  +--net.sourceforge.wohenchan.TimedModifyListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.EventListener, org.eclipse.swt.events.ModifyListener, org.eclipse.swt.internal.SWTEventListener

public class TimedModifyListener

extends java.lang.Object

implements org.eclipse.swt.events.ModifyListener

This class is a ModifyListener which aggregates calls to modifyText() and calls an ActionListener if enough time elapses without receiving any modifyText() calls. This is useful because it allows you to trigger an action off of someone typing into a field, without having the action happen every keystroke, and without forcing the user to press return or a button.
