This class represents a panel of VCR-style buttons, including First, Previous, Next, and Last buttons. These buttons represent a bounded range of items that may be traversed.

The component maintains the current position within the list being traversed. This position may be retrieved at any time via a call to the getPosition() method. Additionally, an ActionEvent is generated each time one of the four buttons is pressed; one of the command strings "first", "prev", "next", or "last" is passed as the argument of the ActionEvent to specify which button was pressed.

The First and Previous buttons are dimmed when the component is at the "beginning" of the range, and the Next and Last buttons are dimmed when the component is at the "end" of the range.

An example ArrowButtonView.
