    • Field Detail

      • consumed

        protected boolean consumed
        Controls whether or not the event is sent back down to the peer once the source has processed it - false means it's sent to the peer; true means it's not. Semantic events always have a 'true' value since they were generated by the peer in response to a low-level event.

      • setSource

        public void setSource​(Object newSource)

        Parameters:
        newSource - the new Object to which the event should be dispatched
