Special Behaviors

While not strictly a class tag, <tab> tags are still reflected by an object at runtime -- specifically an instance of jaxx.runtime.swing.TabInfo. If you assign an id to the tab, you can access the TabInfo using the id. This object has getter and setter methods for all of the attributes (other than id) listed below, and all of the getter methods are bound.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
id	java.lang.String	Name used to refer to this object from elsewhere in the file.
background	java.awt.Color	Background color of tab.
disabledIcon	javax.swing.Icon	Icon for when the tab is disabled.
displayedMnemonicIndex	int	Index of mnemonic character within title.
foreground	java.awt.Color	Foreground color of tab title.
icon	javax.swing.Icon	The tab's icon.
mnemonic	int	Mnemonic character within title.
title	java.lang.String	The tab's title.
toolTipText	java.lang.String	The tool tip text that appears when the mouse hovers over the tab.

Child tags

Each tab tag must contain at most one child component, which appears when the tab is selected.

Data binding

As with class tags, all of the <tab> tag's attributes may be assigned data binding expressions, and updates will be properly reflected in the on-screen item's appearance.

Bound methods

A bound method is a method whose value can be tracked by listening to events. For instance, changes to the return value of Component.getWidth() are always accompanied by componentResized events.

Bound methods are significant because they allow the data binding system to detect when they have changed. If you call a bound method within a data binding expression, JAXX will add an event listener in order to detect changes to the method's value. Methods which are not listed below cannot be tracked by JAXX's data binding.

• getForeground()
• getIcon()
