Method Detail

getSoftware

java.util.List<Software> getSoftware()

Returns the list of Software objects installed in this computer.

Returns:

the list of Software objects installed in this computer

See Also:

Software

getCurrentReaders

java.util.List<MOB> getCurrentReaders()

Returns the list of mobs currently monitoring the output of this computers software.

Returns:

the list of mobs currently monitoring the output

forceReadersMenu

void forceReadersMenu()

Forces all the current readers to "read" the computer, typically seeing the menu.

See Also:

getCurrentReaders(), forceReadersSeeNew()

forceReadersSeeNew

void forceReadersSeeNew()

Forces all the current readers to see any new messages that should be seen by anyone monitoring the computer.

See Also:

getCurrentReaders(), forceReadersMenu()

setActiveMenu

void setActiveMenu(java.lang.String internalName)

Most software supports different levels of menu, and some software is even a sub-menu unto itself. This method forces the system to recognize one of those menus as current. The software takes it from there.

Parameters:

internalName - the menu to set as current and active

See Also:

getActiveMenu()

getActiveMenu

java.lang.String getActiveMenu()

Most software supports different levels of menu, and some software is even a sub-menu unto itself. This method returns the current active menu.

Returns:

internalName the menu to set as current and active

See Also:

setActiveMenu(String)
