Interface IClipboardGUI

All Superinterfaces:

IClipboard

All Known Implementing Classes:

Clipboard

public interface IClipboardGUI

extends IClipboard

Interface to a Clipboard component using Clipboard's built-in GUI.

1. Set accessor so GUI commands are properly invoked by the accessor.
2. Enable external entity to alter visible status of Clipboard GUI.

This interface is to be used by those components that require a Microsoft-Office-like GUI-interface to the clipboard component. If a programmatic interface is all that is required, then the IClipboard interface should be the means by which the clipboard is interacted.
