Validates and updates the properties and layout of this object
by immediately calling validateProperties()
,
validateSize()
, and validateDisplayList()
,
if necessary.
When properties are changed, the new values do not usually have
an immediate effect on the component.
Usually, all of the application code that needs to be run
at that time is executed. Then the LayoutManager starts
calling the validateProperties()
,
validateSize()
, and validateDisplayList()
methods on components, based on their need to be validated and their
depth in the hierarchy of display list objects.
For example, setting the width
property is delayed, because
it may require recalculating the widths of the object's children
or its parent.
Delaying the processing also prevents it from being repeated
multiple times if the application code sets the width
property
more than once.
This method lets you manually override this behavior.
