public abstract class AbstractJFrameController
extends AbstractJFrameAgent

This class acts as an agent-based proxy for a swing JFrame. It creates an inner class called ControlledFrame whose paint method is proxied to the drawFrame method which is intended to be overridden by subclasses of this class. The createFrame method can also be overridden if more control over the JFrame is needed. This agent registers itself with the Service Manager and calls createFrame upon starting.

Method Detail

initProps

public void initProps()

Initializes Props for this agent.

Specified by:

initProps in interface AgentInterface

Overrides:

initProps in class AbstractJFrameAgent

start

public void start()

Opens a Frame and registers this agent with the Service Manager.

Specified by:

start in interface AgentInterface

Overrides:

start in class AbstractJFrameAgent

stop

public void stop()

Unregisters this agent with the Service Manager and closes the Frame.

Specified by:

stop in interface AgentInterface

Overrides:

stop in class AbstractJFrameAgent

createFrame

protected javax.swing.JFrame createFrame()

Creates a JFrame that is controlled by this agent. By default, the returned frame is a subclass of JFrame which has been overridden to call the drawFrame method of this agent whenever JFrame.paint is called.

Overrides:

createFrame in class AbstractJFrameAgent

drawFrame

public abstract void drawFrame(java.awt.Graphics g)

Called by the JFrame controlled by this agent when its paint method is called.

getFrame

public javax.swing.JFrame getFrame()

Returns a reference to the JFrame instance controlled by this agent.
