      • Spinner

        public Spinner​(Composite parent,
                       int style)
        Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

        The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

        Parameters:
        parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
        style - the style of control to construct
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
        • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

      • getDigits

        public int getDigits()
        Returns the number of decimal places used by the receiver.
        Returns:
        the digits
        Throws:
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
      • setDigits

        public void setDigits​(int value)
        Sets the number of decimal places used by the receiver.

        The digit setting is used to allow for floating point values in the receiver. For example, to set the selection to a floating point value of 1.37 call setDigits() with a value of 2 and setSelection() with a value of 137. Similarly, if getDigits() has a value of 2 and getSelection() returns 137 this should be interpreted as 1.37. This applies to all numeric APIs.

        Parameters:
        value - the new digits (must be greater than or equal to zero)
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the value is less than zero
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
        Since:
        1.3

      • setMinimum

        public void setMinimum​(int value)
        Sets the minimum value that the receiver will allow. This new value will be ignored if it is greater than the receiver's current maximum value. If the new minimum is applied then the receiver's selection value will be adjusted if necessary to fall within its new range.
        Parameters:
        value - the new minimum, which must be less than or equals to the current maximum

        Parameters:
        value - the new maximum, which must be greater than or equal to the current minimum
        Throws:

        Returns:
        the selection
        Throws:
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
      • setSelection

        public void setSelection​(int value)

                              int pageIncrement)
        Sets the receiver's selection, minimum value, maximum value, digits, increment and page increment all at once.

        Note: This is similar to setting the values individually using the appropriate methods, but may be implemented in a more efficient fashion on some platforms.

        Parameters:
        selection - the new selection value
        minimum - the new minimum value

        public java.lang.String getText()
        Returns a string containing a copy of the contents of the receiver's text field, or an empty string if there are no contents.
        Returns:
        the receiver's text
        Throws:
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

      • setTextLimit

        public void setTextLimit​(int textLimit)
        Sets the maximum number of characters that the receiver is capable of holding to be the argument.

        Instead of trying to set the text limit to zero, consider creating a read-only text widget.

        To reset this value to the default, use setTextLimit(Text.LIMIT). Specifying a limit value larger than Text.LIMIT sets the receiver's limit to Text.LIMIT.

        Parameters:
        textLimit - new text limit
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
        • ERROR_CANNOT_BE_ZERO - if the limit is zero
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
        • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

      • getTextLimit

        public int getTextLimit()
        Returns the maximum number of characters that the receiver is capable of holding.

        If this has not been changed by setTextLimit(), it will be the constant Text.LIMIT.

        Returns:
        the text limit
        Throws:
        SWTException -
        • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

      • computeSize

        public Point computeSize​(int wHint,
                                 int hHint,
                                 boolean changed)
        Description copied from class: Control
        Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

        The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

        If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

        Overrides:
        computeSize in class Composite
        Parameters:
        wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
        hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
        changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
        Returns:
        the preferred size of the control.

      • computeTrim

        public Rectangle computeTrim​(int x,
                                     int y,
                                     int width,
                                     int height)
        Description copied from class: Scrollable
        Given a desired client area for the receiver (as described by the arguments), returns the bounding rectangle which would be required to produce that client area.

        In other words, it returns a rectangle such that, if the receiver's bounds were set to that rectangle, the area of the receiver which is capable of displaying data (that is, not covered by the "trimmings") would be the rectangle described by the arguments (relative to the receiver's parent).

        Overrides:
        computeTrim in class Scrollable
        Parameters:
        x - the desired x coordinate of the client area
        y - the desired y coordinate of the client area
        width - the desired width of the client area
        height - the desired height of the client area
        Returns:
        the required bounds to produce the given client area
