Form (codenameone-core 7.0.96 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.codename1.ui.Component
- - com.codename1.ui.Container
  - - com.codename1.ui.Form

All Implemented Interfaces:

Animation, Editable, StyleListener, Iterable<Component>

Direct Known Subclasses:

Dialog
```
public class Form
extends Container
```
Top level component that serves as the root for the UI, this Container subclass works in concert with the Toolbar to create menus. By default a forms main content area (the content pane) is scrollable on the Y axis and has a FlowLayout as is the default.

Form contains a title bar area which in newer application is replaced by the Toolbar. Calling Container.add(com.codename1.ui.Component) or all similar methods on the Form delegates to the contenPane so calling form.add(cmp) is equivalent to form.getContentPane().add(cmp). Normally this shouldn't matter, however in some cases such as animation we need to use the content pane directly e.g. form.getContentPane().animateLayout(200) will work whereas form.animateLayout(200) will fail.

- Field Detail
  - focusScrolling
```
protected boolean focusScrolling
```
    Indicates whether lists and containers should scroll only via focus and thus "jump" when moving to a larger component as was the case in older versions of Codename One.
- Constructor Detail
  - Form
```
public Form()
```
    Default constructor creates a simple form
  - Form
```
public Form(Layout contentPaneLayout)
```
    Constructor that accepts a layout
    
    Parameters:
    
    contentPaneLayout - the layout for the content pane
  - Form
```
public Form(String title)
```
    Sets the title after invoking the constructor
    
    Parameters:
    
    title - the form title
  - Form
```
public Form(String title,
            Layout contentPaneLayout)
```
    Sets the title after invoking the constructor
    
    Parameters:
    
    title - the form title
    
    contentPaneLayout - the layout for the content pane
- Method Detail
  - setAllowEnableLayoutOnPaint
```
public void setAllowEnableLayoutOnPaint(boolean allow)
```
    Enabling "layoutOnPaint" behaviour. Setting this flag to true will cause this form and all of its containers to lay themselves out whenever they are painted. This carries a performance penalty.
    
    Historical Note: "layoutOnPaint" behaviour has been "on" since the original commit to Google code in 2012, but it isn't clear, now, why it was necessary. It was likely to fix an edge case in certain layouts that is no longer relevant. As of 7.0, we are disabling this behaviour by default because it carries such performance penalties, but allowing developers to opt-in to it using this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    allow - Whether to allow layoutOnPaint behaviour in this this form and it's containers.
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
    
    See Also:
    
    Container.enableLayoutOnPaint
  - addPasteListener
```
public void addPasteListener(ActionListener l)
```
    Adds a listener to be notified when the user has initiated a paste event. This will primarily occur only on desktop devices which allow the user to initiate a paste outside the UI of the app itself, either using a key code (Command/Ctrl V), or a menu (Edit > Paste).
    The event will be fired after the paste action has updated the clipboard contents, so you can access the clipboard contents via Display.getPasteDataFromClipboard().
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - Listener registered to receive paste events.
    
    Since:

  - setOverrideInvisibleAreaUnderVKB
```
public void setOverrideInvisibleAreaUnderVKB(int invisibleAreaUnderVKB)
```
    Overrides the invisible area under the virtual keyboard with a given value. This is used by lightweight components to simulate the virtual keyboard, so that they will respect setFormBottomPaddingEditingMode(boolean).
    Warning: This setting is generally for internal use only, and should only be used if you know what you are doing. After setting this value to a non-negative value, it will override the "real" area under the VKB if the read VKB is shown.
    
    To reset this after the lightweight component is hidden, set the value to -1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    invisibleAreaUnderVKB - The area hidden by the VKB in pixels.
    
    Since:
    
    8.0
  - getInvisibleAreaUnderVKB

  - getSafeArea
```
public Rectangle getSafeArea()
```
    This method returns a rectangle defining the "safe" area of the display, which excludes areas on the screen that are covered by notches, task bars, rounded corners, etc.
    This feature was primarily added to deal with the task bar on the iPhone X, which is displayed on the screen near the bottom edge, and can interfere with components that are laid out at the bottom of the screen.
    
    Most platforms will simply return a Rectangle with bounds (0, 0, displayWidth, displayHeight). iPhone X will return a rectangle that excludes the notch, and task bar regions.
    
    Returns:
