Class DockableStateListenerManager

java.lang.Object
  bibliothek.gui.dock.dockable.DockableStateListenerManager

public class DockableStateListenerManager
extends Object

A handler for invoking DockableStateListeners. Can be used by Dockables.
Note:

• This listener does not create any new information, it only combines events from other listeners.
• This listener receives its events delayed in order to put as much information as possible into one event.
• Due to this delay, this listener may seem to receive events too late. However, once all events are received, the state described by this listener and by other listeners matches again.
