java.lang.Objectcom.darwinsys.swingui.ButtonExclusionGroup
public class ButtonExclusionGroup
This class is used to create a single-enablement scope for a set of buttons. It is "Exclusion" in the sense that creating a set of buttons with the same ButtonExclusionGroup object means that sending setEnabled(true) to one of the buttons will send setEnabled(false) to all other buttons in the group.
A ButtonExclusionGroup can be used with objects that inherit from AbstractButton. Typically a button group contains instances of JButton or JMenuItem, but other types could be used. Similar to a Swing "ButtonGroup" but for Enabledness rather than for Selection; only one of the buttons can be enabled at a time. Example:
JButton goButton = new JButton("Start");
JButton stopButton = new JButton("Cancel");
ButtonExclusionGroup group - new ButtonExclusionGroup();
group.add(goButton);
group.add(stopButton);
Because "two buttons" is the most common form of exclusion, as shown
in this example, there is a convenience Constructor; the last three lines
could be replaced with
ButtonExclusionGroup group - new ButtonExclusionGroup(goButton, stopButton);
