public class ActiveContainer extends Container
Container<TT>java.awt.Container</TT> with a channel interface.
All channels are optional. The configure channel is settable from a constructor. Event channels can be added to notify the occurrence of any type of Event 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 myMouseEvent = Channel.createOne2One (new OverWriteOldestBuffer (n)); final ActiveContainer myContainer = new ActiveContainer (); myContainer.addMouseEventChannel (myMouseEvent.out ());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.

Constructs a new ActiveContainer with no configuration channel.
Constructs a new ActiveContainer with a configuration channel.
configure
- the channel for configuration events
-- can be null if no configuration is required.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a ComponentEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a ComponentListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
componentEvent
- the channel down which to send ComponentEvents.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a ContainerEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a ContainerListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
containerEvent
- the channel down which to send ContainerEvents.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a FocusEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a FocusListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
focusEvent
- the channel down which to send FocusEvents.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a KeyEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a KeyListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
keyEvent
- the channel down which to send KeyEvents.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a MouseEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a MouseListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
mouseEvent
- the channel down which to send MouseEvents.Add a new channel to this component that will be used to notify that a MouseMotionEvent has occurred. This should be used instead of registering a MouseMotionListener with the component. It is possible to add more than one Channel by calling this method multiple times If the channel passed is null, no action will be taken.
NOTE: This method must be called before this process is run.
mouseMotionEvent
- the channel down which to send MouseMotionEvents.The main body of this process.
Sets the configuration channel for this ActiveContainer. This method overwrites any configuration channel set in the constructor.
