- new (table class, int x,y,w,h)
- returns: (Container)
creates a container with the given bounds
- add (Container, Component,[int index])
- returns: (Component)
adds the component to the list of components.
If Index is passed, it will be inserted at a certain z-position. The lower indexes are
on the foreground, higher numbers are on the background. Returns the added
Component
- components
- {[table]} - list of components on the container
- delete (Component self)
- returns: ()
description from overloaded method of Component:
deletes the component. Removes the component from
any parent object and calls
Component.onDestroy, that is also called when
the
Component is garbagecollected.
- deleteChilds (Container)
- returns: ()
deletes all childs of the container
- getComponentAt (Container self, float x,y)
- returns: ([Component])
returns container at the
specific position. Returns self if no child is found that matches and
if the point is contained in the component.
- getForegroundContainer ()
- returns: (Container)
returns the foregroundcontainer. The foreground is a
container that lies on top of the root container. Any element that is
placed on the foregroundcontainer will cover the elements that are
placed on the rootcontainer. The elements on the foregroundcontainer can
implement a function that is named "outsideclicked". If it does not exist,
it assumes true as return value, which signals that it wants to be removed.
As argument, the called function receives the component at first and the
mouseevent as second argument.
- getRootContainer ()
- returns: (Container)
returns the rootcontainer which is the main frame.
- invalidate (Component self)
