Interface Stretchable

All Superinterfaces:

Delegateable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CarouselContainer, ContainerEx

public interface Stretchable
extends Delegateable

The Stretchable interface is used to indicate that a Component should "stretch" itself to use all left over space inside a parent component.

By default most component try to minimize the space they use, but components that implement this interface can be made to maximize the space they use.

Field Summary

static String	PROPERTY_HEIGHT_STRETCHED
static String	PROPERTY_MAXIMUM_STRETCHED_HEIGHT
static String	PROPERTY_MINIMUM_STRETCHED_HEIGHT

Method Summary

Extent	getMaximumStretchedHeight()
Extent	getMinimumStretchedHeight()
boolean	isHeightStretched()
void	setHeightStretched(boolean newValue) Set to true if the height should be stretched to use all available space of its parent.
void	setMaximumStretchedHeight(Extent newValue) Sets the maximum height that the component should stretch itself up to in pixels.
void	setMinimumStretchedHeight(Extent newValue) Sets the minimum height that the component should stretch itself down to in pixels.

Parameters:

newValue - - a new Extent value that MUST be in pixel units.

getMaximumStretchedHeight

Extent getMaximumStretchedHeight()

Returns:

- the maximum height that the component should stretch itself up to in pixels.

setMaximumStretchedHeight

void setMaximumStretchedHeight(Extent newValue)

Sets the maximum height that the component should stretch itself up to in pixels.
