    @JavaBean
    public class JXCollapsiblePane
    extends JXPanel
    JXCollapsiblePane provides a component which can collapse or expand its content area with animation and fade in/fade out effects. It also acts as a standard container for other Swing components.

    The JXCollapsiblePane has a "content pane" that actually holds the displayed contents. This means that colors, fonts, and other display configuration items must be set on the content pane.

    
     // to set the font
     collapsiblePane.getContentPane().setFont(font);
     // to set the background color
     collapsiblePane.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.RED);
     
     
    For convenience, the add and remove methods forward to the content pane. The following code shows to ways to add a child to the content pane.
    
     // to add a child
     collapsiblePane.getContentPane().add(component);
     // to add a child
     collapsiblePane.add(component);
     
     
    To set the content pane, do not use add, use setContentPane(Container).

    In this example, the JXCollapsiblePane is used to build a Search pane which can be shown and hidden on demand.

     
     JXCollapsiblePane cp = new JXCollapsiblePane();
    
     // JXCollapsiblePane can be used like any other container
     cp.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    
     // the Controls panel with a textfield to filter the tree
     JPanel controls = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 4, 0));
     controls.add(new JLabel("Search:"));
     controls.add(new JTextField(10));
     controls.add(new JButton("Refresh"));
     controls.setBorder(new TitledBorder("Filters"));
     cp.add("Center", controls);
    
     JXFrame frame = new JXFrame();
     frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    
     // Put the "Controls" first
     frame.add("North", cp);
    
     // Then the tree - we assume the Controls would somehow filter the tree
     JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(new JTree());
     frame.add("Center", scroll);
    
     // Show/hide the "Controls"
     JButton toggle = new JButton(cp.getActionMap().get(JXCollapsiblePane.TOGGLE_ACTION));
     toggle.setText("Show/Hide Search Panel");
     frame.add("South", toggle);
    
     frame.pack();
     frame.setVisible(true);
     
     

    The JXCollapsiblePane has a default toggle action registered under the name TOGGLE_ACTION. Bind this action to a button and pressing the button will automatically toggle the pane between expanded and collapsed states. Additionally, you can define the icons to use through the EXPAND_ICON and COLLAPSE_ICON properties on the action. Example

     
     // get the built-in toggle action
     Action toggleAction = collapsible.getActionMap().
       get(JXCollapsiblePane.TOGGLE_ACTION);
    
     // use the collapse/expand icons from the JTree UI
     toggleAction.putValue(JXCollapsiblePane.COLLAPSE_ICON,
                           UIManager.getIcon("Tree.expandedIcon"));
     toggleAction.putValue(JXCollapsiblePane.EXPAND_ICON,
                           UIManager.getIcon("Tree.collapsedIcon"));
     
     

    Note: JXCollapsiblePane requires its parent container to have a LayoutManager using getPreferredSize() when calculating its layout (example VerticalLayout, BorderLayout).

    • Method Detail

      • createContentPane

        protected java.awt.Container createContentPane()
        Creates the content pane used by this collapsible pane.
        Returns:
        the content pane
      • getContentPane

        public java.awt.Container getContentPane()
        Returns:
        the content pane
      • setContentPane

        public void setContentPane​(java.awt.Container contentPanel)
        Sets the content pane of this JXCollapsiblePane. The contentPanel should implement Scrollable and return true from Scrollable.getScrollableTracksViewportHeight() and Scrollable.getScrollableTracksViewportWidth(). If the content pane fails to do so and a JScrollPane is added as a child, it is likely that the scroll pane will never correctly size. While it is not strictly necessary to implement Scrollable in this way, the default content pane does so.
        Parameters:
        contentPanel - the container delegate used to hold all of the contents for this collapsible pane
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if contentPanel is null

        Overridden to redirect call to the content pane.
        Overrides:

      • setAnimated

        public void setAnimated​(boolean animated)
        If true, enables the animation when pane is collapsed/expanded. If false, animation is turned off.

        When animated, the JXCollapsiblePane will progressively reduce (when collapsing) or enlarge (when expanding) the height of its content area until it becomes 0 or until it reaches the preferred height of the components it contains. The transparency of the content area will also change during the animation.

        If not animated, the JXCollapsiblePane will simply hide (collapsing) or show (expanding) its content area.

        Parameters:
        animated -
      • isAnimated

        public boolean isAnimated()
        Returns:
        true if the pane is animated, false otherwise

      • setComponentOrientation

        public void setComponentOrientation​(java.awt.ComponentOrientation o)
        Overrides:
        setComponentOrientation in class java.awt.Component
      • setDirection

        public void setDirection​(JXCollapsiblePane.Direction direction)
        Changes the direction of this collapsible pane. Doing so changes the layout of the underlying content pane. If the chosen direction is vertical, a vertical layout with a gap of 2 pixels is chosen. Otherwise, a horizontal layout with a gap of 2 pixels is chosen.
        Parameters:
        direction - the new JXCollapsiblePane.Direction for this collapsible pane
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - when this method is called while a collapsing/restore operation is running
        See Also:
        getDirection()
      • isCollapsed

        public boolean isCollapsed()
        Returns:
        true if the pane is collapsed, false if expanded
      • setCollapsed

        public void setCollapsed​(boolean val)
        Expands or collapses this JXCollapsiblePane.

        If the component is collapsed and val is false, then this call expands the JXCollapsiblePane, such that the entire JXCollapsiblePane will be visible. If isAnimated() returns true, the expansion will be accompanied by an animation.

        However, if the component is expanded and val is true, then this call collapses the JXCollapsiblePane, such that the entire JXCollapsiblePane will be invisible. If isAnimated() returns true, the collapse will be accompanied by an animation.

        As of SwingX 1.6.3, JXCollapsiblePane only fires property change events when the component's state is accurate. This means that animated collapsible pane's only fire events once the animation is complete.

      • getBorder

        public javax.swing.border.Border getBorder()
        Overrides:
        getBorder in class javax.swing.JComponent
      • setBorder

        Overrides:

      • setOpaque

        public void setOpaque​(boolean opaque)

        Setting the component to be opaque will reset the alpha setting to 1f (full opaqueness). Setting the component to be non-opaque will restore the previous alpha transparency. If the component is non-opaque with a fully-opaque alpha value (1f), the behavior should be the same as as a JPanel that is non-opaque.

        Internals of JXCollasiplePane are designed to be opaque because some Look and Feel implementations having painting issues otherwise. JXCollapsiblePane and its internals will respect setOpaque, calling this method will not only update the collapsible pane, but also all internals. This method does not modify the content pane, as it is not considered an internal.

        Overrides:
        setOpaque in class JXPanel
      • getMinimumSize

        public java.awt.Dimension getMinimumSize()
        A collapsible pane always returns its preferred size for the minimum size to ensure that the collapsing happens correctly.

        To query the minimum size of the contents user getContentPane().getMinimumSize().

        Overrides:
        getMinimumSize in class javax.swing.JComponent
        Returns:

        Parameters:
        minimumSize - the size to set on the content pane
      • getPreferredSize

        public java.awt.Dimension getPreferredSize()
        The critical part of the animation of this JXCollapsiblePane relies on the calculation of its preferred size. During the animation, its preferred size (specially its height) will change, when expanding, from 0 to the preferred size of the content pane, and the reverse when collapsing.
        Overrides:
        getPreferredSize in class javax.swing.JComponent
        Returns:
        this component preferred size
