public abstract class Component
extends Object
implements ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable
```
A component is an object having a graphical representation that can be displayed on the screen and that can interact with the user. Examples of components are the buttons, checkboxes, and scrollbars of a typical graphical user interface.
The Component class is the abstract superclass of the nonmenu-related Abstract Window Toolkit components. Class Component can also be extended directly to create a lightweight component. A lightweight component is a component that is not associated with a native window. On the contrary, a heavyweight component is associated with a native window. The isLightweight() method may be used to distinguish between the two kinds of the components.
Lightweight and heavyweight components may be mixed in a single component hierarchy. However, for correct operating of such a mixed hierarchy of components, the whole hierarchy must be valid. When the hierarchy gets invalidated, like after changing the bounds of components, or adding/removing components to/from containers, the whole hierarchy must be validated afterwards by means of the Container.validate() method invoked on the top-most invalid container of the hierarchy.

Serialization
It is important to note that only AWT listeners which conform to the Serializable protocol will be saved when the object is stored. If an AWT object has listeners that aren't marked serializable, they will be dropped at writeObject time. Developers will need, as always, to consider the implications of making an object serializable. One situation to watch out for is this:
```
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.Serializable;

    class MyApp implements ActionListener, Serializable
    {
        BigObjectThatShouldNotBeSerializedWithAButton bigOne;
        Button aButton = new Button();

        MyApp()
        {
            // Oops, now aButton has a listener with a reference
            // to bigOne!
            aButton.addActionListener(this);
        }

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            System.out.println("Hello There");
        }
    }
 
```
In this example, serializing aButton by itself will cause MyApp and everything it refers to to be serialized as well. The problem is that the listener is serializable by coincidence, not by design. To separate the decisions about MyApp and the ActionListener being serializable one can use a nested class, as in the following example:
```
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.io.Serializable;

    class MyApp implements java.io.Serializable
    {
         BigObjectThatShouldNotBeSerializedWithAButton bigOne;
         Button aButton = new Button();

         static class MyActionListener implements ActionListener
         {
             public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
             {
                 System.out.println("Hello There");
             }
         }

