Method Detail

postEvent

Parameters:

theEvent - an instance of java.awt.AWTEvent, or a subclass of it.

getNextEvent

public AWTEvent getNextEvent()
                      throws InterruptedException

Remove an event from the EventQueue and return it. This method will block until an event has been posted by another thread.

Returns:

the next AWTEvent

Throws:

InterruptedException - if another thread has interrupted this thread.

Returns:

the first event

peekEvent

public AWTEvent peekEvent(int id)

Returns:

the first event of the specified id

dispatchEvent

protected void dispatchEvent(AWTEvent event)

Dispatch an event. The manner in which the event is dispatched depends upon the type of the event and the type of the event's source object:

Event Type	Source Type	Dispatched To
ActiveEvent	Any	event.dispatch()
Other	Component	source.dispatchEvent(AWTEvent)
Other	MenuComponent	source.dispatchEvent(AWTEvent)
Other	Other	No action (ignored)

Parameters:

theEvent - an instance of java.awt.AWTEvent, or a subclass of it.

isDispatchThread

public static boolean isDispatchThread()

Returns true if the calling thread is the current AWT EventQueue's dispatch thread. Use this call the ensure that a given task is being executed (or not being) on the current AWT EventDispatchThread.
