Constructor Detail

ElementCommand

public ElementCommand()
Method Detail

execute

public abstract void execute()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Executes the record. Derived classes do the desired operation. All semantic and other checks must have already been done; the record operation must succeed.

Specified by:
execute in interface IElementCommand

undo

public abstract void undo()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Undoes the record. Leaves the state of the IR identical to what it was before execute was called. Note that the operation must be designed so that it succeeds if the IR is in the correct state: the same state it was in after execute( ) was called. (If the IR is in any other state, then a programming error has occurred.)

Specified by:
undo in interface IElementCommand

redo

public abstract void redo()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Redoes the record. Logically repeats the execute record. The state of the IR must be identical to that after undo( ) has executed. After the call, the state of the IR must be identical to that after execute( ) was called.

Specified by:
redo in interface IElementCommand

canUndo

public boolean canUndo()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Tells if this record can be undone. All records should be undoable in the production system. A record may temporarily not support undo during a development cycle.

Specified by:
canUndo in interface IElementCommand
Returns:
true if the record can be undone, false otherwise

canRedo

public boolean canRedo()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Tells if this record can be redone. All records should be redoable in the production system. A record may temporarily not support redo during a development cycle.

Specified by:
canRedo in interface IElementCommand
Returns:
true if redoable, false otherwise.

getLabel

public java.lang.String getLabel()
Description copied from interface: IElementCommand
Gets the label of this record. This label should be localized. The label is optional.

Specified by:
getLabel in interface IElementCommand
Returns:
the label of this record
