      public final I onIconified(sprouts.Action<WindowDelegate<W,WindowEvent>> onIconify)
      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowListener.windowIconified(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when a window is changed from a normal to a minimized state. For many platforms, a minimized window is displayed as the icon specified in the window's iconImage property.
      Minification is usually triggered when the user clicks the minimize button in the top bar of the window. But this depends on the operating system.
      Parameters:
      onIconify - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has been iconified.

      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • onActivated

      public final I onActivated(sprouts.Action<WindowDelegate<W,WindowEvent>> onActivate)
      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowListener.windowActivated(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when the Window is set to be the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window. So this kind of event is usually triggered when the user makes the window active by clicking it.
      Parameters:
      onActivate - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has been activated.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • onDeactivated

      public final I onDeactivated(sprouts.Action<WindowDelegate<W,WindowEvent>> onDeactivate)
      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowListener.windowDeactivated(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when a Window is no longer the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window. This kind of event typically occurs when the user clicks another window in the task bar of the operating system.
      Parameters:
      onDeactivate - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has been deactivated.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowStateListener.windowStateChanged(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when a window has been changed.
      Note that this kind of event is typically invoked when the window is iconified, minimized, maximized or restored.
      Parameters:
      onStateChanged - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has been changed.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • onInputFocusGained

      public final I onInputFocusGained(sprouts.Action<WindowDelegate<W,WindowEvent>> onFocusGained)
      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowFocusListener.windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when the window is set to be gaining input focus, which means that the Window, or one of its subcomponents, will receive keyboard events. This event is typically triggered when the user clicks the window.
      Parameters:
      onFocusGained - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has gained input focus.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • onInputFocusLost

      public final I onInputFocusLost(sprouts.Action<WindowDelegate<W,WindowEvent>> onFocusLost)
      Adds the supplied Action wrapped in a WindowListener to the component, to receive WindowFocusListener.windowLostFocus(WindowEvent) events which are invoked when the window is set to be losing input focus, which means that input focus is being transferred to another Window or no Window at all and that keyboard events will no longer be delivered to the Window or any of its subcomponents.
      Parameters:
      onFocusLost - The Action which should be invoked when the wrapped component has lost input focus.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • getType

      public final Class<W> getType()
      The type class of the component managed by this builder. See documentation for method "build" for more information.
      Returns:
      The type class of the component managed by this builder.

    • getComponent

      @Deprecated public final W getComponent()
      Deprecated.
      Use get(Class) instead.
      The component managed by this builder.
      Returns:
      The component managed by this builder.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if this method is called from a thread other than the EDT and this UI is configured to be decoupled from the application thread. See UIFactoryMethods.use(EventProcessor, Supplier).

    • component

      @Deprecated public final OptionalUI<W> component()
      Deprecated.
      Use get(Class) instead.
      The optional component managed by this builder.
      Returns:
      An OptionalUI wrapping a component or null. This optional will throw an exception if the application has an application thread (see UIFactoryMethods.use(EventProcessor, Supplier)) and this method is called from a thread other than the EDT.

    • peek

      public final I peek(Peeker<W> action)
      Use this if you wish to access the component wrapped by this builder directly. This is useful for more fine-grained control, like for example calling methods like "setName", "setTitle", and so on...
      This method accepts a lambda to which the component wrapped by this builder will be supplied. The lambda can then call said methods or perform other tasks which might be relevant to the component while also not breaking the benefits of nesting and method chaining provided by this class...
      The below example shows how this method allows for more fine-grained control over the wrapped component: 
      
      UI.panel()
      peek( panel -> panel.setDebugGraphicsOptions(true) );


      Parameters:
      action - A Consumer lambda which simply returned the wrapped JComponent type for interacting it.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • applyIf

      public final I applyIf(boolean condition, Consumer<I> building)
      Use this to only build a certain part of the UI if the provided boolean condition is true. Which is to say, if the condition is false, then the second lambda is ignored, if on the other hand the condition is true, then the second lambda is executed with the current builder instance passed to it as a parameter. Inside the lambda, one can then continue building the UI while also not breaking the benefits of nesting and method chaining provided by this builder...

      This is in essence a more advanced version of apply(Consumer).
      Here a simple usage example: 

      
    UI.panel()
    .applyIf( userIsLoggedIn, ui -> ui
      .add( UI.label("Welcome back!") )
      .add( UI.button("Logout")).onClick( () -> logout() )
      .add( UI.button("Settings")).onClick( () -> showSettings() )
    )
    .applyIf( !userIsLoggedIn, ui -> ui
      .add( UI.label("Please login to continue.") )
      .add( UI.button("Login")).onClick( () -> login() );
    );
      Here we use theis method to build a panel with different content depending on whether the user is logged in or not.

