public interface ILcyCustomizableRepresentationActiveSettable
extends ILcyActiveSettable

Extension of ILcyActiveSettable that allows to customize the component that represents it (typically a JToggleButton). Implementations of ILcyActionBar (e.g. TLcyToolBar) will call the customizeRepresentation method to provide a hook for the active settable to modify its component. One could for example want to add a DropTargetListener or a MouseListener that listens for a double click on the component. It is also possible to completely replace the component with a custom one.

General components don't always play nice when added to a Swing JToolBar, see also TLcyAlwaysFitJToolBar.createToolBarPanel(java.awt.Component).

Method Detail

customizeRepresentation

Component customizeRepresentation(Component aDefaultComponent,
                                  ILcyActiveSettable aWrapperActiveSettable,
                                  ILcyActionBar aActionBar)

Allows to customize or replace the default component that is used to represent this ILcyActiveSettable (typically a JToggleButton).

Parameters:

aDefaultComponent - The component that normally represents this active settable.

aWrapperActiveSettable - In case this active settable is wrapped (for example when using (TLcyActionBarUtil), this parameter is the wrapper active settable, if not, it is this active settable. This is useful to retrieve properties such as the name or the icon of the active settable which can be different for different wrapper instances. E.g., a tool bar might use a different icon as a menu bar. And if the active settable is customized for the tool bar, it might be required to retrieve the tool bar icon.

aActionBar - The action bar in which this active settable is going to be inserted, provided as contextual information..

Returns:

A customized or new component to represent this active settable. The simplest (but not useful) implementation of this method would be return aDefaultComponent;.
