playControls.applySelection(item, selected)

Apply the indicate selection state to the item.

The default implementation of this method does nothing. User-visible effects will typically be handled by other mixins.

Kind: instance method of PlayControls. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | item | HTMLElement | the item being selected/deselected | | selected | boolean | true if the item is selected, false if not |

playControls.canSelectNext : boolean

True if the selection can be moved to the next item, false if not (the selected item is the last item in the list).

Kind: instance property of PlayControls. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

playControls.canSelectPrevious : boolean

True if the selection can be moved to the previous item, false if not (the selected item is the first one in the list).

Kind: instance property of PlayControls. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

playControls.content : Array.<HTMLElement>

The content of this component, defined to be the flattened array of children distributed to the component.

Kind: instance property of PlayControls. Defined by DistributedChildrenAsContent mixin.

This event is raised when the component's contents (including distributed children) have changed.

Kind: event emitted by PlayControls. Defined by ObserveContentChanges mixin.

playControls.contentChanged()

Invoked when the contents of the component (including distributed children) have changed.

This method is also invoked when a component is first instantiated; the contents have essentially "changed" from being nothing. This allows the component to perform initial processing of its children.

Kind: instance method of PlayControls. Defined by ObserveContentChanges mixin.

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | item | HTMLElement | the item being added |

playControls.items : Array.<HTMLElement>

The current set of items in the list.

Kind: instance property of PlayControls. Defined by TargetSelection mixin.

playControls.itemsChanged()

This method is invoked when the underlying contents change. It is also invoked on component initialization – since the items have "changed" from being nothing.

Kind: instance method of PlayControls. Defined by TargetSelection mixin.

playControls.keydown(event) ⇒ boolean

Handle the indicated keyboard event.

The default implementation of this method does nothing. This will typically be handled by other mixins.

Kind: instance method of PlayControls. Defined by Keyboard mixin. Returns: boolean - true if the event was handled
