Interface AppDc

All Superinterfaces:

AppEventSupport, Dc, Disposable, SimpleLifeCycle

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAppDc

public interface AppDc
extends Dc, SimpleLifeCycle, AppEventSupport, Disposable

A AppDc enhances the basic Dc interface with support for AppEvent's and serves as a dialog coordinator for any number of DialogDc objects.
There is one AppDc/AppPc pair per top-level application window. If a AppDc is passivated, it usally hides its window(s). If an AppDc is disposed, all windows are usally disposed, too.
