Class AbstractSelectionAction

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractAction
      org.jhotdraw.app.action.edit.AbstractSelectionAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.EventListener, javax.swing.Action

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClearSelectionAction, CopyAction, CutAction, DuplicateAction, PasteAction, SelectAllAction

public abstract class AbstractSelectionAction
extends javax.swing.AbstractAction

AbstractSelectionAction acts on the selection of a target component.

By default, the action is disabled when the target component is disabled or has no selection. If the target component is null, updateEnabled does nothing. You can change this behavior by overriding method updateEnabled().

This action registers a WeakPropertyChangeListener on the component.

Design Patterns

Framework
The interfaces and classes listed below work together:
Contract: EditableComponent, JTextComponent.
Client: AbstractSelectionAction, DeleteAction, DuplicateAction, SelectAllAction, ClearSelectionAction.
