public class EOObserverProxy

extends EODelayedObserver

The EOObserverProxy class is a part of EOControl's change tracking mechanism. It provides a means for objects that can't inherit from EODelayedObserver to handle subjectChanged messages.

An EOObserverProxy has a target object on whose behalf it observes objects. EOObserverProxy overrides subjectChanged to send an action message to its target object, allowing the target to act as though it had received subjectChanged directly from an EODelayedObserverQueue.
