public class ComponentInfo
extends KeyAdapter

Constructor just stores component, and listens for keys on it.

Method Index

o action()
The action key for this component has been pressed.
o handleKey(KeyEvent)
Handle a key press we are interested in.
o interested(KeyEvent)
Determine if this component is interested in a key press.
o keyPressed(KeyEvent)
Handle a key press on the component.
o setKeyFromText(String)
Utility function to extract the first capital letter from a String, and set the hot key to it.
o setupDefaultBehaviour()
This should analyse the component, and set the default hot key for it.

Variables

o c 
 protected Component c
The Component this object is tracking.

o key 
 protected char key

Constructors

o ComponentInfo 
 public ComponentInfo(Component c)
Constructor just stores component, and listens for keys on it.

Methods

o keyPressed 
 public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
Handle a key press on the component. If the component is not interested in the key, it must pass it to its container. This default implementation does so.

Overrides:
keyPressed in class KeyAdapter
o interested 
 public boolean interested(KeyEvent e)
Determine if this component is interested in a key press.

o handleKey 
 public void handleKey(KeyEvent e)
Handle a key press we are interested in. Sets the focus to the component (or to the next traversable component after it), and then calls action.

o action 
 public void action()
The action key for this component has been pressed. Do whatever it is supposed to do (press the button, or whatever).

o setKeyFromText 
 public void setKeyFromText(String s)
Utility function to extract the first capital letter from a String, and set the hot key to it.

o setupDefaultBehaviour 
 public void setupDefaultBehaviour()
This should analyse the component, and set the default hot key for it.
