New Event Set Feature SmartGuide

Use the SmartGuide - New Event Set Feature window to select an existing event listener and add it as an event set feature. An event set consists of an event listener interface with associated event object and multicaster classes. The multicaster enables multiple listeners for an event.

The event listener contains one or more methods that respond to the event. Each listener method is added as an event feature. Method features are also added that other beans can use to add or remove the listener. These methods enable other beans to start and stop listening for the event.

Fields

Event name
The name of the event set feature. The initial selection is action. You can select a different event set from the drop-down list.
Event listener
The name of the event listener. The initial selection depends on the selected event set. For the action event, the initial listener is java.awt.event.ActionListener. You can select a different event listener from the drop-down list. If you need to select a fully-qualified name for the particular listener you want, select the Browse button for the listener.
