Class MenuSheet

java.lang.Object
  sale.MenuSheetObject
      sale.MenuSheet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class MenuSheet

extends MenuSheetObject

A MenuSheet consisting of MenuSheetObjects.

MenuSheets represent menus, abstracting from the form they are being displayed in. A MenuSheet could be displayed as a JMenuBar as well as a JMenu or JPopUpMenu. Independently of this it will always behave in the same way from the point of view of the applicion developer.

Since:

v1.0

Method Detail

getPeerLock

protected final Object getPeerLock()

Return the monitor used to synchronized access to the peers.

Override:

Never

add

public void add(MenuSheetObject mso)

Adds a MenuSheetObject to the end of this MenuSheet.

Should the MenuSheet currently be displayed, the new item will be displayed as well.

Parameters:

mso - the new MenuSheetObject.

Override:

Never

remove

public MenuSheetObject remove(String sTag)

Remove a tagged top level item from the MenuSheet.

If an item with the given tag is found among the top level items of this MenuSheet, it is removed and the removed item is returned. Otherwise, the call is ignored.

If the MenuSheet is currently on display, the peer will reflect the changes.

Parameters:

sTag - the tag of the item to be removed.

Returns:

the removed item

Override:

Never

remove

public MenuSheetObject remove(MenuSheetObject msoRemove)

Remove a MenuSheetObject from the MenuSheet.

If the MenuSheet is currently on display, the peer will reflect the changes.

Returns:

the removed MenuSheetObject.

Override:

Never

iterator

public Iterator iterator()

Return a fail-fast, readonly iterator of the items in this MenuSheet.

Fail-fast means, that this iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException when a structural change occured to the underlying MenuSheet.

Also, the remove() method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException, as this is a readonly iterator.

ConcurrentModificationException

Override:

Never

mergePeers

public final JMenuBar mergePeers(MenuSheet msToMerge,
                                 String sBeforeTag)

Merges the peers of two MenuSheets. If a MenuSheet is already merged into this one, it will be removed and marked invisible.

The peers of the top level MenuSheetObjects of the given MenuSheet are merged into the JMenuBar peer of this MenuSheet. They will be inserted into the JMenuBar peer before the MenuSheetpObject with the given tag. If no such MenuSheetObject can be found in the MenuSheet they are appended to the end of the peer.

Merging can always only result in a JMenuBar peer. A JMenu peer cannot be merged. However, merging can be nested. I.e. it is legal, to merge a MenuSheet, into whose peer another MenuSheet's peer has been merged, into a third MenuSheet.

Although the peers of the two MenuSheets are merged, they stay independent with respect to anything else. The MenuSheetObjects of the merged MenuSheet can still only be accessed through that MenuSheet and vice-vera. Also, the attached SalesPoint and SaleProcess stay independent.

For merging to function correctly, you must set the created JMenuBar in your JFrame. Something like this will do the trick:

   setJMenuBar (ms.mergePeers (msToMerge, "MERGE_BEFORE_THIS"));
 

This method is usually not called directly.

Parameters:

msToMerge - the MenuSheet to be merged into this one.

sBeforeTag - before which tag to merge in the MenuSheet.

Override:

Never

getTaggedItem

public MenuSheetObject getTaggedItem(String sTag,
                                     boolean fTopLevelOnly)

Get a MenuSheetObject by its tag.

This will iterate over all MenuSheetObjects in this MenuSheet and return the first one, that has the given tag.

Overrides:

getTaggedItem in class MenuSheetObject

Parameters:

sTag - the tag to search for.

fTopLevelOnly - if true, only the direct elements in this MenuSheet are searched.

Returns:

the first MenuSheetObject that has the given tag, if any.

Throws:

ConcurrentModificationException - if the structure of the MenuSheet changed during the search.

Never
