18.9 java.awt.CardLayout (JDK 1.0)

This class is a LayoutManager that makes each of the components it manages as large as the container and ensures that only one is visible at a time. The standard LayoutManager methods are called by the Container object, and should not be called directly by applet or application code. first(), last(), next(), previous(), and show() make a particular Component in the Container visible. The names with which the components are added to the container are used only by the show() method.

public class CardLayout extends Object implements LayoutManager2, Serializable {
    // Public Constructors
            public CardLayout();
            public CardLayout(int hgap, int vgap);
    // Public Instance Methods
        1.1 public void addLayoutComponent(Component comp, Object constraints);  // From LayoutManager2
          # public void addLayoutComponent(String name, Component comp);  // From LayoutManager
            public void first(Container parent);
        1.1 public int getHgap();
        1.1 public float getLayoutAlignmentX(Container parent);  // From LayoutManager2
        1.1 public float getLayoutAlignmentY(Container parent);  // From LayoutManager2
        1.1 public int getVgap();
        1.1 public void invalidateLayout(Container target);  // From LayoutManager2
            public void last(Container parent);
            public void layoutContainer(Container parent);  // From LayoutManager
        1.1 public Dimension maximumLayoutSize(Container target);  // From LayoutManager2
            public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container parent);  // From LayoutManager
            public void next(Container parent);
            public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container parent);  // From LayoutManager
            public void previous(Container parent);
            public void removeLayoutComponent(Component comp);  // From LayoutManager
        1.1 public void setHgap(int hgap);
        1.1 public void setVgap(int vgap);
            public void show(Container parent, String name);
            public String toString();  // Overrides Object
}
