public class WindowEvent extends ComponentEvent

A low-level event that indicates that a window has changed its status. This low-level event is generated by a Window object when it is opened, closed, activated, deactivated, iconified, or deiconified, or when focus is transfered into or out of the Window.
The event is passed to every WindowListener or WindowAdapter object which registered to receive such events using the window's addWindowListener method. (WindowAdapter objects implement the WindowListener interface.) Each such listener object gets this WindowEvent when the event occurs.
An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter of any particular WindowEvent instance is not in the range from WINDOW_FIRST to WINDOW_LAST.

Since:

JDK1.1

Constructors
	Constructor and Description
	WindowEvent	WindowEvent(Window source, int id) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object. public WindowEvent(Window source, int id) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object. This method throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if `source` is `null`. Parameters: `source` - The `Window` object that originated the event `id` - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for `WindowEvent`. Throws: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `source` is null See Also: `getWindow()`, `AWTEvent.getID()`
	WindowEvent	WindowEvent(Window source, int id, int oldState, int newState) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object with the specified previous and new window states. public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, int oldState, int newState) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object with the specified previous and new window states. This method throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if `source` is `null`. Parameters: `source` - The `Window` object that originated the event `id` - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for `WindowEvent`. It is expected that this constructor will not be used for other then `WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED` `WindowEvent` types, because the previous and new window states are meaningless for other event types. `oldState` - An integer representing the previous window state. See `#getOldState()` for allowable values `newState` - An integer representing the new window state. See `#getNewState()` for allowable values Throws: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `source` is null Since: 1.4 See Also: `getWindow()`, `AWTEvent.getID()`, `getOldState()`, `getNewState()`
	WindowEvent	WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object with the specified opposite `Window`. public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object with the specified opposite `Window`. The opposite `Window` is the other `Window` involved in this focus or activation change. For a `WINDOW_ACTIVATED` or `WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS` event, this is the `Window` that lost activation or focus. For a `WINDOW_DEACTIVATED` or `WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS` event, this is the `Window` that gained activation or focus. If this focus change occurs with a native application, with a Java application in a different VM, or with no other `Window`, then the opposite Window is `null`. This method throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if `source` is `null`. Parameters: `source` - The `Window` object that originated the event `id` - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for `WindowEvent`. It is expected that this constructor will not be used for other then `WINDOW_ACTIVATED`,`WINDOW_DEACTIVATED`, `WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS`, or `WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS`. `WindowEvent` types, because the opposite `Window` of other event types will always be `null`. `opposite` - The other `Window` involved in the focus or activation change, or `null` Throws: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `source` is null Since: 1.4 See Also: `getWindow()`, `AWTEvent.getID()`, `getOppositeWindow()`
	WindowEvent	WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite, int oldState, int newState) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object. public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite, int oldState, int newState) Constructs a `WindowEvent` object. This method throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if `source` is `null`. Parameters: `source` - The `Window` object that originated the event `id` - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for `WindowEvent` `opposite` - The other window involved in the focus or activation change, or `null` `oldState` - Previous state of the window for window state change event. See `#getOldState()` for allowable values `newState` - New state of the window for window state change event. See `#getNewState()` for allowable values Throws: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `source` is null Since: 1.4 See Also: `getWindow()`, `AWTEvent.getID()`, `getOppositeWindow()`, `getOldState()`, `getNewState()`
