public class CContentArea
extends JPanel
implements CStationContainer

A component that is normally set into the center of the main- JFrame. This component can display and manage some CDockables.
This component contains in the center a SplitDockStation allowing to show several CDockables at the same time. At each border a FlapDockStation allows to show "minimized" CDockables.
Note: clients should not create CContentAreas directly, they should use CControl.getContentArea() to get the default content area, or CControl.createContentArea(String) to create a new content area.

Description copied from interface: CStationContainer

Assuming container is a type of CStationContainer that is known to this, and assuming station is a child of container: this method returns one of this children that has the same relative location in respect to this as station has to container. For example if station is the center area of a CGridArea, and this is a CGridArea as well, then this method would return the center area of this.

Specified by:

getMatchingStation in interface CStationContainer

Parameters:

container - some kind of CStationContainer, may be a type that is known to this or not.

station - some child of container

Returns:

a child of this, such that the location of the child in relation to this is equivalent to the location of station in relation to container. A value of null indicates that this method did not find a suitable child. If possible the result of this method and station should be of the same type.
