History
=======

tab in the ShapedGradientTheme theme.
1.6.0 - 2009-02-05
------------------
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed an index out bounds bug in drag code.
- Fixed an index out bounds bug in LookAndFeel theme.

1.5.0 - 2007-01-31
------------------
New features:
- TitledTab can now be enabled/disabled using the ENABLED
property in the TitledTabProperties for the tab. The method
TitledTab.setEnabled(...) will modify the property.
1.4.0 - 2005-12-04
------------------
New Features:
- New experimental theme called LookAndFeelTheme that tries
to replicate the JTabbedPane's look using the active look
and feel. This theme may or may not work depending on your
look and feel(!)
- API change(!). The background color set to null in
ComponentProperties no longer controls the opaque parameter
of a component. Use the setOpaque(...) in the
ShapedPanelProperties for that component instead. All the
included themes have been updated but it may affect other
themes.
- Added TabAreaVisiblePolicy and TabAreaVisiblePolicyProperty
that makes it possible to specify visibility policy i.e.
when the tab area should be visible. There are 4 policies,
ALWAYS, NEVER, TABS_EXIT and MORE_THAN_ONE_TAB. Also added
TabbedPanel.isTabAreaVisible().
- Added TabbedPanel.scrollTabToVisibleArea(Tab) that scrolls
the given tab into the visible part of the tab area.
- Major optimization of TabbedPanel and TitledTab. Increased
performance when adding/removing tabs, updating properties
and mouse hovering.
- Added new hover policy called ALWAYS_AND_EXCLUDE. It's the
same as policy ALWAYS but the TabbedPanel will be excluded
by other TabbedPanels when their hover policies are evaluated.
- Added possibility to disable the TitledTab's focus marker,
see FOCUS_MARKER_ENABLED property in TitledTabProperties.
- Added new TabbedPanel constructor that makes it possbile to
choose if a custom content area should use the content area
properties or not.
- TabContentPanel can now be constructed and the TabbedPanel
set at a later time.
Fixed bugs:
- Sometimes the tab drop down list button was shown even if it
shouldn't be shown.
- The right (or down) scroll button wasn't always enabled when
tabs were scrolled out to the right (or down).
- TabbedPanel now uses a tab area component's preferred size
when laying out component in the tab area.
- Classic theme now draws correct borders around tab area
components when the tab area orientation is down or left.
1.3.0 - 2005-02-16
------------------
New Features:
- TitledTab now supports mouse hovering. It is possible to
specify a hover listener in the TitledTabProperties that will
be called when the tab is hovered by the mouse.
- TabbedPanel supports mouse hovering. It is possible to specify
hover listeners for the entire tabbed panel, the tab area, the
tab area components area and the content area in the properties
objects. The hover policy can be changed using
TabbedPanelHoverPolicy in the TabbedPanelProperties.
- TabbedPanelHoverAction is a convenient hover action that
implements the HoverListener interface and contains a
TabbedPanelProperties object that is automatically added
to/removed from (as super object) the hovered tabbed panel (or
any of its hovered areas). This makes it easy to modify
properties for a TabbedPanel or any of its areas when the
TabbedPanel is hovered by the mouse.
- TitledTabHoverAction is a convenient hover action that implements
the HoverListener interface and contains a TitledTabProperties
object that is automatically added to/removed from (as super
object) the hovered titled tab. This makes it easy to modify
properties for a TitledTab when the tab is hovered by the mouse.
- TitledTabDelayedMouseExitHoverAction wraps a HoverListener and
delays the hover listener's mouse exit when the TitledTab is no
longer hovered.
- TabbedPanelTitledTabHoverAction is a hover action that is meant
to be used on a TabbedPanel (or any of its areas) an not on the
TitledTab. It makes it easy to change both TabbedPanelProperties
and TitledTabProperties when a TabbedPanel (or any of its areas)
is hovered by the mouse.
- TitledTabTabbedPanelHoverAction is a hover action that is meant
to be used on a TitledTab and not on a TabbedPanel. It makes it
easy to change both TabbedPanelProperties for the TabbedPanel
that the TitledTab is memember of and the TitledTabProperties
for the TitledTab when the TitledTab is hovered by the mouse.
- Added hasContentArea() function to tabbed panel that returns if
the tabbed panel has a content area or not.
- Added possibility to remove a specific properties super object.
Developers should consider using removeSuperObject(...) instead
of removeSuperObject().
- Holding down the shift key and then press/click/release/drag the
tab will not select the tab regardless of tab selection policy.
This makes it possible to reorder tabs without selecting or
highlighting them (just enable tab reordering and disable
highlight pressed tab so that the pressed tab is not highlighted
if it wasn't already highlighted).
- It is now possible to customize the scroll buttons and the tab
drop down list button. You can assign your own buttons, change
the icon and set tool tip text. Each button (scroll
up/down/left/right and drop down list) has a seperate
ButtonProperties object. These objects are gathered in
TabbedPanelButtonProperties that is part of TabbedPanelProperties
and is retrieved by calling getButtonProperties() in the
TabbedPanelProperties.
Fixed bugs:
- Gtk look and feel now works, but the colors in tabs and tabbed
panels will be strange because almost no colors are set in the
UIManager by this look and feel.
1.2.0 - 2004-11-12
------------------
- The commercial distribution is distributed under a slightly
modified license, InfoNode Software License Version 1.1. The
changes include a section about not being allowed to expose
ITP functionality to external software components and
a section that grants the licensee the right to obfuscate ITP
together with a product.
New Features:
- Added a new theme called ShapedGradientTheme with support for
tabs with slopes on left and right side.
- Added weak listener support for PropertyMap's. See
net.infonode.properties.propertymap.PropertyMapWeakListenerManager
for more information.
- Possible to assign shaped borders to the tab area, tab area
components area, content area and titled tab. Creating a border
using the ShapedBorder interface makes it possible to have
non-rectaungular shapes and create different looking titled tabs
by returning an java.awt.Shape. Events will only be triggered
inside of the shape.
- New properties object called ShapedPanelProperties in
TabAreaProperties, TabAreaComponentProperties,
TabbedPanelContentPanelProperties and TitledTabStateProperties.
This makes it possible to specify component painters for painting
the background of the tab area, tab area components area, content
area and titled tab. If a shaped border is set, the painters
and/or background color will only be painted inside of the shape.
- Added a new theme called ClassicTheme with TitledTabs with round
edges. Colors are taken from the current look and feel.
- Added a new theme called SoftBlueIceTheme with round borders and
gradients as backgrounds.
- Tab spacing can now be a negative value i.e. the tabs will
overlap. It's possible to specify the tab depth order i.e.
descending or ascending from the first tab. The highlighted tab
will always be displayed as the top most tab.
- Default tab spacing is now -1 instead of 0.
- TabLineBorder is now deprecated because of added support for
negative tab spacing. Consider using TabAreaLineBorder instead.
Enhancements:
- Gradient painter performance improvement.
- OpenContentBorder now supports a color for the top and left line
and another color for the bottom and right lines
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed a bug which caused a dragged Tab to be inserted first in the
TabbedPanel when it should be last.
- Fixed so that gradient borders now can be alpha transparent.
- Fixed TabbedPanel's preferred size because it was incorrect in some
cases.
1.1.0 - 2004-09-29
------------------
- A source code example application called SimpleTabbedPanelExample
can be found in "examples/net/infonode/tabbedpanel/example".
It shows how to create a tabbed panel, titled tabs, modify
properties and use themes. It is possible to compile and run the
example.
New Features:
- A tab is now by default selected on mouse press instead of mouse
release.
- A new theme has been added, see GradientTheme. This theme paints
gradient tab backgrounds and supports an opaque tab area.
- A new tabbed panel property called PAINT_TAB_AREA_SHADOW has been
added. Setting this to true will paint a continuous shadow for the
tab area of a tabbed panel. Setting it to false paints a shadow
for the highlighted tab and the tab area components panel.
- Improved shadow painting. Shadow is now painted for the tab area
components panel as well.
- When the tab area only contains one tab, the tab will be
compressed even if scrolling layout policy is activated
- Added possibility to set a list of JComponents to be shown next
to the tabs in the tab area. The components are laid out in a
line with direction right or down depending on the tab area
orientation. Useful for adding buttons etc.
- Added a tab drop down list button to the tab area.
Makes it possible to show a combobox next to the tabs in the tab
area with a list of the tabs in the tabbed panel. Controlled by
a property.
- Added tab select trigger property.
Makes it possible to set if a tab is selected on mouse press or
release.
- Set visible property for titled tab's text, icon and title
component. Possibility to hide and show the text, the icon and
the titled component even though they are set.
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed a bug so that content area border is repainted when a tab is
selected without using a mouse.
- Fixed a bug which caused tabs to be incorrectly rendered when
rotating the tab direction. The tab insets weren't correctly
rotated.
