Interface IlvInteractiveBehavior

All Known Implementing Classes:

IlvEventBehavior, IlvFillBehavior, IlvInheritBehavior, IlvRotationBehavior, IlvTranslateBehavior

public interface IlvInteractiveBehavior

This interface must be implemented by subclasses of IlvBehavior that want to handle mouse/keyboard events.

For an interactive behavior to receive events, an IlvGroupInteractor must be installed one or several graphic elements of the group to which the behavior is attached.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	processEvent(IlvGroup group, IlvGraphicElement element, AWTEvent event, IlvObjectInteractorContext context) This method is called by the IlvGroupInteractor when a mouse or keyboard event occurs in an element of a group that has IlvBehavior objects implementing this interface.

Method Detail

processEvent

boolean processEvent(IlvGroup group,
                     IlvGraphicElement element,
                     AWTEvent event,
                     IlvObjectInteractorContext context)

This method is called by the IlvGroupInteractor when a mouse or keyboard event occurs in an element of a group that has IlvBehavior objects implementing this interface.

Parameters:

group - the group containing the element in which the event occurred.

element - the graphic element in which the event occurred.

event - the event, which can be a MouseEvent or a KeyEvent.

context - the interactor context, which can be used to get the view transformer.

Returns:

true if the event was actually processed, or false if the event was ignored.
