  getFrameDragSource()

• getFrameDragSource

  java.awt.Component getFrameDragSource()

  Returns the Component that is used as a frame drag source. When this DockingStub is floated into an external frame, that frame may or may not have a titlebar for repositioning. The Component returned by this method will be setup with appropriate event listeners such that dragging them will serve to reposition the containing frame as if they were the frame titlebar. If the Component returned by this method and the one returned by getDragSource() is the same, then then "frame reposition" behavior will supercede any "drag-to-dock" behavior while this stub is in a floating state.

• getPersistentId

  java.lang.String getPersistentId()

  Returns a String identifier that is unique within a JVM instance, but persistent across JVM instances. This is used for configuration mangement, allowing the JVM to recognize a Dockable instance within an application instance, persist the ID, and recall it in later application instances. The ID should be unique within an appliation instance so that there are no collisions with other Dockable instances, but it should also be consistent from JVM to JVM so that the association between a Dockable instance and its ID can be remembered from session to session.

  The framework performs indexing on the persistent ID. Consequently, this method may not return a null reference.

• getTabText

  java.lang.String getTabText()

  Gets the tab text for this class.

  Returns:

  the text placed in a JTabbedPane tab.
