Stopping Action Listener Queue












3















I Have this:



public void actionPerformed1(ActionEvent e) { ... }

public void actionPerformed2(ActionEvent e) { ... }

public void actionPerformed3(ActionEvent e) { ... }



JButton b = new JButton();



b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed1);

b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed2);

b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed3);



The code always executes action 3, then 2 and 1 in that order.




Is it possible to stop the execution of the queue without throwing a run time exception?



Thanks for your time.

    Sure, just add a flag whether further listeners should be executed and check it in the listener methods.

I think you cannot stop it without using an Exception. If you look at the code in JButton which gets executed when its firing an ActionEvent (s.b.), you see that its just iterating in a for loop over a copy of the array of registered ActionListeners.
So you can try within the callback methods to unregister all Actionlisteners but this does not help since the loop uses a local copy. And you cannot increment the variable i from the callback neither. 



protected void fireActionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

 {

     // Dispatch a copy of the given ActionEvent in order to

     // set the source and action command correctly.

     ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(

         this,

         e.getID(),

         getActionCommand(),

         e.getWhen(),

         e.getModifiers());



     ActionListener listeners = getActionListeners();



     for (int i = 0; i < listeners.length; i++) //no way to prematurely terminate this loop 

       listeners[i].actionPerformed(ae);

 }


However you can use a common variable in your class to signal in your callback methods, that they should just return, but this would not avoid their execution, but rather execute code which just decides to prematurely return.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
