public abstract class Container
extends Component
A generic Abstract Window Toolkit(AWT) container object is a component that can contain other AWT components.

Components added to a container are tracked in a list. The order of the list will define the components' front-to-back stacking order within the container. If no index is specified when adding a component to a container, it will be added to the end of the list (and hence to the bottom of the stacking order).

add, getComponent, LayoutManager

 protected Container()
Constructs a new Container. Containers can be extended directly, but are lightweight in this case and must be contained by a parent somewhere higher up in the component tree that is native. (such as Frame for example).

Methods

 o getComponentCount
 public int getComponentCount()
Gets the number of components in this panel.

Returns:
the number of components in this panel.
See Also:

 o countComponents
 public int countComponents()
Note: countComponents() is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getComponentCount().

 o getComponent
 public Component getComponent(int n)
Gets the nth component in this container.

Parameters:
n - the index of the component to get.
Returns:
the nth component in this container.
Throws: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
if the nth value does not exist.

Returns:
the insets of this container.
See Also:
Insets, LayoutManager
 o insets
 public Insets insets()
Note: insets() is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by getInsets().

Returns:
the component argument.
 o add
 public Component add(String name,
                      Component comp)
Adds the specified component to this container. It is strongly advised to use the 1.1 method, add(Component, Object), in place of this method.

 o add
 public Component add(Component comp,
                      int index)
Adds the specified component to this container at the given position.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added.
index - the position at which to insert the component, or -1 to insert the component at the end.
Returns:
the component comp
See Also:
remove
 o add
 public void add(Component comp,
                 Object constraints)
Adds the specified component to the end of this container. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this component
See Also:
LayoutManager
 o add
 public void add(Component comp,
                 Object constraints,
                 int index)
Adds the specified component to this container with the specified constraints at the specified index. Also notifies the layout manager to add the component to the this container's layout using the specified constraints object.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added
constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this
index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component. -1 means insert at the end. component
See Also:
remove, LayoutManager
 o addImpl
 protected void addImpl(Component comp,
                        Object constraints,
                        int index)
Adds the specified component to this container at the specified index. This method also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object.

This is the method to override if a program needs to track every add request to a container. An overriding method should usually include a call to the superclass's version of the method:

super.addImpl(comp, constraints, index)

Parameters:
comp - the component to be added.
constraints - an object expressing layout contraints for this component.
index - the position in the container's list at which to insert the component, where -1 means insert at the end.

 o layout
 public void layout()
Note: layout() is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by doLayout().

 o print
 public void print(Graphics g)
Prints the container. This forwards the print to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.print(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, print() will not be forwarded to that child.

Parameters:

Removes the specified container listener so it no longer receives container events from this container.

Parameters:
l - the container listener
 o processEvent
 protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
Processes events on this container. If the event is a ContainerEvent, it invokes the processContainerEvent method, else it invokes its superclass's processEvent.

Parameters:
e - the event
Overrides:
processEvent in class Component
 o processContainerEvent
 protected void processContainerEvent(ContainerEvent e)
Processes container events occurring on this container by dispatching them to any registered ContainerListener objects. NOTE: This method will not be called unless container events are enabled for this component; this happens when one of the following occurs: a) A ContainerListener object is registered via addContainerListener() b) Container events are enabled via enableEvents()

Parameters:
e - the container event
See Also:
enableEvents
 o deliverEvent
 public void deliverEvent(Event e)
Note: deliverEvent() is deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by dispatchEvent(AWTEvent e)

Overrides:
deliverEvent in class Component

 public Component getComponentAt(int x,
                                 int y)
Locates the component that contains the x,y position. The top-most child component is returned in the case where there is overlap in the components. This is determined by finding the component closest to the index 0 that claims to contain the given point via Component.contains().

Parameters:
x - the x coordinate
y - the y Returns:
null if the component does not contain the position. If there is no child component at the requested point and the point is within the bounds of the container the container itself is returned; otherwise the top-most child is returned.
