Exchanging events between components and applications

Posted by Richard Jones on December 12, 2000 at 8:29 PM

Hi

I am looking for the simplest way to get a button click out of a custom component and into an application. The component is a database type interface with text displays for the records and buttons to navigate, add etc. I wanted to put this interface in a seperate class and then access it in the Application. Probably I should make it a bean but that looks way too complicated for such a simple task. I have looked for documentation on the AWTEventMulticaster but it rates only a brief mention in Flanagan's "Nutshell" book. Anyone know of a similar example I can use? Am I overlooking a simple solution or is there no such thing here?

Richard
