The Toolbar

> > > > >

The Toolbar bean is represented by the IlvJMapsManagerViewControlBar class. This is a subclass of the framework class IlvJManagerViewControlBar.

An example of the Toolbar is shown in Toolbar .

Toolbar

Including the bean in an application

To include the Toolbar bean in your application, write the following lines of code:

PropertyDescriptor brightness = new PropertyDescriptor("brightness", 
IlvRasterStyle.class);
...
brightness.setPropertyEditorClass(IlvPercentPropertyEditor.class);
IlvJMapsManagerViewControlBar toolbar = new IlvJMapsManagerViewControlBar();
toolbar.setView(view);

Adding the bean to a Swing container

These lines create a standard Rogue Wave® JViews interactor toolbar that you need to integrate into your Swing GUI:

panel.add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);

Customizing the toolbar

For JViews Maps use, you may want to add more interactors or buttons to this toolbar.

Replacing an interactor

You can replace standard interactors with better-tailored interactors, such as the IlvMapZoomInteractor, with lines of code such as:

IlvMapZoomInteractor zi = new IlvMapZoomInteractor();
// chose the way the rectangle is drawn when rotation exists
zi.setRotationAllowed(true);
// when zoom is selected, it stays, contrary to default JViews.
zi.setPermanent(true);
//to change from default zoom interactor
toolbar.setZoomViewInteractor(zi);

Adding a new interactor

You may want to add a completely new interactor:

IlvManagerViewInteractor interactor = …;
JToggleButton interactorButton = new JToggleButton(interactorIcon);

You have to add a listener to set or pop this interactor when the toggle button is selected:

interactorButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if(interactorButton.isSelected()){
          // set the interactor
          view.setInteractor(interactor);
          // and make sure the view has focus, in case the interactor manages 
keyboard accelerators
          view.requestFocus();
        } else if (view.getInteractor()==interactor){
          // pop the interactor
          view.popInteractor();
        }
  }
});

You also need to pop this interactor when another one is selected:

InteractorListener interactorListener = new InteractorListener() {
  public void interactorChanged(InteractorChangedEvent event) {
        boolean isMyInteractor = (event.getNewValue() == interactor);
        if (interactorButton.isSelected() != isMyInteractor) {
          interactorButton.setSelected(isMyInteractor);
        }
  }
};
view.addInteractorListener(interactorListener);

Then, you can add the interactor button to the toolbar:

toolbar.add(interactorButton);
