Description

Interface Summary

ActionListener	The listener interface for receiving action events.
AdjustmentListener	The listener interface for receiving adjustment events.
AWTEventListener	The listener interface for receiving notification of events dispatched to objects that are instances of Component or MenuComponent or their subclasses.
ComponentListener	The listener interface for receiving component events.
ContainerListener	The listener interface for receiving container events.
FocusListener	The listener interface for receiving keyboard focus events on a component.
ItemListener	The listener interface for receiving item events.
KeyListener	The listener interface for receiving keyboard events (keystrokes).
MouseListener	The listener interface for receiving "interesting" mouse events (press, release, click, enter, and exit) on a component.
MouseMotionListener	The listener interface for receiving mouse motion events on a component.
TextListener	The listener interface for receiving text events.
WindowListener	The listener interface for receiving window events.

Class Summary

ActionEvent	A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occured.
AdjustmentEvent	The adjustment event emitted by Adjustable objects.
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 keyboard focus.
InputEvent	The root event class for all component-level input events.
InvocationEvent	An event which executes the run() method on a Runnable when 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.
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 which indicates that a window has changed its status.

Package java.awt.event 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.
