```
public interface DynamicListening
```
This interface is used by Components that need to register and unregister listeners whenever they are shown or hidden in order to improve performance and garbage collection. ObserverPalette is a good example where listeners are dynamically added and removed. Usually you don't call the interface methods directly but let DynamicAncestorAdapter do the work.
