java.lang.Object
javax.swing.LookAndFeel
javax.swing.plaf.multi.MultiLookAndFeel
A multiplexing look and feel that allows more than one UI to be associated with a component at the same time. The primary look and feel is called the default look and feel, and the other look and feels are called auxiliary.
For further information, see Using the Multiplexing Look and Feel.
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans
has been added to the java.beans
package.

createUIs
Creates theComponentUI
objects required to present thetarget
component, placing the objects in theuis
vector and returning theComponentUI
object that best represents the component's UI. This method finds theComponentUI
objects by invokinggetDefaults().getUI(target)
on each default and auxiliary look and feel currently in use. The first UI object this method adds to theuis
vector is for the default look and feel.This method is invoked by the
createUI
method ofMultiXxxxUI
classes.- Parameters:
mui
- theComponentUI
object that represents the complete UI for thetarget
component; this should be an instance of one of theMultiXxxxUI
classesuis
- aVector
; generally this is theuis
field of themui
argumenttarget
- a component whose UI is represented bymui
- Returns:
mui
if the component has any auxiliary UI objects; otherwise, returns the UI object for the default look and feel ornull
if the default UI object couldn't be found- See Also:
-
uisToArray
Creates an array, populates it with UI objects from the passed-in vector, and returns the array. Ifuis
is null, this method returns an array with zero elements. Ifuis
is an empty vector, this method returnsnull
. A run-time error occurs if any objects in theuis
vector are not of typeComponentUI
.- Parameters:
uis
- a vector containingComponentUI
objects- Returns:
- an array equivalent to the passed-in vector
