All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class PaintEvent
extends ComponentEvent

The component-level paint event. This event is a special type which is used to ensure that paint/update method calls are serialized along with the other events delivered from the event queue. This event is not designed to be used with the Event Listener model; programs should continue to override paint/update methods in order render themselves properly.

Since:

1.1

public PaintEvent(Component source,
                  int id,
                  Rectangle updateRect)

Parameters:

source - the object where the event originated

id - the event type

updateRect - the rectangle area which needs to be repainted

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if source is null

getUpdateRect

public Rectangle getUpdateRect()

Returns the rectangle representing the area which needs to be repainted in response to this event.

setUpdateRect

public void setUpdateRect(Rectangle updateRect)

Sets the rectangle representing the area which needs to be repainted in response to this event.

Parameters:

updateRect - the rectangle area which needs to be repainted

paramString

public String paramString()

Description copied from class: ComponentEvent

Returns a parameter string identifying this event. This method is useful for event-logging and for debugging.

Overrides:

paramString in class ComponentEvent

Returns:

a string identifying the event and its attributes
