Direct Known Subclasses:

BasicDateFieldUI

public abstract class AbstractDateFieldUI

extends DateUI

Defines the general structure that is used by subclasses to implement the actual UI delegate for JDateField. Such a delegate uses a simple text field to edit the date.

This UI delegate can be configured using the JDateEditComponent.clearOnEdit client property. If this property is set to Boolean.TRUE, the date is cleared when the user initiates an edit with the keyboard. But, if the user initiates an edit by clicking in the field with the mouse, the date is NOT cleared and the cursor is placed exactly where the user clicked. By default, this property is not set.

 	JDateField dateField = new JDateField();
 	dateField.putClientProperty("JDateEditComponent.clearOnEdit", Boolean.TRUE);

Method Detail

createDefaults

protected java.lang.Object[] createDefaults()

Creates a list of default values for some of the properties of JDateField. These values are instances of objects that implement the UIResource interface. For instance, default fonts are created using the FontUIResource class while colors using the ColorUIResource class.

The list is structured as follows: [key1, value1, key2, value2, ...] where the keys identify the properties and the values indicate the default values for these properties.

The keys returned in the list by this method are:

1. DateField.font
2. DateField.foreground
3. DateField.background

Returns:

a list of default values for some of the properties of JDateField

installUI

public void installUI(javax.swing.JComponent c)

Registers all the UI stuff needed to make the specified component work. In other words, this is the place where the component's look and feel is created.

installListeners

protected void installListeners()

Creates and installs the listeners for the date field. This method is called when the UI is installed.

installKeyboardActions

protected void installKeyboardActions()

Registers all keyboard actions on the JDateField.

uninstallUI

public void uninstallUI(javax.swing.JComponent c)

Unregisters all the UI stuff needed to make the specified component work. In other words, this is the place where the component's look and feel is removed.