         MyApp()
         {
             aButton.addActionListener(new MyActionListener());
         }
    }
 
```

getDropTarget
```
public DropTarget getDropTarget()
```
Gets the DropTarget associated with this Component.

getGraphicsConfiguration
```
public GraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()
```
Gets the GraphicsConfiguration associated with this Component. If the Component has not been assigned a specific GraphicsConfiguration, the GraphicsConfiguration of the Component object's top-level container is returned. If the Component has been created, but not yet added to a Container, this method returns null.

Returns:
this component's locking object

getToolkit
```
public Toolkit getToolkit()
```

Returns:
the toolkit of this component
Since:

JDK1.0

isValid
```
public boolean isValid()
```
Determines whether this component is valid. A component is valid when it is correctly sized and positioned within its parent container and all its children are also valid. In order to account for peers' size requirements, components are invalidated before they are first shown on the screen. By the time the parent container is fully realized, all its components will be valid.

Returns:
true if the component is valid, false otherwise
Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
validate(), invalidate()

isDisplayable
```
public boolean isDisplayable()
```
Determines whether this component is displayable. A component is displayable when it is connected to a native screen resource.
A component is made displayable either when it is added to a displayable containment hierarchy or when its containment hierarchy is made displayable. A containment hierarchy is made displayable when its ancestor window is either packed or made visible.
A component is made undisplayable either when it is removed from a displayable containment hierarchy or when its containment hierarchy is made undisplayable. A containment hierarchy is made undisplayable when its ancestor window is disposed.

Returns:
true if the component is displayable, false otherwise
Since:

1.2

See Also:
Container.add(Component), Window.pack(), Window.show(), Container.remove(Component), Window.dispose()

isVisible
```
public boolean isVisible()
```
Determines whether this component should be visible when its parent is visible. Components are initially visible, with the exception of top level components such as Frame objects.

Returns:
true if the component is visible, false otherwise
Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
setVisible(boolean)

getMousePosition
```
public Point getMousePosition()
                       throws HeadlessException
```
Returns the position of the mouse pointer in this Component's coordinate space if the Component is directly under the mouse pointer, otherwise returns null. If the Component is not showing on the screen, this method returns null even if the mouse pointer is above the area where the Component would be displayed. If the Component is partially or fully obscured by other Components or native windows, this method returns a non-null value only if the mouse pointer is located above the unobscured part of the Component.
For Containers it returns a non-null value if the mouse is above the Container itself or above any of its descendants. Use Container.getMousePosition(boolean) if you need to exclude children.
Sometimes the exact mouse coordinates are not important, and the only thing that matters is whether a specific Component is under the mouse pointer. If the return value of this method is null, mouse pointer is not directly above the Component.

Returns:
mouse coordinates relative to this Component, or null

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true
Since:

1.5

See Also:
isShowing(), Container.getMousePosition(boolean)

isShowing
```
public boolean isShowing()
```
Determines whether this component is showing on screen. This means that the component must be visible, and it must be in a container that is visible and showing.
Note: sometimes there is no way to detect whether the Component is actually visible to the user. This can happen when:
- the component has been added to a visible ScrollPane but the Component is not currently in the scroll pane's view port.
- the Component is obscured by another Component or Container.
Returns:
true if the component is showing, false otherwise
Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
setVisible(boolean)

isEnabled
```
public boolean isEnabled()
```
Determines whether this component is enabled. An enabled component can respond to user input and generate events. Components are enabled initially by default. A component may be enabled or disabled by calling its setEnabled method.

Returns:
true if the component is enabled, false otherwise
Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
setEnabled(boolean)

setEnabled
```
public void setEnabled(boolean b)
```
Enables or disables this component, depending on the value of the parameter b. An enabled component can respond to user input and generate events. Components are enabled initially by default.
Note: Disabling a lightweight component does not prevent it from receiving MouseEvents.
Note: Disabling a heavyweight container prevents all components in this container from receiving any input events. But disabling a lightweight container affects only this container.

Parameters:
b - If true, this component is enabled; otherwise this component is disabled
Since:

JDK1.1

Returns:
false by default

enableInputMethods
```
public void enableInputMethods(boolean enable)
```
Enables or disables input method support for this component. If input method support is enabled and the component also processes key events, incoming events are offered to the current input method and will only be processed by the component or dispatched to its listeners if the input method does not consume them. By default, input method support is enabled.

Parameters:
enable - true to enable, false to disable

getLocation
```
public Point getLocation()
```
Gets the location of this component in the form of a point specifying the component's top-left corner. The location will be relative to the parent's coordinate space.
Due to the asynchronous nature of native event handling, this method can return outdated values (for instance, after several calls of setLocation() in rapid succession). For this reason, the recommended method of obtaining a component's position is within java.awt.event.ComponentListener.componentMoved(), which is called after the operating system has finished moving the component.

Returns:
an instance of Point representing the top-left corner of the component's bounds in the coordinate space of the component's parent

getBounds
```
public Rectangle getBounds(Rectangle rv)
```
Stores the bounds of this component into "return value" rv and return rv. If rv is null a new Rectangle is allocated. This version of getBounds is useful if the caller wants to avoid allocating a new Rectangle object on the heap.

isOpaque
```
public boolean isOpaque()
```
Returns true if this component is completely opaque, returns false by default.
An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular region. A non-opaque component paints only some of its pixels, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through". A component that does not fully paint its pixels therefore provides a degree of transparency.
Subclasses that guarantee to always completely paint their contents should override this method and return true.

Returns:
true if this component is completely opaque
Since:

1.2

See Also:
isLightweight()

isLightweight
```
public boolean isLightweight()
```
A lightweight component doesn't have a native toolkit peer. Subclasses of Component and Container, other than the ones defined in this package like Button or Scrollbar, are lightweight. All of the Swing components are lightweights.
This method will always return false if this component is not displayable because it is impossible to determine the weight of an undisplayable component.

Returns:
true if this component has a lightweight peer; false if it has a native peer or no peer
Since:

1.2

See Also:
isDisplayable()

setPreferredSize

getAlignmentX
```
public float getAlignmentX()
```
Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

getAlignmentY
```
public float getAlignmentY()
```
Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

getBaseline
```
public int getBaseline(int width,
              int height)
```
Returns the baseline. The baseline is measured from the top of the component. This method is primarily meant for LayoutManagers to align components along their baseline. A return value less than 0 indicates this component does not have a reasonable baseline and that LayoutManagers should not align this component on its baseline.
The default implementation returns -1. Subclasses that support baseline should override appropriately. If a value >= 0 is returned, then the component has a valid baseline for any size >= the minimum size and getBaselineResizeBehavior can be used to determine how the baseline changes with size.

Parameters:
width - the width to get the baseline for
height - the height to get the baseline for

Returns:
the baseline or < 0 indicating there is no reasonable baseline

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if width or height is < 0
Since:

1.6

See Also:
getBaselineResizeBehavior(), FontMetrics

getBaselineResizeBehavior
```
public Component.BaselineResizeBehavior getBaselineResizeBehavior()
```
Returns an enum indicating how the baseline of the component changes as the size changes. This method is primarily meant for layout managers and GUI builders.
The default implementation returns BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER. Subclasses that have a baseline should override appropriately. Subclasses should never return null; if the baseline can not be calculated return BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER. Callers should first ask for the baseline using getBaseline and if a value >= 0 is returned use this method. It is acceptable for this method to return a value other than BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER even if getBaseline returns a value less than 0.

Returns:
an enum indicating how the baseline changes as the component size changes

doLayout
```
public void doLayout()

layout
```
@Deprecated
public void layout()
```
Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by doLayout().

validate
```
public void validate()
```
Validates this component.
The meaning of the term validating is defined by the ancestors of this class. See Container.validate() for more details.

Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
invalidate(), doLayout(), LayoutManager, Container.validate()

invalidate
```
public void invalidate()
```
Invalidates this component and its ancestors.
By default, all the ancestors of the component up to the top-most container of the hierarchy are marked invalid. If the java.awt.smartInvalidate system property is set to true, invalidation stops on the nearest validate root of this component. Marking a container invalid indicates that the container needs to be laid out.
This method is called automatically when any layout-related information changes (e.g. setting the bounds of the component, or adding the component to a container).
This method might be called often, so it should work fast.

Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
validate(), doLayout(), LayoutManager, Container.isValidateRoot()

revalidate
```
public void revalidate()
```
Revalidates the component hierarchy up to the nearest validate root.
This method first invalidates the component hierarchy starting from this component up to the nearest validate root. Afterwards, the component hierarchy is validated starting from the nearest validate root.
This is a convenience method supposed to help application developers avoid looking for validate roots manually. Basically, it's equivalent to first calling the invalidate() method on this component, and then calling the validate() method on the nearest validate root.

Since:

1.7

See Also:
Container.isValidateRoot()

getGraphics
```
public Graphics getGraphics()

getFontMetrics
```
public FontMetrics getFontMetrics(Font font)
```
Gets the font metrics for the specified font. Warning: Since Font metrics are affected by the FontRenderContext and this method does not provide one, it can return only metrics for the default render context which may not match that used when rendering on the Component if Graphics2D functionality is being used. Instead metrics can be obtained at rendering time by calling Graphics.getFontMetrics() or text measurement APIs on the Font class.

Parameters:
font - the font for which font metrics is to be obtained

Returns:
the font metrics for font
Since:

JDK1.0

getFont(), getPeer(), ComponentPeer.getFontMetrics(Font), Toolkit.getFontMetrics(Font)

setCursor
```
public void setCursor(Cursor cursor)
```
Sets the cursor image to the specified cursor. This cursor image is displayed when the contains method for this component returns true for the current cursor location, and this Component is visible, displayable, and enabled. Setting the cursor of a Container causes that cursor to be displayed within all of the container's subcomponents, except for those that have a non-null cursor.
The method may have no visual effect if the Java platform implementation and/or the native system do not support changing the mouse cursor shape.

Parameters:
cursor - One of the constants defined by the Cursor class; if this parameter is null then this component will inherit the cursor of its parent
Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:
isEnabled(), isShowing(), getCursor(), contains(int, int), Toolkit.createCustomCursor(java.awt.Image, java.awt.Point, java.lang.String), Cursor

getCursor
```
public Cursor getCursor()
```
Gets the cursor set in the component. If the component does not have a cursor set, the cursor of its parent is returned. If no cursor is set in the entire hierarchy, Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR is returned.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:
setCursor(java.awt.Cursor)

isCursorSet
```
public boolean isCursorSet()
```
Returns whether the cursor has been explicitly set for this Component. If this method returns false, this Component is inheriting its cursor from an ancestor.

Returns:
true if the cursor has been explicitly set for this Component; false otherwise.
Since:

1.4

paint
```
public void paint(Graphics g)
```
Paints this component.
This method is called when the contents of the component should be painted; such as when the component is first being shown or is damaged and in need of repair. The clip rectangle in the Graphics parameter is set to the area which needs to be painted. Subclasses of Component that override this method need not call super.paint(g).
For performance reasons, Components with zero width or height aren't considered to need painting when they are first shown, and also aren't considered to need repair.
Note: For more information on the paint mechanisms utilitized by AWT and Swing, including information on how to write the most efficient painting code, see Painting in AWT and Swing.

Parameters:
g - the graphics context to use for painting
Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
update(java.awt.Graphics)

update
```
public void update(Graphics g)
```
Updates this component.
If this component is not a lightweight component, the AWT calls the update method in response to a call to repaint. You can assume that the background is not cleared.
The update method of Component calls this component's paint method to redraw this component. This method is commonly overridden by subclasses which need to do additional work in response to a call to repaint. Subclasses of Component that override this method should either call super.update(g), or call paint(g) directly from their update method.
The origin of the graphics context, its (0, 0) coordinate point, is the top-left corner of this component. The clipping region of the graphics context is the bounding rectangle of this component.
Note: For more information on the paint mechanisms utilitized by AWT and Swing, including information on how to write the most efficient painting code, see Painting in AWT and Swing.

Parameters:
g - the specified context to use for updating
Since:

JDK1.0

imageUpdate
```
public boolean imageUpdate(Image img,
                  int infoflags,
                  int x,
                  int y,
                  int w,
                  int h)
```
Repaints the component when the image has changed. This imageUpdate method of an ImageObserver is called when more information about an image which had been previously requested using an asynchronous routine such as the drawImage method of Graphics becomes available. See the definition of imageUpdate for more information on this method and its arguments.
The imageUpdate method of Component incrementally draws an image on the component as more of the bits of the image are available.
If the system property awt.image.incrementaldraw is missing or has the value true, the image is incrementally drawn. If the system property has any other value, then the image is not drawn until it has been completely loaded.
Also, if incremental drawing is in effect, the value of the system property awt.image.redrawrate is interpreted as an integer to give the maximum redraw rate, in milliseconds. If the system property is missing or cannot be interpreted as an integer, the redraw rate is once every 100ms.
The interpretation of the x, y, width, and height arguments depends on the value of the infoflags argument.

Specified by:

imageUpdate in interface ImageObserver

Parameters:
img - the image being observed
infoflags - see imageUpdate for more information
x - the x coordinate
y - the y coordinate
w - the width
h - the height

Returns:
false if the infoflags indicate that the image is completely loaded; true otherwise.

