public class MetaCommlet
extends WindowCommlet
This is a WindowCommlet that has a list of commlets. These commlets are all started and added to the menu bar. All messages are send to all commlets in the list. This should be subclassed, so that the commlets can be explicitly added in the init() method after super.init() has been called. Refer to MultiComm for an example.

Method Index

o addCommlet(Commlet, String)
To add a Commlet to your MetaCommlet subclass, call this in your init() method after instantiating the Commlet.

o init()
o setStateOfMenuItemBelongingTo(Commlet, boolean)
