Class Summary
ActionEvent	A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occured.
AdjustmentEvent	The adjustment event emitted by Adjustable objects.
AWTEventListenerProxy	A class which extends the EventListenerProxy, specifically for adding an AWTEventListener for 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 the Component hierarchy to which a Component belongs.
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 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.
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.

 

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.
