| /** |
| * The <code>Action</code> interface provides a useful extension to the |
| * <code>ActionListener</code> |
| * interface in cases where the same functionality may be accessed by |
| * several controls. |
| * <p> |
| * In addition to the <code>actionPerformed</code> method defined by the |
| * <code>ActionListener</code> interface, this interface allows the |
| * application to define, in a single place: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>One or more text strings that describe the function. These strings |
| * can be used, for example, to display the flyover text for a button |
| * or to set the text in a menu item. |
| * <li>One or more icons that depict the function. These icons can be used |
| * for the images in a menu control, or for composite entries in a more |
| * sophisticated user interface. |
| * <li>The enabled/disabled state of the functionality. Instead of having |
| * to separately disable the menu item and the toolbar button, the |
| * application can disable the function that implements this interface. |
| * All components which are registered as listeners for the state change |
| * then know to disable event generation for that item and to modify the |
| * display accordingly. |
| * </ul> |
| * <p> |
| * This interface can be added to an existing class or used to create an |
| * adapter (typically, by subclassing <code>AbstractAction</code>). |
| * The <code>Action</code> object |
| * can then be added to multiple <code>Action</code>-aware containers |
| * and connected to <code>Action</code>-capable |
| * components. The GUI controls can then be activated or |
| * deactivated all at once by invoking the <code>Action</code> object's |
| * <code>setEnabled</code> method. |
| * <p> |
| * Note that <code>Action</code> implementations tend to be more expensive |
| * in terms of storage than a typical <code>ActionListener</code>, |
| * which does not offer the benefits of centralized control of |
| * functionality and broadcast of property changes. For this reason, |
| * you should take care to only use <code>Action</code>s where their benefits |
| * are desired, and use simple <code>ActionListener</code>s elsewhere. |
| * <br> |
| * |
| * <h3><a id="buttonActions"></a>Swing Components Supporting <code>Action</code></h3> |
| * <p> |
| * Many of Swing's components have an <code>Action</code> property. When |
| * an <code>Action</code> is set on a component, the following things |
| * happen: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>The <code>Action</code> is added as an <code>ActionListener</code> to |
| * the component. |
| * <li>The component configures some of its properties to match the |
| * <code>Action</code>. |
| * <li>The component installs a <code>PropertyChangeListener</code> on the |
| * <code>Action</code> so that the component can change its properties |
| * to reflect changes in the <code>Action</code>'s properties. |
| * </ul> |
| * <p> |
| * The following table describes the properties used by |
| * <code>Swing</code> components that support <code>Actions</code>. |
| * In the table, <em>button</em> refers to any |
| * <code>AbstractButton</code> subclass, which includes not only |
| * <code>JButton</code> but also classes such as |
| * <code>JMenuItem</code>. Unless otherwise stated, a |
| * <code>null</code> property value in an <code>Action</code> (or a |
| * <code>Action</code> that is <code>null</code>) results in the |
| * button's corresponding property being set to <code>null</code>. |
| * |
| * <table class="striped"> |

| * <td>All buttons |
| * <td><code>NAME</code> |
| * <td>If you do not want the text of the button to mirror that |
| * of the <code>Action</code>, set the property |
| * <code>hideActionText</code> to <code>true</code>. If |
| * <code>hideActionText</code> is <code>true</code>, setting the |
| * <code>Action</code> changes the text of the button to |
| * <code>null</code> and any changes to <code>NAME</code> |
| * are ignored. <code>hideActionText</code> is useful for |
| * tool bar buttons that typically only show an <code>Icon</code>. |
| * <code>JToolBar.add(Action)</code> sets the property to |
| * <code>true</code> if the <code>Action</code> has a |
| * non-<code>null</code> value for <code>LARGE_ICON_KEY</code> or |
| * <code>SMALL_ICON</code>. |
| * <tr valign="top" style="text-align:left"> |
| * <td><b><code>displayedMnemonicIndex</code></b> |
| * <td>All buttons |
| * <td><code>DISPLAYED_MNEMONIC_INDEX_KEY</code> |
| * <td>If the value of <code>DISPLAYED_MNEMONIC_INDEX_KEY</code> is |
| * beyond the bounds of the text, it is ignored. When |
| * <code>setAction</code> is called, if the value from the |
| * <code>Action</code> is <code>null</code>, the displayed |
| * mnemonic index is not updated. In any subsequent changes to |
| * <code>DISPLAYED_MNEMONIC_INDEX_KEY</code>, <code>null</code> |
| * is treated as -1. |
| * <tr valign="top" style="text-align:left"> |
| * <td><b><code>icon</code></b> |
| * <td>All buttons except of <code>JCheckBox</code>, |
| * <code>JToggleButton</code> and <code>JRadioButton</code>. |
| * <td>either <code>LARGE_ICON_KEY</code> or |
| * <code>SMALL_ICON</code> |
| * <td>The <code>JMenuItem</code> subclasses only use |
| * <code>SMALL_ICON</code>. All other buttons will use |
| * <code>LARGE_ICON_KEY</code>; if the value is <code>null</code> they |
| * use <code>SMALL_ICON</code>. |

| * <td><code>JToggleButton</code>, <code>JCheckBox</code>, |
| * <code>JRadioButton</code>, <code>JCheckBoxMenuItem</code> and |
| * <code>JRadioButtonMenuItem</code> |
| * <td><code>SELECTED_KEY</code> |
| * <td>Components that honor this property only use |
| * the value if it is {@code non-null}. For example, if |
| * you set an {@code Action} that has a {@code null} |
| * value for {@code SELECTED_KEY} on a {@code JToggleButton}, the |
| * {@code JToggleButton} will not update it's selected state in |
| * any way. Similarly, any time the {@code JToggleButton}'s |
| * selected state changes it will only set the value back on |
| * the {@code Action} if the {@code Action} has a {@code non-null} |
| * value for {@code SELECTED_KEY}. |
| * <br> |
| * Components that honor this property keep their selected state |
| * in sync with this property. When the same {@code Action} is used |
| * with multiple components, all the components keep their selected |
| * state in sync with this property. Mutually exclusive |
| * buttons, such as {@code JToggleButton}s in a {@code ButtonGroup}, |
| * force only one of the buttons to be selected. As such, do not |
| * use the same {@code Action} that defines a value for the |
| * {@code SELECTED_KEY} property with multiple mutually |
| * exclusive buttons. |
| * </tbody> |
| * </table> |
| * <p> |
| * <code>JPopupMenu</code>, <code>JToolBar</code> and <code>JMenu</code> |
| * all provide convenience methods for creating a component and setting the |
| * <code>Action</code> on the corresponding component. Refer to each of |
| * these classes for more information. |
| * <p> |
| * <code>Action</code> uses <code>PropertyChangeListener</code> to |
| * inform listeners the <code>Action</code> has changed. The beans |
| * specification indicates that a <code>null</code> property name can |
| * be used to indicate multiple values have changed. By default Swing |
| * components that take an <code>Action</code> do not handle such a |
| * change. To indicate that Swing should treat <code>null</code> |
| * according to the beans specification set the system property |
| * <code>swing.actions.reconfigureOnNull</code> to the <code>String</code> |
| * value <code>true</code>. |
