Method Detail

isVisible

boolean isVisible()
Get the object visible state.

Returns:
The command visible state.

getLabel

java.lang.String getLabel()
Returns a short label that can be displayed to the user. Generally, the value of the returned String is considered translatable and should therefore be placed in an appropriate resource file. When possible, the returned label should be reasonably short enough to show in the navigator or explorer windows but long enough to clearly identify and distinguish the Viewable.

Returns:
a short descriptive label of the Viewable that can be shown to the user.

getToolTip

java.lang.String getToolTip()
Returns the tool tip text to show when the mouse pointer pauses over a UI component that represents this Viewable.

Returns:
the tooltip to show when the mouse pointer pauses over a UI component that represents this Viewable.

getIcon

IconDescription getIcon()
Gets a relative path to the icon. Generally, the is considered translatable, therefore, the path value be placed in an appropriate resource file. The path must be relative the Viewable implementation class file location or the resource file location if one is provided.

Returns:
The icon relative path.

toString

java.lang.String toString()
Returns the label. This overrides the toString method in java.lang.Object.

Implementors of the Viewable interface should override this as appropriate. The default implementation is the same as getLabel()

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
A short label describing this Viewable.
See Also:
Object.toString(), getLabel()

addPropertyChangeListener

void addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
Add a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. A PropertyChangeEvent will be fired in response to setting a bound property.

Parameters:
listener - A PropertyChangeListener.

removePropertyChangeListener

void removePropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)
