java - Using a ContentPane's JComponent functionality -
fred swartz writes in note on java gui programming (more specifically, best ways access , use component's contentpane)
... if predefined content pane [by invoking
getcontentpane()
onjframe
], turns out it'sjpanel
, can't take advantage of functionality addedjcomponent
.
-- http://www.fredosaurus.com/javabasics/gui/gui-commentary/guicom-60-contentpane.html
in case, prohibits using jcomponent
functionality of jpanel
? jpanel
extends jcomponent
, shouldn't jpanel
have unhindered access jcomponent
's methods?
read further in comments using returned component:
if downcast jpanel, create fragile code might break because contract getcontentpane() return container, , there no guarantee future versions continue return jpanel.
