Interface PacketInfoUI

All Superinterfaces:: PacketUI

All Known Implementing Classes:: DefaultPacketViewer

public interface PacketInfoUI
extends PacketUI

An interface through which a user can interact with a specific set of details for a specific packet. Several PacketInfoUI interfaces may be open for the same packet simultaneously within a single PacketUI. An example is when a larger PacketUI uses a tabbed pane, each tab containing a single PacketInfoUI.

Only one PacketInfoUI within a single PacketUI should be editable at any given time. Preferably, when one such sub-interface is being edited, the others will blank out their details and disable editing accordingly until the initial editing has been cancelled or committed to the engine.

The parent PacketUI should listen to each sub-interface for UIHasChangesEvent events to know when editing has begun on an interface. It should notify all other sub-interfaces that editing has begun by calling editingElsewhere(), and should notify them that editing has finished by calling reflectPacket().

Note however that a sub-interface should only be adjusted or refreshed when it becomes visible, to save unnecessary calculation. Thus such calls to editingElsewhere() or reflectPacket() should be delayed until the appropriate sub-interface becomes visible.

Method Summary
