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 the Javascript sendNSCommand(name, arg1, arg2, ...) function to send commands to the Java application.

  • Cookies:

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

  • Navigation Parameters:

    Define HTTP headers and/or POST data to send along with the HTTP navigation request.

  • Classpath Pages:

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

  • Confirmed Disposal:

    Dispose a web browser giving the current page the opportunity to ask for confirmation.

  • Functions:

    Register a Java function that can be invoked from Javascript.

  • 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.

  • Custom Decorators:

    Modify the browser's decorator, to add our own menus and buttons.

  • Full-page Capture:

    Capture the image of the page, including the portions that are outside of the viewport of the main document.

• 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.

  • Options and Playlist:

    Load a file to VLC player, passing certain options (start time to 30, no audio and no title) using the playlist.

• JHTMLEditor
  
  
  • FCKEditor Example:

    Graphically edit some HTML, get and set the HTML content, using the FCKEditor implementation.

  • CKEditor Example:

    Graphically edit some HTML, get and set the HTML content, using the CKEditor implementation.

  • TinyMCE Example:

    Graphically edit some HTML, get and set the HTML content, using the TinyMCE implementation.

  • Dirty Indicator:

    Track whether the editor was modified since the last time its content was set.

• 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.

• Native Dialogs
  
  
  • Simple Example:

    Use a file dialog or a directory dialog, and customize them to your needs.

• Additional Features
  
  
  • Constrain Visibility:

    Constrain the visibility to superimpose Swing and native components.
    Note that Mac only supports shapes resolving to a single rectangle.

  • 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.
    Note that Mac only supports shapes resolving to a single rectangle.

  • 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.
    Note that Mac only supports shapes resolving to a single rectangle.

  • 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().

  • Mouse & key events:

    Attach a listener for key and mouse events, and go as far as replacing the web browser popup menu with a Swing one.

• Utilities
  
  
  • File Associations:

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