Constructor Detail

ComponentHierarchyObserver

public ComponentHierarchyObserver(DockController controller)

Creates a new observer.

Parameters:

controller - the controller whose Dockables will be observed.

Method Detail

getComponents

public Set<Component> getComponents()

Gets a Set containing all Components which are used on Dockables known in the realm of the DockController of this observer.

Returns:

the set of Components.

getController

public DockController getController()

Gets the controller in whose realm this observer searches for Components.

Returns:

the controller

addListener

public void addListener(ComponentHierarchyObserverListener listener)

Adds a listener to this observer.

Parameters:

listener - the new listener, not null

removeListener

public void removeListener(ComponentHierarchyObserverListener listener)

Removes a listener from this observer.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to remove

listeners

protected ComponentHierarchyObserverListener[] listeners()

Gets an array containing all listeners that are registered at this observer.

Returns:

the list of listeners

add

public void add(Component component)

Adds component and all its children to the set of known Components. Components that are already known will not be registered twice. This observer will notice when a child of component changes and update itself accordingly.

Parameters:

component - the new component

remove

public void remove(Component component)

Removes component and all its children from the set of known Components. If a child was added as a root, then the recursion stops there because roots can't be removed implicitly.

Parameters:

component - the component to remove
