Method Summary

void	addDependency(EventList dependency, ListEventListener listener) Deprecated. replaced with setRelatedSubject(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object), which has different semantics and takes different arguments, but accomplishes the same goal
void	clearRelatedListener(Object subject, Object relatedListener) Detach the subject from its related listener.
void	clearRelatedSubject(Object listener) Detach the listener from its related subject.
void	removeDependency(EventList dependency, ListEventListener listener) Deprecated. replaced with clearRelatedSubject(java.lang.Object), which has different semantics and takes different arguments, but accomplishes the same goal
void	setRelatedListener(Object subject, Object relatedListener) Attach the specified subject to the specified listener, so that the listener's dependencies are satisfied before the subject is notified.
void	setRelatedSubject(Object listener, Object relatedSubject) Attach the specified listener to the specified subject, so that when dependencies are being prepared, notifying the listener will be considered equivalent to notifying the subject.

Method Detail

addDependency

void addDependency(EventList dependency,
                   ListEventListener listener)

Deprecated. replaced with setRelatedSubject(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object), which has different semantics and takes different arguments, but accomplishes the same goal

Requires that the specified EventList be updated before the specified ListEventListener which depends on it. Dependencies are automatically managed by most EventLists, so this method shall only be used for EventLists that have indirect dependencies.

removeDependency

void removeDependency(EventList dependency,
                      ListEventListener listener)

Deprecated. replaced with clearRelatedSubject(java.lang.Object), which has different semantics and takes different arguments, but accomplishes the same goal

Removes the specified EventList as a dependency for the specified ListEventListener. This ListEventListener will continue to receive ListEvents, but there will be no dependency tracking when such events are fired.

setRelatedSubject

void setRelatedSubject(Object listener,
                       Object relatedSubject)

Attach the specified listener to the specified subject, so that when dependencies are being prepared, notifying the listener will be considered equivalent to notifying the subject. This makes it possible to support multiple listeners in a single subject, typically using inner classes.

For example, the CompositeList class uses multiple listeners for a single subject, and uses this method to define that relationship.

clearRelatedSubject

void clearRelatedSubject(Object listener)

Detach the listener from its related subject.

setRelatedListener

void setRelatedListener(Object subject,
                        Object relatedListener)

Attach the specified subject to the specified listener, so that the listener's dependencies are satisfied before the subject is notified. This makes it possible for a single listener to have multiple subjects, typically using inner classes.

For example, the ListSelection class uses a single listener for multiple subjects (selected and unselected), and uses this method to define that relationship.

clearRelatedListener

void clearRelatedListener(Object subject,
                          Object relatedListener)

Detach the subject from its related listener.
