getDefaults
public UIDefaults getDefaults()
Creates, initializes, and returns the look and feel specific defaults. For this look and feel, the defaults consist solely of mappings of UI class IDs (such as "ButtonUI") toComponentUIclass names (such as "javax.swing.plaf.multi.MultiButtonUI").- Overrides:

createUIs
public static ComponentUI createUIs(ComponentUI mui, Vector uis, JComponent target)
Creates theComponentUIobjects required to present thetargetcomponent, placing the objects in theuisvector and returning theComponentUIobject that best represents the component's UI. This method finds theComponentUIobjects by invokinggetDefaults().getUI(target)on each default and auxiliary look and feel currently in use. The first UI object this method adds to theuisvector is for the default look and feel.This method is invoked by the
createUImethod ofMultiXxxxUIclasses.- Parameters:
-
mui- theComponentUIobject that represents the complete UI for thetargetcomponent; this should be an instance of one of theMultiXxxxUIclasses -
uis- aVector; generally this is theuisfield of themuiargument -
target- a component whose UI is represented bymui - Returns:
-
muiif the component has any auxiliary UI objects; otherwise, returns the UI object for the default look and feel ornullif the default UI object couldn't be found - See Also:
-
UIManager.getAuxiliaryLookAndFeels(),UIDefaults.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent),MultiButtonUI.uis,MultiButtonUI.createUI(javax.swing.JComponent)
uisToArray
protected static ComponentUI[] uisToArray(Vector uis)
Creates an array, populates it with UI objects from the passed-in vector, and returns the array. Ifuisis null, this method returns an array with zero elements. Ifuisis an empty vector, this method returnsnull. A run-time error occurs if any objects in theuisvector are not of typeComponentUI.- Parameters:
-
uis- a vector containingComponentUIobjects - Returns:
- an array equivalent to the passed-in vector