```
MouseListener[] mls = (MouseListener[])(c.getListeners(MouseListener.class));
```
If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
Parameters:
listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener

Returns:
an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this component, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added

getInputMethodRequests
```
public InputMethodRequests getInputMethodRequests()
```

Returns:
the input context used by this component; null if no context can be determined
Since:

1.2

enableEvents
```
protected final void enableEvents(long eventsToEnable)
```
Enables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter to be delivered to this component.
Event types are automatically enabled when a listener for that event type is added to the component.
This method only needs to be invoked by subclasses of Component which desire to have the specified event types delivered to processEvent regardless of whether or not a listener is registered.

Parameters:
eventsToEnable - the event mask defining the event types
Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:
processEvent(java.awt.AWTEvent), disableEvents(long), AWTEvent

disableEvents
```
protected final void disableEvents(long eventsToDisable)
```
Disables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter from being delivered to this component.

Parameters:
eventsToDisable - the event mask defining the event types
Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

coalesceEvents
```
protected AWTEvent coalesceEvents(AWTEvent existingEvent,
                      AWTEvent newEvent)
```
Potentially coalesce an event being posted with an existing event. This method is called by EventQueue.postEvent if an event with the same ID as the event to be posted is found in the queue (both events must have this component as their source). This method either returns a coalesced event which replaces the existing event (and the new event is then discarded), or null to indicate that no combining should be done (add the second event to the end of the queue). Either event parameter may be modified and returned, as the other one is discarded unless null is returned.
This implementation of coalesceEvents coalesces two event types: mouse move (and drag) events, and paint (and update) events. For mouse move events the last event is always returned, causing intermediate moves to be discarded. For paint events, the new event is coalesced into a complex RepaintArea in the peer. The new AWTEvent is always returned.

Parameters:
existingEvent - the event already on the EventQueue
newEvent - the event being posted to the EventQueue

Returns:
a coalesced event, or null indicating that no coalescing was done

processEvent
```
protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
```
Processes events occurring on this component. By default this method calls the appropriate process<event type>Event method for the given class of event.
Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

Parameters:
e - the event

processComponentEvent
```
protected void processComponentEvent(ComponentEvent e)
```
Processes component events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered ComponentListener objects.
This method is not called unless component events are enabled for this component. Component events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
- A ComponentListener object is registered via addComponentListener.
- Component events are enabled via enableEvents.
Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
Parameters:
e - the component event

processFocusEvent
```
protected void processFocusEvent(FocusEvent e)
```
Processes focus events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered FocusListener objects.
This method is not called unless focus events are enabled for this component. Focus events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
- A FocusListener object is registered via addFocusListener.
- Focus events are enabled via enableEvents.
If focus events are enabled for a Component, the current KeyboardFocusManager determines whether or not a focus event should be dispatched to registered FocusListener objects. If the events are to be dispatched, the KeyboardFocusManager calls the Component's dispatchEvent method, which results in a call to the Component's processFocusEvent method.
If focus events are enabled for a Component, calling the Component's dispatchEvent method with a FocusEvent as the argument will result in a call to the Component's processFocusEvent method regardless of the current KeyboardFocusManager.

Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
Parameters:
e - the focus event
Since:

JDK1.1

processKeyEvent
```
protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
```
Processes key events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered KeyListener objects.
This method is not called unless key events are enabled for this component. Key events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
- A KeyListener object is registered via addKeyListener.
- Key events are enabled via enableEvents.
If key events are enabled for a Component, the current KeyboardFocusManager determines whether or not a key event should be dispatched to registered KeyListener objects. The DefaultKeyboardFocusManager will not dispatch key events to a Component that is not the focus owner or is not showing.
As of J2SE 1.4, KeyEvents are redirected to the focus owner. Please see the Focus Specification for further information.
Calling a Component's dispatchEvent method with a KeyEvent as the argument will result in a call to the Component's processKeyEvent method regardless of the current KeyboardFocusManager as long as the component is showing, focused, and enabled, and key events are enabled on it.
If the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
Parameters:
e - the key event

setFocusTraversalKeys

public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id,
                         Set<? extends AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)

Sets the focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Component.

The default values for a Component's focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.

Identifier Meaning Default

KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal forward keyboard traversal TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED

KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Normal reverse keyboard traversal SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED

KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS Go up one focus traversal cycle none

To disable a traversal key, use an empty Set; Collections.EMPTY_SET is recommended.

Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Component. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.

If a value of null is specified for the Set, this Component inherits the Set from its parent. If all ancestors of this Component have null specified for the Set, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is used.

Parameters:: id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS; keystrokes - the Set of AWTKeyStroke for the specified operation
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or if keystrokes contains null, or if any Object in keystrokes is not an AWTKeyStroke, or if any keystroke represents a KEY_TYPED event, or if any keystroke already maps to another focus traversal operation for this Component
Since:: 1.4

getFocusTraversalKeys
```
public Set<AWTKeyStroke> getFocusTraversalKeys(int id)
```
Returns the Set of focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Component. (See setFocusTraversalKeys for a full description of each key.)
If a Set of traversal keys has not been explicitly defined for this Component, then this Component's parent's Set is returned. If no Set has been explicitly defined for any of this Component's ancestors, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is returned.

Parameters:
id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

Returns:
the Set of AWTKeyStrokes for the specified operation. The Set will be unmodifiable, and may be empty. null will never be returned.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

areFocusTraversalKeysSet
```
public boolean areFocusTraversalKeysSet(int id)
```
Returns whether the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component. If this method returns false, this Component is inheriting the Set from an ancestor, or from the current KeyboardFocusManager.

Parameters:
id - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

Returns:
true if the the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component; false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
Since:

setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled
```
public void setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(boolean focusTraversalKeysEnabled)
```
Sets whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component. Components for which focus traversal keys are disabled receive key events for focus traversal keys. Components for which focus traversal keys are enabled do not see these events; instead, the events are automatically converted to traversal operations.

Parameters:
focusTraversalKeysEnabled - whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component

