Getting Started

JideBuilder will let you create Jide components and standard Swing components as SwingBuilder does, because it doesn't override the default names of previosuly registered components in SwingBuilder, this means that you can mix both types of components with the same builder.

def jide = new JideBuilder() def frame = jide.frame( id: 'frame', title: 'JideBuilder' ){ panel( layout: new BorderLayout(5,5) ){ button( label: "Swing", constraints: BorderLayout.WEST ) jideButton( label: "Jide", constraints: BorderLayout.EAST ) textField( constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH ) calculator( constraints: BorderLayout.CENTER ) } } There are 5 *Searchable components that will add searching capabilities to a previously created widget or an internal one, and at the same time will expose the wrapped widget if an 'id' attribute was provided, for example ComboBoxSearchable:

def jide = new JideBuilder() def frame = jide.frame( id: 'frame', title: 'JideBuilder' ){ panel( layout: new BorderLayout(5,5) ){ comboBox( id: "mycombo", items: [1,2,3] ) comboBoxSearchable( id: "c1", comboBox: jide.mycombo ) comboBoxSearchable( id: "c2", items: [4,5,6] ) } } assert jide.ci_comboBox == jide.mycombo assert jide.c2_comboBox.class == JComboBox JIDE Common Layer defines a basic structure for dialogs with StandardDialog, which is an abstract class, you may create your own dialogs based on that template by calling 'standardDialog()', by default all 3 panels will be empty, but yout can provide your own content by calling 'dialogBannerPanel()', 'dialogContentPanel()' and 'dialogButtonPanel()' inside its closure.

Albafetical List (Non JIDE components)

Element	Class	Notes
svgIcon	ResizableSVGIcon	Additional properties: path: same as svgResourcePath but allows aliases trackSize: enables/disables resizing (default: false) resizePercentage: controls how much the icon will change size, value must be in range 10..100 (default: 100) retainAspectRatio: controls how resizing will take effect (default: true) size: alias for 'preferredSize'

Extras

• All JTextComponents (even those created with regular SwingBuilder methods) will accept a 'selectAll' property, which will call com.jidesoft.swing.SelectAllUtils.install() on the component.
• SearchableBar has an additional property 'install' which will register a SearchableBar.Installer automatically into the inmediate container. This property must be a Map and may have the following properties:
  • constraints: must be a valid Object accepted by the container's layout [required].
  • keyStroke: must be a javax.swing.KeyStroke, defaults to CTRL + F [optional].
