Constructor Detail

JMSwingText

public JMSwingText()

The constructor for JMSwingText. There is no guarantee that this component will be fully initialised before a program calls some of its methods. Therefore, we will check our colours, fonts, etc to see if they have already been set. If not, we will set them to our defaults

Method Detail

setEditable

public void setEditable(boolean state)

This sets the text area editable or non-editable.

Parameters:

state - true sets the text area editable. false sets the text area non-editable.

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()

This returns whether the user can edit the JMSwingText area.

Returns:

true The JMSwingText component is editable false The JMSwingText component is read-only

checkEscape

public int checkEscape(java.lang.String token,
                       int startPos)

Parameters:

token -

startPos -

Returns:

Parameters:

colAt - The ANSI colour code to be processed by this method

setPaintBackground

public void setPaintBackground(boolean state)

Parameters:

state - true indicates we should handle painting the background colour false indicates we should not paint the background colour ourselves

isPaintBackground

public boolean isPaintBackground()

Returns whether background painting is enabled. Background painting allows the program to change the colour of the background. Otherwise the background will always be the user-defined colour