```
Returns whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component. Components for which focus traversal keys are disabled receive key events for focus traversal keys. Components for which focus traversal keys are enabled do not see these events; instead, the events are automatically converted to traversal operations.

Returns:

requestFocus
```
public void requestFocus()
```
Requests that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this Component is the focus owner until this Component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. If this request is denied because this Component's top-level Window cannot become the focused Window, the request will be remembered and will be granted when the Window is later focused by the user.
This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no Component at all. Use KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner() instead.
Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use requestFocusInWindow when possible.
Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other requestFocus methods of Component being invoked.

Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:
requestFocusInWindow(), FocusEvent, addFocusListener(java.awt.event.FocusListener), isFocusable(), isDisplayable(), KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner()

requestFocus
```
protected boolean requestFocus(boolean temporary)
```
Requests that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this component is the focus owner until this component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. If this request is denied because this component's top-level window cannot become the focused window, the request will be remembered and will be granted when the window is later focused by the user.
This method returns a boolean value. If false is returned, the request is guaranteed to fail. If true is returned, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed, or an extraordinary event, such as disposal of the component's peer, occurs before the request can be granted by the native windowing system. Again, while a return value of true indicates that the request is likely to succeed, developers must never assume that this component is the focus owner until this component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event.
This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no component at all. Use KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner instead.
Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use requestFocusInWindow when possible.
Every effort will be made to ensure that FocusEvents generated as a result of this request will have the specified temporary value. However, because specifying an arbitrary temporary state may not be implementable on all native windowing systems, correct behavior for this method can be guaranteed only for lightweight Components. This method is not intended for general use, but exists instead as a hook for lightweight component libraries, such as Swing.
Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other requestFocus methods of Component being invoked.

Parameters:
temporary - true if the focus change is temporary, such as when the window loses the focus; for more information on temporary focus changes see the Focus Specification

Returns:
false if the focus change request is guaranteed to fail; true if it is likely to succeed

This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this Component is the focus owner until this Component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event.
This method returns a boolean value. If false is returned, the request is guaranteed to fail. If true is returned, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed, or an extraordinary event, such as disposal of the Component's peer, occurs before the request can be granted by the native windowing system. Again, while a return value of true indicates that the request is likely to succeed, developers must never assume that this Component is the focus owner until this Component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event.
This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no Component at all. Use KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner() instead.
The focus behavior of this method can be implemented uniformly across platforms, and thus developers are strongly encouraged to use this method over requestFocus when possible. Code which relies on requestFocus may exhibit different focus behavior on different platforms.
Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other requestFocus methods of Component being invoked.

