Constructor Detail

Spinner

public Spinner(
Composite parent,
               int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
See Also:
SWT.READ_ONLY, SWT.WRAP, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()
Method Detail

  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setIncrement

public void setIncrement(int value)
Sets the amount that the receiver's value will be modified by when the up/down arrows are pressed to the argument, which must be at least one.

Parameters:

setMinimum

public void setMinimum(int value)
Sets the minimum value that the receiver will allow. This new value will be ignored if it is negative or is not less than the receiver's current maximum value. If the new minimum is applied then the receiver's selection value will be adjusted if necessary to fall within its new range.

Parameters:
value - the new minimum, which must be nonnegative and less than the current maximum

Returns:
the maximum
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setMaximum

public void setMaximum(int value)
Sets the maximum value that the receiver will allow. This new value will be ignored if it is not greater than the receiver's current minimum value. If the new maximum is applied then the receiver's selection value will be adjusted if necessary to fall within its new range.

Parameters:
value - the new maximum, which must be greater than the current minimum
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

getPageIncrement

public int getPageIncrement()
Returns the amount that the receiver's position will be modified by when the page up/down keys are pressed.

Returns:
the page increment
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setPageIncrement

public void setPageIncrement(int value)
Sets the amount that the receiver's position will be modified by when the page up/down keys are pressed to the argument, which must be at least one.

Parameters:

SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getSelection

public int getSelection()
Returns the selection, which is the receiver's position.

Returns:
the selection
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setSelection

Sets the selection, which is the receiver's position, to the argument. If the argument is not within the range specified by minimum and maximum, it will be adjusted to fall within this range.

Parameters:
value - the new selection (must be zero or greater)
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setValues

public void setValues(int selection,
                      int minimum,
                      int maximum,
                      int digits,
                      int increment,
                      int pageIncrement)
Sets the receiver's selection, minimum value, maximum value, digits, increment and page increment all at once.

Note: This is similar to setting the values individually using the appropriate methods, but may be implemented in a more efficient fashion on some platforms.

Parameters:
selection - the new selection value
minimum - the new minimum value
maximum - the new maximum value
digits - the new digits value
increment - the new increment value
pageIncrement - the new pageIncrement value
Throws:
SWTException -

computeSize

public 
Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint,
                         boolean changed)
Description copied from class: Control
Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

Overrides:
computeSize in class Composite

computeTrim

public 
Rectangle computeTrim(int x,
                             int y,
                             int width,
                             int height)
Description copied from class: Scrollable
Given a desired client area for the receiver (as described by the arguments), returns the bounding rectangle which would be required to produce that client area.

In other words, it returns a rectangle such that, if the receiver's bounds were set to that rectangle, the area of the receiver which is capable of displaying data (that is, not covered by the "trimmings") would be the rectangle described by the arguments (relative to the receiver's parent).

Overrides:
computeTrim in class Scrollable
Parameters:
x - the desired x coordinate of the client area
y - the desired y coordinate of the client area
width - the desired width of the client area
height - the desired height of the client area
Returns:
the required bounds to produce the given client area
See Also:
Scrollable.getClientArea()

addModifyListener

public void addModifyListener(
ModifyListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's text is modified, by sending it one of the messages defined in the ModifyListener interface.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should be notified
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
See Also:
ModifyListener, removeModifyListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.ModifyListener)

removeModifyListener

public void removeModifyListener(
ModifyListener listener)
Removes the listener from the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's text is modified.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should no longer be notified
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
See Also:
ModifyListener, addModifyListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.ModifyListener)

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(
SelectionListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

widgetSelected is not called for texts. widgetDefaultSelected is typically called when ENTER is pressed in a single-line text.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should be notified when the control is selected by the user
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
