(Dimension min,
                            Dimension pref,
                            Dimension max)

  Change the size requests for this shape. An invalidate() is propagated upward as a result so that layout will eventually happen with using the new sizes.

  Parameters:
    `min` - Value to return for getMinimumSize
    `pref` - Value to return for getPreferredSize
    `max` - Value to return for getMaximumSize

### getMinimumSize

    public Dimension getMinimumSize()

  Returns the minimum size of the component.

  Overrides:
    `getMinimumSize` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    the size
  See Also:
    `JComponent.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `ComponentUI`

### getPreferredSize

    public Dimension getPreferredSize()

  Returns the preferred size of the component.

  Overrides:
    `getPreferredSize` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    the size
  See Also:
    `JComponent.setPreferredSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `ComponentUI`

### getMaximumSize

    public Dimension getMaximumSize()

  Returns the maximum size of the component.

  Overrides:
    `getMaximumSize` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    the size
  See Also:
    `JComponent.setMaximumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `ComponentUI`

### getAccessibleContext

    public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

  Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Box.Filler. For box fillers, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleBoxFiller. A new AccessibleAWTBoxFiller instance is created if necessary.

  Specified by:
    `getAccessibleContext` in interface `Accessible`
  Overrides:
    `getAccessibleContext` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    an AccessibleBoxFiller that serves as the AccessibleContext of this Box.Filler.
