Direct Known Subclasses:
UI.SplitButton
public class JSplitButton extends JButton implements Serializable, StylableComponent
An implementation of a "split button" where the left (larger) side acts like a normal button and the right side down arrow based button opens an attached JPopupMenu. See UIFactoryMethods.splitButton(String), UIFactoryMethods.splitButton(Var) and UIFactoryMethods.splitButton(Var, Event) for usage in you UIs as well as the UIForSplitButton for more in-depth configuration (like adding options to the split button for example).

This class raises two events:

  1. SplitButtonActionListener.buttonClicked(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) when the button is clicked
  2. SplitButtonActionListener.splitButtonClicked(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) when the split part of the button is clicked
You can implement SplitButtonActionListener to handle these events, however, it is advised to register events as part of the UIForSplitButton API!

    • paintChildren

      public void paintChildren(Graphics g)
      This method is expected to be implemented as follows: 
            @Override
      public void paintChildren(Graphics g){
          paintForeground(g, ()->super.paintChildren(g));
      }
      Specified by:
      paintChildren in interface StylableComponent
      Overrides:
      paintChildren in class JComponent
      Parameters:
      g - the graphics context to paint on, obtained from the component's JComponent::paintChildren(Graphics) method.

    • setUISilently

      public void setUISilently(ComponentUI ui)
      Certain style configurations require SwingTree to install a custom UI delegate. This method is used to set the UI delegate for the component but without triggering side effects like the former UI being uninstalled (which itself can cause a lot of undesired side effects).

      This method is not intended to be called by client code! It exists for internal use only and unfortunately cannot be protected or private due to the nature of the Swing API.

      The implementation of this method is expected to look like this: 

        @Override
  public void setUISilently(ComponentUI ui){
      this.ui = ui; // no side effects
  }
      Specified by:
      setUISilently in interface StylableComponent
      Parameters:
      ui - the UI delegate to set for the component without triggering side effects.
