Class CommandEvent

public class netscape.application.CommandEvent
    extends netscape.application.Event
    implements netscape.application.EventProcessor
{
    /* Constructors
     */
    public CommandEvent();
    public CommandEvent(Target, String, Object);

    /* Methods
     */
    public String command();
    public Object data();
    public void processEvent(Event);
    public void setCommand(String);
    public void setData(Object);
    public void setTarget(Target);
    public Target target();
}

Event subclass that sends the performCommand() message to its Target when processed. To use, you must instantiate a CommandEvent, configure its Target, command and data, and add it to an EventLoop.

See Also:: performCommandAndWait, performCommandLater

Constructors

CommandEvent

  public CommandEvent()

Constructs a CommandEvent.

CommandEvent

  public CommandEvent(Target target,
                      String command,
                      Object data)

Convenience for constructing a CommandEvent. Equivalent to the following code:

    newEvent = new CommandEvent();
    newEvent.setTarget(target);
    newEvent.setCommand(command);
    newEvent.setData(data);

Methods

setTarget

  public void setTarget(Target target)

Sets the CommandEvent's Target.

target

  public Target target()

Returns the CommandEvent's Target.

See Also:: setTarget

setCommand

  public void setCommand(String command)

Sets the CommandEvent's command.

command

  public String command()

Returns the CommandEvent's command.

See Also:: setCommand

setData

  public void setData(Object data)

Sets the CommandEvent's data object, the object sent in the performCommand() message to its Target.

See Also:: setTarget

data

  public Object data()

Returns the CommandEvent's data object.

See Also:: setData

processEvent

  public void processEvent(Event event)

Called by an EventLoop to process the CommandEvent, which results in the CommandEvent sending its Target the performCommand() message. You should never call this method.
