Direct Known Subclasses:
WCircleArea, WPolygonArea, WRectArea
public abstract class WAbstractArea extends WObject
Abstract base class for interactive areas in a widget.

Use an WAbstractArea (or rather, one of its concrete implementations), to define interactivity that applies on a part of a WImage or WPaintedWidget. The area may be defined using different shapes through WRectArea, WCircleArea or WPolygonArea.

  • Method Details

    • setHole

      public void setHole(boolean hole)
      Specifies that this area specifies a hole for another area.

      When set to true, this area will define an area that does not provide interactivity. When it preceeds other, overlapping, areas, it acts as if it cuts a hole in those areas.

      The default value is false.

      See Also:

    • isHole

      public boolean isHole()
      Returns whether this area specifies a hole.

      See Also:

    • setTransformable

      public void setTransformable(boolean transformable)

    • isTransformable

      public boolean isTransformable()

    • setLink

      public void setLink(WLink link)
      Sets a link.

      By setting a link, the area behaves like a WAnchor.

      By default, no destination link is set.

      Note: Even when no destination link is set, in some circumstances, an identity URL ('#') will be linked to on the underlying HTML <area> element (see also setCursor()).

    • getLink

      public WLink getLink()
      Returns the link.

      See Also:

    • setAlternateText

      public void setAlternateText(CharSequence text)
      Sets an alternate text.

      The alternate text should provide a fallback for browsers that do not display an image. If no sensible fallback text can be provided, an empty text is preferred over nonsense.

      This should not be confused with getToolTip() text, which provides additional information that is displayed when the mouse hovers over the area.

      The default alternate text is an empty text ("").

      See Also:

    • getAlternateText

      public WString getAlternateText()
      Returns the alternate text.

      See Also:

    • setToolTip

      public void setToolTip(CharSequence text)
      Sets the tooltip.

      The tooltip is displayed when the cursor hovers over the area.

    • getToolTip

      public WString getToolTip()
      Returns the tooltip text.

      See Also:

    • setStyleClass

      public void setStyleClass(String styleClass)
      Defines a style class.

      Note: Only few CSS declarations are known to affect the look of a image area, the most notable one being the 'cursor'. Other things will simply be ignored.

    • getStyleClass

      public String getStyleClass()
      Returns the style class.

      See Also:

    • addStyleClass

      public void addStyleClass(String styleClass, boolean force)
      Adds a style class.

      Note: Only few CSS declarations are known to affect the look of a image area, the most notable one being the 'cursor'. Other things will simply be ignored.

    • addStyleClass

      public final void addStyleClass(String styleClass)
      Adds a style class.

      Calls addStyleClass(styleClass, false)

    • removeStyleClass

      public void removeStyleClass(String styleClass, boolean force)
      Removes a style class.

    • removeStyleClass

      public final void removeStyleClass(String styleClass)
      Removes a style class.

      Calls removeStyleClass(styleClass, false)

    • setCursor

      public void setCursor(Cursor cursor)
      Sets the cursor.

      This sets the mouse cursor that is shown when the mouse pointer is over the area. Most browsers only support Cursor.PointingHand, which is activated by a non-empty ref.

    • setCursor

      public void setCursor(String cursorImage, Cursor fallback)
      Sets a custom cursor image URL.

      The URL should point to a .cur file. For optimal portability, make sure that the .cur file is proparly constructed. A renamed .ico file will not work on Internet Explorer.

    • setCursor

      public final void setCursor(String cursorImage)
      Sets a custom cursor image URL.

      Calls setCursor(cursorImage, Cursor.Arrow)

    • getCursor

      public Cursor getCursor()
      Returns the cursor.

      See Also:

    • keyWentDown

      public EventSignal1<WKeyEvent> keyWentDown()
      Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is pushed down.

      The keyWentDown signal is the first signal emitted when a key is pressed (before the keyPressed() signal). Unlike keyPressed() however it is also emitted for modifier keys (such as "shift", "control", ...) or keyboard navigation keys that do not have a corresponding character.

      See Also:

    • keyPressed

      public EventSignal1<WKeyEvent> keyPressed()
      Event signal emitted when a "character" was entered.

      The keyPressed signal is emitted when a key is pressed, and a character is entered. Unlike keyWentDown(), it is emitted only for key presses that result in a character being entered, and thus not for modifier keys or keyboard navigation keys.

      See Also:

    • keyWentUp

      public EventSignal1<WKeyEvent> keyWentUp()
      Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is released.

      This is the counter-part of the keyWentDown() event. Every key-down has its corresponding key-up.

      See Also:

    • enterPressed

      public EventSignal enterPressed()
      Event signal emitted when enter was pressed.

      This signal is emitted when the Enter or Return key was pressed.

      See Also:

    • escapePressed

      public EventSignal escapePressed()
      Event signal emitted when escape was pressed.

      This signal is emitted when the Escape key was pressed.

      See Also:

    • clicked

      public EventSignal1<WMouseEvent> clicked()
      Event signal emitted when a mouse key was clicked on this widget.

      The event details contains information such as the WMouseEvent.getButton(), optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the WMouseEvent.getWidget(), the window WMouseEvent.getWindow(), or the WMouseEvent.getDocument().

      Note: When JavaScript is disabled, the event details contain invalid information.

    • doubleClicked

      public EventSignal1<WMouseEvent> doubleClicked()
      Event signal emitted when a mouse key was double clicked on this widget.

      The event details contains information such as the WMouseEvent.getButton(), optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the WMouseEvent.getWidget(), the window WMouseEvent.getWindow(), or the WMouseEvent.getDocument().

      Note: When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.

    • mouseWentDown

      public EventSignal1<WMouseEvent> mouseWentDown()
      Event signal emitted when a mouse key was pushed down on this widget.

      The event details contains information such as the WMouseEvent.getButton(), optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the WMouseEvent.getWidget(), the window WMouseEvent.getWindow(), or the WMouseEvent.getDocument().

      Note: When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.

    • mouseWentUp

      public EventSignal1<WMouseEvent> mouseWentUp()
