Method Detail

die

public void die()
Sets alive to false. Note that this is a one way operation: dead edits cannot be resurrected. Sending undo() or redo() to a dead edit results in an exception being thrown. Typically an edit is killed when it is consolidated by another edit's addEdit() or replaceEdit() method, or when it is dequeued from an UndoManager
Specified by:
die in interface UndoableEdit

CompoundEdit.die()

undo

public void undo()
          throws CannotUndoException
Throws CannotUndoException if canUndo() returns false. Sets hasBeenDone to false. Subclasses should override to undo the operation represented by this edit. Override should begin with a call to super.
Specified by:
undo in interface UndoableEdit

canUndo()

canUndo

public boolean canUndo()
Returns true if this edit is alive and hasBeenDone is true.
Specified by:
canUndo in interface UndoableEdit

die(), undo(), redo()

redo

public void redo()
          throws CannotRedoException
Throws CannotRedoException if canRedo() returns false. Sets hasBeenDone to true. Subclasses should override to redo the operation represented by this edit. Override should begin with a call to super.
Specified by:
redo in interface UndoableEdit

canRedo()

canRedo

public boolean canRedo()
Returns true if this edit is alive and hasBeenDone is false.
Specified by:
canRedo in interface UndoableEdit
See Also:
die(), undo(), redo()

addEdit

public boolean addEdit(UndoableEdit anEdit)
This default implementation returns false.
Specified by:
addEdit in interface UndoableEdit

replaceEdit

public boolean replaceEdit(UndoableEdit anEdit)
This default implementation returns false.

isSignificant

public boolean isSignificant()
This default implementation returns true.
Specified by:
isSignificant in interface UndoableEdit
See Also:
UndoableEdit.isSignificant()

getPresentationName

public String getPresentationName()
This default implementation returns "". Used by getUndoPresentationName() and getRedoPresentationName() to construct the strings they return. Subclasses shoul override to return an appropriate description of the operation this edit represents.
Specified by:
getPresentationName in interface UndoableEdit
See Also:
getUndoPresentationName(), getRedoPresentationName()

getUndoPresentationName

public String getUndoPresentationName()
If getPresentationName() returns "", returns AbstractUndoableEdit.UndoName. Otherwise returns AbstractUndoableEdit.UndoName followed by a space and getPresentationName()
Specified by:
getUndoPresentationName in interface UndoableEdit

getRedoPresentationName

public String getRedoPresentationName()
If getPresentationName() returns "", returns AbstractUndoableEdit.RedoName. Otherwise returns AbstractUndoableEdit.RedoName followed by a space and getPresentationName()