Returns:
false if the focus change request is guaranteed to fail; true if it is likely to succeed

1.4

requestFocusInWindow
```
protected boolean requestFocusInWindow(boolean temporary)

Requests that this Component get the input focus, if this Component's top-level ancestor is already the focused Window. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted.

The focus behavior of this method can be implemented uniformly across platforms, and thus developers are strongly encouraged to use this method over requestFocus when possible. Code which relies on requestFocus may exhibit different focus behavior on different platforms.
Every effort will be made to ensure that FocusEvents generated as a result of this request will have the specified temporary value. However, because specifying an arbitrary temporary state may not be implementable on all native windowing systems, correct behavior for this method can be guaranteed only for lightweight components. This method is not intended for general use, but exists instead as a hook for lightweight component libraries, such as Swing.
Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other requestFocus methods of Component being invoked.

Parameters:
temporary - true if the focus change is temporary, such as when the window loses the focus; for more information on temporary focus changes see the Focus Specification

Returns:
false if the focus change request is guaranteed to fail; true if it is likely to succeed

getFocusCycleRootAncestor
```
public Container getFocusCycleRootAncestor()
```
Returns the Container which is the focus cycle root of this Component's focus traversal cycle. Each focus traversal cycle has only a single focus cycle root and each Component which is not a Container belongs to only a single focus traversal cycle. Containers which are focus cycle roots belong to two cycles: one rooted at the Container itself, and one rooted at the Container's nearest focus-cycle-root ancestor. For such Containers, this method will return the Container's nearest focus-cycle- root ancestor.

Returns:
this Component's nearest focus-cycle-root ancestor

1.4

See Also:
Container.isFocusCycleRoot()

isFocusCycleRoot
```
public boolean isFocusCycleRoot(Container container)
```

Parameters:
container - the Container to be tested

Returns:
true if the specified Container is a focus-cycle- root of this Component; false otherwise
Since:

1.4

transferFocusUpCycle
```
public void transferFocusUpCycle()
```
Transfers the focus up one focus traversal cycle. Typically, the focus owner is set to this Component's focus cycle root, and the current focus cycle root is set to the new focus owner's focus cycle root. If, however, this Component's focus cycle root is a Window, then the focus owner is set to the focus cycle root's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is unchanged.

setComponentOrientation
```
public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation o)
```
Sets the language-sensitive orientation that is to be used to order the elements or text within this component. Language-sensitive LayoutManager and Component subclasses will use this property to determine how to lay out and draw components.
At construction time, a component's orientation is set to ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN, indicating that it has not been specified explicitly. The UNKNOWN orientation behaves the same as ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT.
To set the orientation of a single component, use this method. To set the orientation of an entire component hierarchy, use applyComponentOrientation.
This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

See Also:
ComponentOrientation, invalidate()

getComponentOrientation
```
public ComponentOrientation getComponentOrientation()
```
Retrieves the language-sensitive orientation that is to be used to order the elements or text within this component. LayoutManager and Component subclasses that wish to respect orientation should call this method to get the component's orientation before performing layout or drawing.

See Also:
ComponentOrientation

applyComponentOrientation
```
public void applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation orientation)
```
Sets the ComponentOrientation property of this component and all components contained within it.
This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

Parameters:
orientation - the new component orientation of this component and the components contained within it.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if orientation is null.
Since:

1.4

See Also:
setComponentOrientation(java.awt.ComponentOrientation), getComponentOrientation(), invalidate()

getAccessibleContext
```
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
```
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this Component. The method implemented by this base class returns null. Classes that extend Component should implement this method to return the AccessibleContext associated with the subclass.

Returns:
the AccessibleContext of this Component
