Process Diagram
Description
ActiveFileDialog is a process extension of java.awt.FileDialog with channels for run-time configuration and event notification. The event channels should be connected to one or more application-specific server processes (instead of registering a passive object as a Listener to this component).All channels are optional. The configure and event channels are settable from a constructor. The event channel delivers directory and file names (see next paragraph). Other event channels can be added to notify the occurrence of any other events the component generates (by calling the appropriate addXXXEventChannel method before the process is run). Messages can be sent down the configure channel at any time to configure the component. See the table below for details.
The ActiveFileDialog is made visible by sending a Boolean.TRUE down its configure channel. A modal dialogue takes place to select a file and the selected directory and file names are output down its event channel.
All channels are managed by independent internal handler processes. It is, therefore, safe for a serial application process both to service an event channel and configure the component – no deadlock can occur.
IMPORTANT: it is essential that event channels from this process are always serviced – otherwise the Java Event Thread will be blocked and the GUI will stop responding. A simple way to guarantee this is to use channels configured with overwriting buffers. For example:
final One2OneChannel myFileDialogConfigure = Channel.one2one (); final One2OneChannel myFileDialogEvent = Channel.one2one (new OverWriteOldestBuffer (n)); final ActiveFileDialog myFileDialog = new ActiveFileDialog (myFileDialogConfigure.in (), myFileDialogEvent.out ());This will ensure that the Java Event Thread will never be blocked. Slow or inattentive readers may miss rapidly generated events, but the n most recent events will always be available.
Channel Protocols

configure | String | The start directory for the fileDialog |
Boolean |

|
ActiveFileDialog.Configure | Invoke the user-defined Configure.configure method on the activeFileDialog. | |
Output Channels | ||
event | String, String | The directory and file names generated by the fileDialog – these may be null |
windowEvent | WindowEvent | See the addWindowEventChannel method. |
containerEvent | ContainerEvent | See the addContainerEventChannel method. |
componentEvent | ComponentEvent | See the addComponentEventChannel method. |
focusEvent | FocusEvent | See the addFocusEventChannel method. |
