public class ActiveCheckbox extends Checkbox
Checkbox<TT>java.awt.Checkbox</TT> with a channel interface.
All channels are optional. The configure and event channels are settable from a constructor. The event channel delivers the generated java.awt.ItemEvent whenever the ActiveCheckbox is operated. Other event channels can be added to notify the occurrence of any other events the component generates (by calling the appropriate addXXXEventChannel method before the process is run). Messages can be sent down the configure channel at any time to configure the component. See the table below for details.
All channels are managed by independent internal handler processes. It is, therefore, safe for a serial application process both to service an event channel and configure the component -- no deadlock can occur.
IMPORTANT: it is essential that event channels from this process are always serviced -- otherwise the Java Event Thread will be blocked and the GUI will stop responding. A simple way to guarantee this is to use channels configured with overwriting buffers. For example:
final One2OneChannel myCheckboxEvent = Channel.createOne2One (new OverWriteOldestBuffer (n)); final ActiveCheckbox myCheckbox = new ActiveCheckbox (null, myCheckboxEvent);This will ensure that the Java Event Thread will never be blocked. Slow or inattentive readers may miss rapidly generated events, but the n most recent events will always be available.
