public class MultiWindow
extends JFrame
implements ChangeListener

A MultiWindow is a JFrame capable managing all kinds of Displays.

There are three view modes:

FRAME:	Displays are DisplayFrames, that is, every Display has its own window (JFrame)
TAB:	Displays are TabbedFrames. The MultiWindow contains a row of tabs, each of which is a Display
DESKTOP:	Displays are DesktopFrames. These are Windows that can be moved within the frame borders of the MultiWindow. (see JDesktopPane)

The view mode can be chosen by client programs by calling the setViewMode(int) method or by the user using the "MultiWindow" menu.

Displays can be added via the addSalesPointDisplay(SalesPoint) method and removed with removeSalesPointDisplay(SalesPoint). When a display is added it will be saved until it is explicitly closed.

The displays will be updated automatically when FormSheets or MenuSheets are set.

Since:

v2.0

Constructor Detail

MultiWindow

public MultiWindow(Shop sShop,
                   int nViewMode)

Creates a new MultiWindow for the given Shop and initializes the viewmode. The MultiWindow's caption will be the Shop's frame title.

Parameters:

sShop - the Shop for which the MultiWindow is created

nViewMode - the initial view mode

Method Detail

save

public void save(ObjectOutputStream oos)
          throws IOException

Saves the current state of the MultiWindow.

Parameters:

oos - the stream into which to save the state.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while saving.

Override:

Sometimes Override this method whenever you added attributes that need to be saved when making the Shop persistent. Should be overridden along with load().

load

public void load(ObjectInputStream ois)
          throws IOException,
                 ClassNotFoundException

Loads the state of the MultiWindow from a stream.

Parameters:

ois - the input stream to restore the state from.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while reading.

ClassNotFoundException - if an error occurs while reading.

Override:

Sometimes Override this method whenever you added attributes. Should be overridden along with save().

getMultiWindowMenuSheet

public MenuSheet getMultiWindowMenuSheet()

Returns the MultiWindow management MenuSheet for this MultiWindow.

The MultiWindow management MenuSheet contains the following items for managing the look of the MultiWindow:

Item text	Item tag	Item action	Comments
Window	WINDOW_MENU_TAG	Change to Window view. Executes WindowAction.	All SalesPoints will have their displays converted to DisplayFrames, i.e. all SalesPoints are shown in a separate window.
Tabbed	TABBED_MENU_TAG	Change to Tab view. Executes TabAction.	All SalesPoints will have their displays converted to TabbedFrames, i.e. the MultiFrame will contain a row of tabs each of which displays a SalesPoint. The SalesPoint's menus will be merged with the Shop's menu. See also setSecondMenuSheet(sale.MenuSheet)
Desktop	DESKTOP_MENU_TAG	Change to Desktop view. Executes DesktopAction.	All SalesPoints will have their displays converted to DesktopFrames, i.e. all SalesPoints are shown in a separate window. But in contrast to Window view mode the SalesPoints cannot moved around the whole screen but only within the borders of the MultiWindow.
Separator	SEPARATOR_TAG	None.
Cascade	CASCADE_MENU_TAG	Cascade the Displays. Is ignored in tabbed view mode. Executes CascadeAction.
Tile horizontally	TILE_HORIZ_MENU_TAG	Tile internal frames horizontally. Is ignored in tabbed view mode. Executes TileHorizontallyAction.
Tile vertically	TILE_VERT_MENU_TAG	Tile internal frames vertically. Is ignored in tabbed view mode. Executes TileVerticallyAction.

This method is used by setDefaultMenuSheet().

Note: When adding new MenuSheetItems make sure the Actions are not implemented as anonymous inner classes as this causes problems on serialization. See MultiWindowAction for details.

Returns:

a MenuSheet representing the default MultiWindow menu

Override:

Sometimes

setDefaultMenuSheet

public void setDefaultMenuSheet()

Sets the default MenuSheet.

This method uses getMultiWindowMenuSheet() to get the MenuSheet to be set. The actual setting of the MenuSheet is performed by setMenuSheet(sale.MenuSheet)

Override:

Never

setMenuSheet

public void setMenuSheet(MenuSheet msNewMenuSheet)

Sets the given MenuSheet as a global MenuSheet in the MultiWindow.

Parameters:

msNewMenuSheet - the MenuSheet to be set

Override:

Never

setSecondMenuSheet

public void setSecondMenuSheet(MenuSheet ms)

Merges the MultiWindow's MenuSheet with a second one.

The position of the inserted MenuSheet is determined from the m_sMergeBefore variable. The MultiWindow's very MenuSheet object will not be changed, only the MenuSheet's view is altered.

This method is used to insert SalesPoint's MenuSheets into the MultiFrame's MenuSheet when in tabbed view mode, because tabs cannot contain menus. The actual merging is done by MenuSheet.mergePeers(sale.MenuSheet, java.lang.String).

Parameters:

ms - The MenuSheet to be added.

See Also:

setMergeBefore(java.lang.String)

Override:

Never

setMergeBefore

protected void setMergeBefore(String sMergeBefore)

Sets the value of m_sMergeBefore.

This variable contains a menu tag, in front of which a second MenuSheet will be added when executing setSecondMenuSheet(sale.MenuSheet)

Parameters:

sMergeBefore - the menu's tag in front of which a second MenuSheet should be added

Override:

Never

getCurrentMenuSheet

public MenuSheet getCurrentMenuSheet()

Gets the current global MenuSheet.

Override:

Never

getViewMode

public int getViewMode()

Gets the current view mode.

Returns:

an int value representing the view mode

See Also:

WINDOW_VIEW, TABBED_VIEW, DESKTOP_VIEW

Override:

Never

setViewMode

public void setViewMode(int viewMode)

Sets a new view mode.

When setting a new view mode, all open displays are closed, the MultiWindow's content pane is prepared for the new view mode and all displays that have been closed are converted and added according to the new view mode.

Parameters:

viewMode - the view mode to be set

See Also:

WINDOW_VIEW, TABBED_VIEW, DESKTOP_VIEW

Override:

Never

prepareNewContentPane

protected void prepareNewContentPane(int viewMode)

Prepares the MultiWindow's content pane for a new view mode.

In fact, not the content pane directly is set. Instead an appropriate JComponent is added to the content pane.

View mode	Set Component
WINDOW_VIEW	Adds the JComponent that is returned by getFramePane(), by default an empty JPanel.
TABBED_VIEW	Adds the JComponent that is returned by getTabbedPane(), by default a IconTabbedPane.
DESKTOP_VIEW	Adds the JComponent that is returned by getDesktopPane(), by default a JDesktopPane.

Parameters:

viewMode - the view mode to be prepared

Override:

Never

getTabbedPane

protected IconTabbedPane getTabbedPane()

Returns the IconTabbedPane to be added to the content pane in TABBED_VIEW view mode.

Override:

Never, override createTabbedPane() instead.

createTabbedPane

Override:

Never

removeAllDisplays

protected void removeAllDisplays()

Closes the displays of all open SalesPoints.

This method iterates over the list of active SalesPoints (see Shop.getSalesPoints()) and calls removeSalesPointDisplay(sale.SalesPoint) for each one.

Override:

Never

addSalesPointDisplay

public void addSalesPointDisplay(SalesPoint sp)
