Class UIAction

java.lang.Object
  org.jdesktop.swingx.UIAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, EventListener, Action

public abstract class UIAction
extends Object
implements Action

UIAction is the basis of all of basic's action classes that are used in an ActionMap. Subclasses need to override actionPerformed.

A typical subclass will look like:

    private static class Actions extends UIAction {
        Actions(String name) {
            super(name);
        }

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
            if (getName() == "selectAll") {
                selectAll();
            }
            else if (getName() == "cancelEditing") {
                cancelEditing();
            }
        }
    }
 

Subclasses that wish to conditionalize the enabled state should override isEnabled(Component), and be aware that the passed in Component may be null.

This is based on sun.swing.UIAction in J2SE 1.5
