public class CheckBoxActionGroup
extends ActionList

Contains a list of CheckBoxActions and applies mutual exlusion rules. If one check box changes, operations are performed on the other check boxes such as turning them off, etc.. This is to simulat radio button groups at the action level, but with a little more configurability. Any new items added to the ActionList are automatically included in the state tracking for the group.

setupListeners

protected void setupListeners()

initializeClone

protected void initializeClone(ActionList clone)

Description copied from class: ActionList

Called by either clone method to do custom clone initialization. This is to avoid having to override both clone and deepClone to support proper cloning. Default implementation does nothing. Remember, any this.foo type of references are refering to the original object and clone.foo is refering to the clone version. Seems obvious but it is easy to forget. Note: this will always be called at the end of clone() or deepClone() so any nested actions will have already been cloned.

Overrides:

initializeClone in class ActionList

updateState

protected void updateState(CheckBoxAction action)

inheritProperties

protected void inheritProperties(javax.swing.Action a)

Called to have this action inherit some display properties from the specified action.
