- All Implemented Interfaces:

,Cloneable
,EventListener
,Action
An
Action
which controls display of a window.
ActionEvent
s passed to this action may
have the action command set to one of the strings
HIDE
or SHOW
to define what the command means
(in fact anything other than HIDE counts as SHOW).
It has a bound property with key VISIBLE
which indicates
whether the associated window is currently showing or not.
Setting the VISIBLE property true/false has the same effect as
invoking the action with the SHOW/HIDE command string.
This class is currently a bit messy and overspecified for what it does.
