public FileTextFieldTransferHandler(int fileSelectionMode,
                                    java.io.FileFilter filter)

Method Detail

importData

public boolean importData(javax.swing.JComponent comp,
                          java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable t)

Overrides:

importData in class javax.swing.TransferHandler

createTransferable

protected java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable createTransferable(javax.swing.JComponent comp)

Overrides:

createTransferable in class javax.swing.TransferHandler

canImport

public boolean canImport(javax.swing.JComponent comp,
                         java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[] transferFlavors)

Overrides:

canImport in class javax.swing.TransferHandler

getImportFlavor

protected java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor getImportFlavor(java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[] flavors,
                                                           javax.swing.text.JTextComponent c)

Try to find a flavor that can be used to import a Transferable. The set of usable flavors are tried in the following order:

1. First, an attempt to find a text/plain flavor is made.
2. Second, an attempt to find a flavor representing a String reference in the same VM is made.
3. Lastly, DataFlavor.stringFlavor is searched for.

handleReaderImport

protected void handleReaderImport(java.io.Reader in,
                                  javax.swing.text.JTextComponent c,
                                  boolean useRead)
                           throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException,
                                  java.io.IOException

Import the given stream data into the text component.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

java.io.IOException

getSourceActions

public int getSourceActions(javax.swing.JComponent comp)

This is the type of transfer actions supported by the source. Some models are not mutable, so a transfer operation of COPY only should be advertised in that case.

Overrides:

getSourceActions in class javax.swing.TransferHandler

Parameters:

comp - The component holding the data to be transfered. This argument is provided to enable sharing of TransferHandlers by multiple components.

Returns:

This is implemented to return NONE if the component is a JPasswordField since exporting data via user gestures is not allowed. If the text component is editable, COPY_OR_MOVE is returned, otherwise just COPY is allowed.

exportDone

protected void exportDone(javax.swing.JComponent comp,
                          java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable data,
                          int action)

This method is called after data has been exported. This method should remove the data that was transfered if the action was MOVE.

Overrides:

exportDone in class javax.swing.TransferHandler

Parameters:

comp - The component that was the source of the data.

data - The data that was transferred or possibly null if the action is NONE.

action - The actual action that was performed.

getFileFilter

public java.io.FileFilter getFileFilter()

Returns:

the fileFilter

setFileFilter

public void setFileFilter(java.io.FileFilter fileFilter)

Parameters:

fileFilter - the fileFilter to set
