Class TLcdMouseOverGroup

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.gui.swing.navigationcontrols.TLcdMouseOverGroup
public class TLcdMouseOverGroup extends Object
This class is responsible for enabling/disabling all components added to this group when either of them receives a MouseEntered/MouseExited event. It is used to make sure all subpanels of the navigation controls light up as one if the mouse moves over one of them. As a concept it is very similar to a ButtonGroup. As an extra feature you can configure this class to keep components always enabled. This can be dynamically chosen at runtime.
