FileProperties

The FileProperties class allows to specify the component which will be put in a GUI application tab. This is a generic class which can be used in both JavaFX and Swing applications.

Overview

The FileProperties class allows to set:

• The name of the tab
• The associated component
• The underlying object

Example

For example, in the Basic tutorial, we add a tab for an Image:

      public void run() throws Exception {
        JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser("Open Image");
        chooser.setDialogTitle("Open Image");
        chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
        if (chooser.showOpenDialog(app.getApplicationWindow()) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
          File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
          BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file); // the object associated with the tab
          if (image == null) throw new Exception("Bad File type");
      _
          JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(new ImagePanel(image)); // the content of the panel to show in the tab
          String tabName = file.getName(); // the name of the tab
          SwingFileProperties properties = new SwingFileProperties(tabName, comp, image);
             app.addTab(properties);
        }
      }

You see that:

• The name argument is the name of the file used for the tab name
• The image argument is the underlying object (which in this case is an Image)
• The pane argument is the component (in this case a ScrollPane) which will be put in the tab

SwingFileProperties

The SwingFileProperties class is a Swing implement for which the component is a JComponent.
