Class TSActionTypes

java.lang.Object

javax.swing.AbstractAction

com.jstatcom.ts.TSActionTypes

All Implemented Interfaces:

TSListAccessor, java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.EventListener, javax.swing.Action

public abstract class TSActionTypes
extends javax.swing.AbstractAction
implements TSListAccessor

This class holds default actions used by the TSList. The defined actions override execute(TSList tsList) to provide the a specific function on the underlying TSList, for example deleting all selected entries, changing the types of selected entires, etc.. The actions can be invoked via keys and/or items in the DefaultTSListPopup that is opened via a RIGHT click over the TSList.

New actions may be provided by subclassing this abstract class and setting the new action instance to the default DefaultTSListPopup. Also, existing actions may be removed from there.

If new actions should also be accessible via keys, they can be added to the DefaultTSKeyListener.

This class implements the typesave enum pattern (Joshua Bloch, "Effective Java", Item 21) . If you compare TSActionTypes, always use the == operator.

Method Detail

actionPerformed

public final void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e)

Tries to retrieve TSList and triggers doAction.

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener

Parameters:

e - an action event

doAction

public abstract void doAction(TSList tsList)

This defines the operation that is actually carried out by the action. The method must be overridden if you define a new action.

Parameters:

tsList - the TSList to operate on

enableForTSList

public void enableForTSList(TSList tsList)

Enables/disables the action according to the state of the underlying list. The default is that the action is disabled if nothing is selected. This can be changed by overriding the method. Apart from that, the currently available TSList is set.

Specified by:

enableForTSList in interface TSListAccessor

Parameters:

tsList - the TSList to be referenced by the action

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Override prevention method to enforce a.equals(b) if and only if a==b.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - object to compare with

Returns:

true if equal, false otherwise

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Override prevention method invokes super method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

hash code

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Returns the name of the actiontype, do not use for comparisons.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation
