Inside the JBuilder OpenTools API
Chapter 11 - Actions

Previous   Next   Listings

A demonstration of some of the various Action classes available in JBuilder. This example adds an Action Sampler entry (an ActionGroup) to the Tools menu.

  • Browser Title uses a BrowserAction object to bring up a message box showing the browser's title.
  • Metal L&F is a BrowserStateAction object that swaps between the Metal and native look-and-feels. If you change the L&F through the IDE Options or Preferences dialog, this action updates itself to show the new state.
  • Toggle editor background is an EditorAction object that swaps the editor background colour between white and yellow.
