DJ Native Swing - Code Snippets

Here are all the code snippets from the demo application: click on their name to see the corresponding source code.
To see them running, download the DJ Native Swing distribution and launch the demo application (you can also see the source code of the snippets with syntax highlighting in the demo).

• JWebBrowser
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    This is a simple example that shows the basic configuration of an embedded web browser component.

  • Setting Content:

    Set any HTML content to the web browser.

  • Javascript Execution:

    Execute some Javascript code in the current web browser page.

  • Navigation Control:

    Control the navigation happening in the web browser from the Java application.
    This allows to block certain links and/or the creation of new windows, or to open links and/or new windows elsewhere.

  • Sending Commands:

    Use static links or simple Javascript to send some commands with arguments to the application:
        function sendCommand(command) {
          var s = 'command://' + encodeURIComponent(command);
          for(var i=1; i<arguments.length; s+='&'+encodeURIComponent(arguments[i++]));
          window.location = s;
        }

  • Cookies:

    Access and modify the cookies set by the various browser instances.

  • Classpath pages:

    Load web pages from the classpath with the help of the embedded simple web server.

  • Mozilla XPCOM Page Edition:

    Toggle edition mode of a web page by accessing the Mozilla interfaces using XPCOM.

  • Mozilla XPCOM Download Manager:

    Modify the browser's download manager using Mozilla XPCOM.

• JFlashPlayer
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Display a Flash application.

  • Variables and Flow:

    Control the flow of a Flash animation, and get/set global variables.

  • Function Calls:

    Invoke functions, with or without waiting for a result, and listen to Flash commands.

• JVLCPlayer
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Load a movie/sound file to an embedded VLC player.

• JHTMLEditor
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Graphically edit some HTML, get and set the HTML content.

  • Custom Configuration:

    Modify default behaviors with custom configuration script.

  • TinyMCE implementation:

    Use the TinyMCE editor implementation instead of the default FCKeditor.

• JSyntaxHighlighter
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Display some content with syntax highlighting from one of the available languages (C++, C#, css, Delphi, Java, JS, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, VB, XML, HTML).

• JWMediaPlayer (win32)
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Load a movie/sound file to an embedded multimedia player.

• Additional Features
  
  
  • Constrain Visibility:

    Constrain the visibility to superimpose Swing and native components.

  • Deferred Destruction:

    Defer destruction until finalization to add/remove the same component.
    It is not destroyed when removed but on disposeNativePeer() or garbage collection.

  • Hierarchy Proxying:

    Use a proxied component hierarchy for the native components to allow re-parenting and change of component Z-order.

  • Thumbnail Creation:

    Create a thumbnail by painting a native component to an image.

  • Pseudo Transparency:

    Simulate alpha blending of a Swing component over a native component. This works rather well over static content.

  • Component Life Cycle:

    Present the life cycle of a component and when method calls happen.
    Also highlight how runInSequence(Runnable) can be useful, and for special needs how to use initializeNativePeer().

• Utilities
  
  
  • File Associations:

    Get the file type associations, and use them to launch files.
