Method Details

launch

public void launch()

getConfigureTypeName

public static String getConfigureTypeName()

getAttributeNames

public String[] getAttributeNames()

The attributes of an AboutScreen are: TITLE the text of the menu entry in the Help menu FILE the name of an image file in the DataArchive. The image is displayed when the menu item is selected

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractBuildable

Returns:

a list of all buildFile (XML) attribute names for this component

getAttributeDescriptions

public String[] getAttributeDescriptions()

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Return an array of Strings describing the attributes of this object. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object.

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeDescriptions in class AbstractConfigurable

Returns:

an array of Strings describing the buildFile (XML) attributes of this component. These strings are used as prompts in the Properties window for this object, when the component is configured in the Editor. The order of descriptions should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

getAttributeTypes

public Class<?>[] getAttributeTypes()

Description copied from class: AbstractConfigurable

Return the Class for the buildFile (XML) attributes of this component. Valid classes include: String, Integer, Double, Boolean, Image, Color, and KeyStroke, along with any class for which a Configurer exists in VASSAL.configure. The class determines, among other things, which type of AutoConfigurer will be used to configure the attribute when the object is configured in the Editor. The order of classes should be the same as the order of names in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeTypes in class AbstractConfigurable

getAttributeValueString

public String getAttributeValueString(String key)

Description copied from interface: AutoConfigurable

Called by the Buildable.getBuildElement(org.w3c.dom.Document) method to write the attributes into an XML element

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in interface Translatable

Specified by:

getAttributeValueString in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

Returns:

a String representation of the attribute with the given name. When initializing a module, this String value will be passed to AbstractBuildable.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object).

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String key,
Object val)

Description copied from class: AbstractBuildable

Sets a buildFile (XML) attribute value for this component. The key parameter will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames(). If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value will be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface AutoConfigurable

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface Translatable

Specified by:

setAttribute in class AbstractBuildable

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute. Will be one of those listed in AbstractBuildable.getAttributeNames()

val - If the value parameter is a String, it will be the value returned by AbstractBuildable.getAttributeValueString(java.lang.String) for the same key. If the implementing class extends AbstractConfigurable, then value can also be an instance of the corresponding Class listed in AbstractConfigurable.getAttributeTypes()

getAllowableConfigureComponents

public Class<?>[] getAllowableConfigureComponents()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Return a list of valid sub-component Classes. If a Class appears in this list, then instances of that class may be added to this component from the Configuration Window.
