## Class DefaultBoundedRangeModel

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.DefaultBoundedRangeModel

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, BoundedRangeModel

      public class DefaultBoundedRangeModel
      extends Object
      implements BoundedRangeModel, Serializable

  A generic implementation of BoundedRangeModel.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### changeEvent

          protected transient ChangeEvent changeEvent

      Only one `ChangeEvent` is needed per model instance since the event's only (read-only) state is the source property. The source of events generated here is always "this".

    - #### listenerList

          protected EventListenerList listenerList

      The listeners waiting for model changes.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### DefaultBoundedRangeModel

          public DefaultBoundedRangeModel()

      Initializes all of the properties with default values. Those values are:
      - `value` = 0
      - `extent` = 0
      - `minimum` = 0
      - `maximum` = 100
      - `adjusting` = false

    - #### DefaultBoundedRangeModel

          public DefaultBoundedRangeModel(int value,
                                          int extent,
                                          int min,
                                          int max)

      Initializes value, extent, minimum and maximum. Adjusting is false. Throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if the following constraints aren't satisfied:

           min <= value <= value+extent <= max

      Returns an array of all the change listeners registered on this `DefaultBoundedRangeModel`.
      Returns:
        all of this model's `ChangeListener`s or an empty array if no change listeners are currently registered

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string that displays all of the `BoundedRangeModel` properties.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`

    - #### getListeners

          public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType)

      Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as `FooListener`s upon this model. `FooListener`s are registered using the `addFooListener` method.

      You can specify the `listenerType` argument with a class literal, such as `FooListener.class`. For example, you can query a `DefaultBoundedRangeModel` instance `m` for its change listeners with the following code:

          ChangeListener[] cls = (ChangeListener[])(m.getListeners(ChangeListener.class));

      If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
      Parameters:
        `listenerType` - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from `java.util.EventListener`
      Returns:
        an array of all objects registered as `FooListener`s on this model, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
      Throws:
        `ClassCastException` - if `listenerType` doesn't specify a class or interface that implements `java.util.EventListener`
      Since:
        1.3

        `getChangeListeners()`
