Method Detail

activate

public void activate()
              throws Exception

Description copied from interface: LookAndFeelChanger.View

Called when this View should become the current View. If any exception is thrown from this method, the look and feel changer assumes that the change to this View was unsuccessful and the changer automatically moves on to attempt to activate the next view.

The implementation of this method should call:

 UIManager.setLookAndFeel
 

as appropriate. However, after activate returns (without throwing an exception) the LookAndFeelChanger will automatically call SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI for all of the frames and windows. If will also validate each frame and window to have components re-layout with the new look.

NOTE: This method must be called by the event handling thread (or else an IllegalStateException is thrown).

Specified by:

activate in interface LookAndFeelChanger.View

Throws:

Exception - if this View can not be activated. The stack trace will generally be sent to System.err and the look and feel changer will attempt to activate the next view.
