invertSelection

public void invertSelection()

Inverts the current selection.

dispose

public void dispose()

Releases the resources consumed by this EventListViewer so that it may eventually be garbage collected.

An EventListViewer will be garbage collected without a call to dispose(), but not before its source EventList is garbage collected. By calling dispose(), you allow the EventListViewer to be garbage collected before its source EventList. This is necessary for situations where an EventListViewer is short-lived but its source EventList is long-lived.

Warning: It is an error to call any method on a EventListViewer after it has been disposed.
