Method Detail

getSelectedCommands

Command[] getSelectedCommands()

Gets the currently selected command/s. If these values change, the composite command should fire a property change event. If maxSelectedCommands = 0, this should return an empty array.

getMaxSelectedCommands

int getMaxSelectedCommands()

Get the maximum number of commands that may be selected at any one time. eg this may affect the way the menu items are rendered for the command: if max selected values is 0, the normal JMenuItems are used for each value, if 1, then JRadioButtonMenuItems are used and if > 1 then JCheckBoxMenuItems are used.

getCommands

Command[] getCommands()

Returns the complete list of defined 'selectable' commands.
