- source
- Object
The source for events being listened to.
- data
- Object
The data to check. This object is expected to be a WeakEventManager.ListenerList implementation.
- purgeAll
- Boolean
true to stop listening to source, and completely remove all entries from data.
Returns
true if some entries were actually removed; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The Purge method has a default implementation that will remove all entries when data is a WeakEventManager.ListenerList.
Notes to Inheritors
If the underlying type for the Item[Object] is something other than WeakEventManager.ListenerList, or contains data beyond a WeakEventManager.ListenerList, you must override the Purge(Object, Object, Boolean) method. The override should provide purge behavior for the alternate type items list. Generally, the override should provide behavior without calling the base implementation. If a specific WeakEventManager.ListenerList still needs clearing, call Purge().
