Constructor Details

ComponentSearcher

public ComponentSearcher(Container c)

Contructor. The search is constrained so that only components that lie below the given container in the containment hierarchy are considered.

Parameters:

c - Container to find components in.

Method Details

getTrueChooser

public static ComponentChooser getTrueChooser(String description)

Creates ComponentChooser implementation whose checkComponent(Component) method returns true for any component.

Parameters:

description - Component description.

Returns:

ComponentChooser instance.

findComponent

public Component findComponent(ComponentChooser chooser,
 int index)

Searches for a component. The search for the component proceeds recursively in the component hierarchy rooted in this ComponentChooser's container.

Parameters:

chooser - ComponentChooser instance, defining and applying the search criteria.

index - Ordinal component index. Indices start at 0.

Returns:

the index'th component from among those components for which the chooser's checkComponent(Component) method returns true. A null reference is returned if there are fewer than index-1 components meeting the search criteria exist in the component hierarchy rooted in this ComponentChooser's container.

findComponent

public Component findComponent(ComponentChooser chooser)

Searches for a component. The search for the component proceeds recursively in the component hierarchy rooted in this ComponentChooser's container.

Parameters:

chooser - ComponentChooser instance, defining and applying the search criteria.

Returns:

the first component for which the chooser's checkComponent(Component) method returns true. A null reference is returned if no component meeting the search criteria exist in the component hierarchy rooted in this ComponentChooser's container.
