Hi Kevin,

If I understand what you want, try this: Define a
subclass of the direct manipulation DataRenderer
that you are using, that includes an implementation
of the method:

  public void release_direct()

In this implementation, trigger a CellImpl that
does your "processB". The release_direct() method
is called when the mouse button is released.

Good luck,
Bill

I have a situation where I want to do some processing related to a
DataReferenceImpl.  Currently I am doing this in the doAction() method
of a CellImpl to which the DataReferenceImpl is related to.  The
processing takes quite a while to do and bogs down the display and the
behavior of the CellImpl.  Therefore, I would like to do the processing
when the CellImpl stops (i.e., when the mouse click is released or
stopped dragging from the CellImpl/DataReferenceImpl.)


Cuurently:

    pt_ref = new DataReferenceImpl("pt_ref");

    CellImpl cell = new CellImpl()
    {
      public void doAction()
      {
         "processA"
         "processB"
      }
    };

but "processB" takes a while to run, so I want to run "processB" once
the mouse has stopped dragging, or the click is released.

I was trying to use the ThingChangedListener and ThingChangedEvent, but
could not figure a way to do so.


I'd appreciate anyone's input on this.

Thanks!!
