Class Summary Class Description ActionEvent A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occurred.AdjustmentEvent The adjustment event emitted by Adjustable objects likeScrollbarandScrollPane.AWTEventListenerProxy A class which extends theEventListenerProxyspecifically for adding anAWTEventListenerfor a specific event mask.ComponentAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving component events.ComponentEvent A low-level event which indicates that a component moved, changed size, or changed visibility (also, the root class for the other component-level events).ContainerAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving container events.ContainerEvent A low-level event which indicates that a container's contents changed because a component was added or removed.FocusAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving keyboard focus events.FocusEvent A low-level event which indicates that a Component has gained or lost the input focus.HierarchyBoundsAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving ancestor moved and resized events.HierarchyEvent An event which indicates a change to theComponenthierarchy to whichComponentbelongs.InputEvent The root event class for all component-level input events.InputMethodEvent Input method events contain information about text that is being composed using an input method.InvocationEvent An event which executes therun()method on aRunnablewhen dispatched by the AWT event dispatcher thread.ItemEvent A semantic event which indicates that an item was selected or deselected.KeyAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving keyboard events.KeyEvent An event which indicates that a keystroke occurred in a component.MouseAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse events.MouseEvent An event which indicates that a mouse action occurred in a component.MouseMotionAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse motion events.MouseWheelEvent An event which indicates that the mouse wheel was rotated in a component.PaintEvent The component-level paint event.TextEvent A semantic event which indicates that an object's text changed.WindowAdapter An abstract adapter class for receiving window events.WindowEvent A low-level event that indicates that a window has changed its status.
Description
Provides interfaces and classes for dealing with different
types of events fired by AWT components. See the java.awt.AWTEvent
class for details on the AWT event model. Events are fired by event
sources. An event listener registers with an event source to receive
notifications about the events of a particular type. This package
defines events and event listeners, as well as event listener
adapters, which are convenience classes to make easier the process of
writing event listeners.
