Class VariablePaneDispatcher

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Thread
      javatools.swing.VariablePaneDispatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:: java.lang.Runnable

public abstract class VariablePaneDispatcher
extends java.lang.Thread

It represents an "event dispatcher" to be used to manage a "variable pane" i.e. a pane that changes depending on a particular selection in another place of the application. You have to inherit only this method: initialize: to init the panels, if you need it. Set the panelName to your own name, to differentiate between different VariablePaneDispatcher's. Create your panels, put them in type2panel HashMap, depending on the type of the (Clippable) object to be displayed. Put your messages in type2message HashMap (depending on ther type) and make all you need for your panels. The panels must be of the type IndexablePanel. All the dispatching is internal. Use this sequence of commands: VariablePaneDispatcher disp = new VariablePaneDispatcher(); disp.setContainer(theContainerToContainThePanels); disp.setStatusLabelSync(myStatusLabelSync); disp.start(); -- repeat disp.setObject(myOwnClippableObject); -- until you need it. disp.stopAll();
