AbstractDocument.DefaultDocumentEvent

public AbstractDocument.DefaultDocumentEvent(int offs,
                                             int len,
                                             DocumentEvent.EventType type)
Constructs a change record.
Parameters:
offs - the offset into the document of the change >= 0
len - the length of the change >= 0
type - the type of event (DocumentEvent.EventType)
Method Detail

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string description of the change event.
Overrides:
toString in class CompoundEdit
Returns:
a string

addEdit

public boolean addEdit(UndoableEdit anEdit)
Adds a document edit. If the number of edits crosses a threshold, this switches on a hashtable lookup for ElementChange implementations since access of these needs to be relatively quick.
Overrides:
addEdit in class CompoundEdit
Parameters:
anEdit - a document edit record
Returns:
true if the edit was added

redo

public void redo()
          throws CannotRedoException
Redoes a change.
Overrides:
redo in class CompoundEdit
Throws:
CannotRedoException - if the change cannot be redone

undo

public void undo()
          throws CannotUndoException
Undoes a change.
Overrides:
undo in class CompoundEdit
Throws:
CannotUndoException - if the change cannot be undone

isSignificant

public boolean isSignificant()
DefaultDocument events are significant. If you wish to aggregate DefaultDocumentEvents to present them as a single edit to the user place them into a CompoundEdit.
Overrides:
isSignificant in class CompoundEdit
Returns:
whether the event is significant for edit undo purposes

getPresentationName

public String getPresentationName()
Provides a localized, human readable description of this edit suitable for use in, say, a change log.
Overrides:
getPresentationName in class CompoundEdit
Returns:
the description

getUndoPresentationName

public String getUndoPresentationName()
Provides a localized, human readable description of the undoable form of this edit, e.g. for use as an Undo menu item. Typically derived from getDescription();
Overrides:
getUndoPresentationName in class CompoundEdit
Returns:
the description

getRedoPresentationName

public String getRedoPresentationName()
Provides a localized, human readable description of the redoable form of this edit, e.g. for use as a Redo menu item. Typically derived from getPresentationName();
Overrides:
getRedoPresentationName in class CompoundEdit
Returns:
the description

getType

public DocumentEvent.EventType getType()
Returns the type of event.
Specified by:
getType in interface DocumentEvent
Returns:
the event type as a DocumentEvent.EventType
