public class FormView
extends ComponentView
implements ActionListener

Component decorator that implements the view interface for form elements, <input>, <textarea>, and <select>. The model for the component is stored as an attribute of the element (using StyleConstants.ModelAttribute), and is used to build the component of the view. The type of the model is assumed to of the type that would be set by HTMLDocument.HTMLReader.FormAction. If there are multiple views mapped over the document, they will share the embedded component models.

The following table shows what components get built by this view.

Method Detail

createComponent

Returns:

the component that is associated with this view

getMaximumSpan

public float getMaximumSpan(int axis)

Determines the maximum span for this view along an axis. For certain components, the maximum and preferred span are the same. For others this will return the value returned by Component.getMaximumSize along the axis of interest.

Overrides:

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for an invalid axis
