  - - java.awt.event.TextEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class TextEvent extends AWTEvent

A semantic event which indicates that an object's text changed. This high-level event is generated by an object (such as a TextComponent) when its text changes. The event is passed to every TextListener object which registered to receive such events using the component's addTextListener method.
The object that implements the TextListener interface gets this TextEvent when the event occurs. The listener is spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and key strokes Instead, it can process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "text changed".
An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter of any particular TextEvent instance is not in the range from TEXT_FIRST to TEXT_LAST.

Since:

1.1

Constructors
	Constructor and Description
	TextEvent	TextEvent(java.lang.Object source, int id) Constructs a `TextEvent` object. public TextEvent(java.lang.Object source, int id) Constructs a `TextEvent` object. This method throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if `source` is `null`. Parameters: `source` - The (`TextComponent`) object that originated the event `id` - An integer that identifies the event type. For information on allowable values, see the class description for `TextEvent` Throws: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `source` is null See Also: `EventObject.getSource()`, `AWTEvent.getID()`

Methods
	Modifier and Type	Method and Description

	getID	`int` getID() Returns the event type. public int getID() Description copied from class: `AWTEvent` Returns the event type.
	getSource	`java.lang.Object` getSource() The object on which the Event initially occurred. public java.lang.Object getSource() Description copied from class: `java.util.EventObject` The object on which the Event initially occurred. Returns: The object on which the Event initially occurred.
	isConsumed	`protected boolean` isConsumed() Returns whether this event has been consumed. protected boolean isConsumed() Description copied from class: `AWTEvent` Returns whether this event has been consumed.
	paramString	`java.lang.String` paramString() Returns a parameter string identifying this text event. public java.lang.String paramString() Returns a parameter string identifying this text event. This method is useful for event-logging and for debugging. Overrides: `paramString` in class `AWTEvent` Returns: a string identifying the event and its attributes
	setSource	`void` setSource(java.lang.Object newSource) Retargets an event to a new source. public void setSource(java.lang.Object newSource) Description copied from class: `AWTEvent` Retargets an event to a new source.
