Class SwingPropertyChangeSupport

java.lang.Object

java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport

javax.swing.event.SwingPropertyChangeSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public final class SwingPropertyChangeSupport extends PropertyChangeSupport

This subclass of java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport is almost identical in functionality. The only difference is if constructed with SwingPropertyChangeSupport(sourceBean, true) it ensures listeners are only ever notified on the Event Dispatch Thread.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

Constructor Details

SwingPropertyChangeSupport

public SwingPropertyChangeSupport(Object sourceBean)

Constructs a SwingPropertyChangeSupport object.

Parameters:: sourceBean - The bean to be given as the source for any events.
Throws:: NullPointerException - if sourceBean is null

SwingPropertyChangeSupport

public SwingPropertyChangeSupport(Object sourceBean, boolean notifyOnEDT)

Constructs a SwingPropertyChangeSupport object.

Parameters:: sourceBean - the bean to be given as the source for any events; notifyOnEDT - whether to notify listeners on the Event Dispatch Thread only
Throws:: NullPointerException - if sourceBean is null
Since:: 1.6

Method Details

firePropertyChange

public void firePropertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)

Fires a property change event to listeners that have been registered to track updates of all properties or a property with the specified name.

No event is fired if the given event's old and new values are equal and non-null.

If isNotifyOnEDT() is true and called off the Event Dispatch Thread this implementation uses SwingUtilities.invokeLater to send out the notification on the Event Dispatch Thread. This ensures listeners are only ever notified on the Event Dispatch Thread.

Overrides:: firePropertyChange in class PropertyChangeSupport
Parameters:: evt - the PropertyChangeEvent to be fired
Throws:: NullPointerException - if evt is null
Since:: 1.6

isNotifyOnEDT

public boolean isNotifyOnEDT()

Returns notifyOnEDT property.

Returns:

notifyOnEDT property

Since:

1.6
