  - ChainedPreferenceStore
```
public ChainedPreferenceStore(IPreferenceStore[] preferenceStores)
```
    Sets the chained preference stores.
    
    Parameters:
    
    preferenceStores - the chained preference stores to set
- Method Detail
  - addPropertyChangeListener
```
public void addPropertyChangeListener(IPropertyChangeListener listener)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Adds a property change listener to this preference store.
    
    Note The types of the oldValue and newValue of the generated PropertyChangeEvent are determined by whether or not the typed API in IPreferenceStore was called. If values are changed via setValue(name,type) the values in the PropertyChangedEvent will be of that type. If they are set using a non typed API (i.e. #setToDefault or using the OSGI Preferences) the values will be unconverted Strings.
    
    A listener will be called in the same Thread that it is invoked in. Any Thread dependant listeners (such as those who update an SWT widget) will need to update in the correct Thread. In the case of an SWT update you can update using Display#syncExec(Runnable) or Display#asyncExec(Runnable).
    
    Likewise any application that updates an IPreferenceStore from a Thread other than the UI Thread should be aware of any listeners that require an update in the UI Thread.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addPropertyChangeListener in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - a property change listener
    
    See Also:
    
    PropertyChangeEvent, IPreferenceStore.setToDefault(String), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, boolean), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, double), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, float), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, int), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, long), IPreferenceStore.setValue(String, String)
  - removePropertyChangeListener
```
public void removePropertyChangeListener(IPropertyChangeListener listener)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Removes the given listener from this preference store. Has no effect if the listener is not registered.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removePropertyChangeListener in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - a property change listener, must not be null
  - contains
```

    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Returns whether the named preference is known to this preference store.
    
    Specified by:
    
    contains in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the preference

```
    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Fires a property change event corresponding to a change to the current value of the preference with the given name.
    This method is provided on this interface to simplify the implementation of decorators. There is normally no need to call this method since setValue and setToDefault report such events in due course. Implementations should funnel all preference changes through this method.

    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Sets the current value of the preference with the given name to the given string value without sending a property change.
    This method does not fire a property change event and should only be used for setting internal preferences that are not meant to be processed by listeners. Normal clients should instead call #setValue.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putValue in interface IPreferenceStore

    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Sets the default value for the double-valued preference with the given name.
    Note that the current value of the preference is affected if the preference's current value was its old default value, in which case it changes to the new default value. If the preference's current is different from its old default value, its current value is unaffected. No property change events are reported by changing default values.

    Specified by:
    
    setDefault in interface IPreferenceStore

    Note that the current value of the preference is affected if the preference's current value was its old default value, in which case it changes to the new default value. If the preference's current is different from its old default value, its current value is unaffected. No property change events are reported by changing default values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDefault in interface IPreferenceStore

    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Sets the default value for the string-valued preference with the given name.
    Note that the current value of the preference is affected if the preference's current value was its old default value, in which case it changes to the new default value. If the preference's current is different from its old default value, its current value is unaffected. No property change events are reported by changing default values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDefault in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the preference

```
    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Sets the default value for the boolean-valued preference with the given name.
    Note that the current value of the preference is affected if the preference's current value was its old default value, in which case it changes to the new default value. If the preference's current is different from its old default value, its current value is unaffected. No property change events are reported by changing default values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDefault in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:

```
public void setToDefault(String name)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPreferenceStore
    
    Sets the current value of the preference with the given name back to its default value.
    Note that the preferred way of re-initializing a preference to the appropriate default value is to call setToDefault. This is implemented by removing the named value from the store, thereby exposing the default value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setToDefault in interface IPreferenceStore
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the preference

    Sets the current value of the double-valued preference with the given name.
    A property change event is reported if the current value of the preference actually changes from its previous value. In the event object, the property name is the name of the preference, and the old and new values are wrapped as objects.
    
    Note that the preferred way of re-initializing a preference to its default value is to call setToDefault.
