com.luciad.lucy.gui.TLcyActionBarItemComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<TLcyActionBarItem>

public class TLcyActionBarItemComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<TLcyActionBarItem>

Comparator that allows to sort items within a single TLcyGroupDescriptor. Those items can be ILcdActions or ILcyActiveSettables, but also Components or sub-menus. Some predefined sort methods are to sort alphabetically, or to add the most recently inserted item at the top (useful for say a recent items list). All available predefined sort strategies are defined as constants in this class (e.g. ABC), the syntax is defined in lucy.cfg (above TLcyMain.menuBar.groupPriorities).
