public class ActionGroup
extends Object
extends Object

A group of Actions.

Actions are generally organized into groups. All Actions that would make sense to use in a particular context should be in a single group. Multiple ActionGroups may be used for a particular user interface. In fact, it is expected that most nontrivial applications will make use of multiple ActionGroups. For example, in an application that can edit multiple documents, you would likely have one ActionGroup holding global Actions (e.g. quit, about, new), and one ActionGroup per document holding Actions that act on that document (eg. save, cut/copy/paste, etc). Each Window's Menus would be constructed from a combination of two ActionGroups.

Constructor Detail

ActionGroup

public ActionGroup(String name)

Create a new ActionGroup.

Parameters:: name - TODO what the name is for? it seems only useful for accelerator questions that we will expose in another way!

Method Detail

addAction

public void addAction(Action action)

Adds an Action to this ActionGroup.

getSensitive

public boolean getSensitive()

Whether this ActionGroup is sensitive, i.e., if its Actions can be activated by users. Take care that even if the ActionGroup is sensitive, any or all of its Actions may not be.

getVisible

public boolean getVisible()

Get if this ActionGroup is visible for the user. Take care that even if the ActionGroup is visible, its Actions might not be.

setSensitive

public void setSensitive(boolean sensitive)

Sets whether Actions in this ActionGroup can respond to user events.

Notice that both the Action itself and the ActionGroup need to be sensitive to actually allow the user to activate the Action. See Action.setSensitive() for the other half of this equation.

setVisible

public void setVisible(boolean visible)

Sets whether Actions in this ActionGroup are visible to the user.

Notice that both the Action itself and the ActionGroup need to be visible in order the users can see them displayed on screen. See Action.setVisible() for the corresponding per-Action method.