      Parameters:
      condition - The truth value which determines if the second consumer lambda is executed or not.
      building - A Consumer lambda which simply consumes this builder instance.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • applyIfPresent

      public final I applyIfPresent(Optional<Consumer<I>> building)
      Allows you to build declarative UI conditionally, meaning that the UI is only built if the provided Optional value is present. If the value is not present, meaning it is null, then the second lambda (containing UI declarations relevant to the value) is simply ignored.

      Consider the following example: 

      
 // In your view model:
 public Optional<MySubModel> getM() {
   return Optional.ofNullable(this.model);
 }

 // In your view:
 UI.panel()
 .add(UI.label("Maybe Sub Model:"))
 .applyIfPresent(vm.getM().map(m->ui->ui
   .add(UI.label("Hello Sub Model!"))
   .add(UI.label("A:")
   .add(UI.textField(m.getA()))
   .add(UI.label("B:"))
   .add(UI.textField(m.getB()))
   // ...
 ))
 .add(UI.label("Some other stuff..."));
      The applyIfPresent method takes an Optional<Consumer<I>> as parameter, where I is the type of the UI builder. This allows you to map the optional value to a consumer which is only executed if the value is present. If the optional value is present, the consumer is executed with the current UI builder as a parameter, which allows you to continue building the UI as usual.
      The m->ui->ui may look a bit confusing at first, but it is simply a lambda expression which takes the optional value and returns a consumer (ui->ui... ) which takes the UI builder as a parameter.
      This is in essence a more advanced Optional centric version of applyIf(boolean, Consumer) and apply(Consumer).
      Parameters:
      building - An optional consumer lambda which simply consumes this builder node.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • apply

      public final I apply(Consumer<I> building)
      Use this to continue building UI inside a provided lambda if you need to introduce some imperative code in between the building process.
      This is especially useful for when you need to build UI based on loops. The current builder instance will simply be supplied to the provided Consumer lambda. Inside the supplied lambda, you can then continue building the UI while also not breaking the benefits of nesting and method chaining, effectively preserving the declarative nature of the builder.

      Here is a simple example of how this method can be used to build a panel with a variable amount of images displayed in a grid: 
      
      UI.panel("wrap 3")
      .apply( ui -> {
          for ( String path : imagePaths )
              ui.add( UI.label(UI.icon(path)) );
      });


      Here is another example of how this method can be used to build a panel with a variable amount of buttons displayed in a grid: 
      
    UI.panel("wrap 4")
    .apply( ui -> {
      for ( int i = 0; i < numOfButtons; i++ )
          ui.add( UI.button("Button " + i)
          .onClick( () -> {...} );
    });


      Parameters:
      building - A Consumer lambda which simply consumes this builder instance.
      Returns:
      This very instance, which enables builder-style method chaining.

    • get

      public final W get(Class<W> type)
      This method completes the building process for the wrapped JComponent type by returning it. However, it also expects the user to pass the class of the JComponent wrapped by this builder! This is not out of necessity but for better readability when using the builder in more extensive ways where the beginning and end of the method chaining and nesting of the builder does not fit on one screen.
      In such cases the expression ".get(MyJComponent.class)" helps to identify which type of JComponent is currently being built on a given nesting layer...

      Here is a simple example that demonstrates this technique using a JPanel and a JMenuBar: 
      
      UI.panel()
      .add(
          UI.menuBar()
          .add( UI.menu("File") )
          .add( UI.menuItem("Open") )
          .add( UI.menuItem("Save") )
          // ...
          .add( UI.menuItem("Exit") )
          .get(JMenuBar.class)
      )
      .add( UI.button("Click me!") )
      .get(JPanel.class);
      As you can see, the expression ".get(JMenuBar.class)" as well as the expression ".get(JPanel.class)" at the end of the builder chain help to identify which type of JComponent is currently being built and returned.
      Parameters:
      type - The type class of the component which this builder wraps.
      Returns:
      The result of the building process, namely: a type of JComponent.

    • add

      @SafeVarargs public final I add(Component... components)

    • add

      @SafeVarargs public final <B extends swingtree.UIForAnything<?, ?, JComponent>> I add(B... builders)
      This method provides the same functionality as the other "add" methods. However, it bypasses the necessity to call the "get" method by calling it internally for you.
      This helps to improve readability, especially when the degree of nesting is very low.
      Type Parameters:
      B - The type of the builder instances which are used to configure the components that will be added to the component wrapped by this builder.

      protected final void _disposeState()
      This method is used to dispose of the state of the builder, which means that the builder state disposes of its reference to either the wrapped component or the wrapped component or the composite of component factories which are used to build the wrapped component eagerly each time the wrapped component is accessed.
      This is important to avoid memory leaks, as a component is typically part of a tree of components, and if one component is not garbage collected, then the whole tree is not garbage collected.
