Method Detail

addWindowProviderListener

public void addWindowProviderListener(WindowProviderListener listener)

Description copied from interface: WindowProvider

Adds a new listener to this provider. The listener should be called when the window provided by this object changes.

Specified by:

addWindowProviderListener in interface WindowProvider

Parameters:

listener - the new listener

removeWindowProviderListener

public void removeWindowProviderListener(WindowProviderListener listener)

Description copied from interface: WindowProvider

Removes a listener from this provider

Specified by:

removeWindowProviderListener in interface WindowProvider

Parameters:

listener - the listener to remove

searchWindow

public Window searchWindow()

Description copied from interface: WindowProvider

Tries to find a window. The result should either be a Frame or a Dialog, and a plain Window only as last resort. If possible the main-frame or another important window that will not be closed soon should be returned. Visible windows are preferred over non visible ones. This method is not guaranteed to have success, null is a valid result. This method is not required to return always the same window, however the WindowProviderListeners should be informed when the result changes.

Specified by:

searchWindow in interface WindowProvider

Returns:

if possible a visible Frame which won't be closed in the near future, any window which does not fulfill the requirements or null if no window is available at all.

isShowing

public boolean isShowing()

Description copied from interface: WindowProvider

Tells whether this WindowProvider represents a window that is visible. Under normal circumstances this method would return:
Window window = sarchWindow();
return window == null ? false : window.isShowing();
This method is explicitly allowed to return any value it likes. The result of this method does not have to correspond with reality.

Specified by:

isShowing in interface WindowProvider

Returns:

whether this providers window is visible or not
