    • createFont

      public static Font createFont(String name, int style, int size)
      Creates font. If there is no permission to access font file, it will try to create the font directly from font file that is bundled as part of jar.
      Parameters:
      name - the font name.
      style - the font style.
      size - the font size.

    • isAWTEventListenerDisabled

      public static boolean isAWTEventListenerDisabled()
      Checks if AWTEventListener is disabled. This flag can be set by user. If false, JIDE code will read the value and not use AWTEventListener. The reason we need this flag is because AWTEventListener needs a special security permission. If applet, it will throw security if the user policy doesn't have the correct permission.
      Returns:
      true if AWTEventListener is disabled.
    • setAWTEventListenerDisabled

      public static void setAWTEventListenerDisabled(boolean AWTEventListenerDisabled)
      Enables or disables the usage of AWTEventListener. If you want to change it, you should change the value at the beginning of your main method.

      AWTEventListenerDisabled - true or false.
