Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue(String key)

Enabled: Gets one of this object's properties using the associated key.

putValue

public void putValue(String key,
                     Object value)

Suppressed: Sets one of this object's properties using the associated key. If the value has changed, a PropertyChangeEvent is sent to listeners.

Parameters:

key - a String containing the key

value - an Object value

setEnabled

public void setEnabled(boolean b)

Enabled: Sets the enabled state of the Action. When enabled, any component associated with this object is active and able to fire this object's actionPerformed method. If the value has changed, a PropertyChangeEvent is sent to listeners.

Parameters:

b - true to enable this Action, false to disable it

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled()

Enabled: Returns the enabled state of the Action. When enabled, any component associated with this object is active and able to fire this object's actionPerformed method.

Returns:

true if this Action is enabled

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Suppressed: Adds a PropertyChange listener. Containers and attached components use these methods to register interest in this Action object. When its enabled state or other property changes, the registered listeners are informed of the change.

Parameters:

listener - a PropertyChangeListener object

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Suppressed: Removes a PropertyChange listener.

Parameters:
