java.awt.event
Class ComponentEvent

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.util.EventObject
      extended by java.awt.AWTEvent
          extended by java.awt.event.ComponentEvent
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:

public class ComponentEvent
extends AWTEvent

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).

Component events are provided for notification purposes ONLY; The AWT will automatically handle component moves and resizes internally so that GUI layout works properly regardless of whether a program is receiving these events or not.

In addition to serving as the base class for other component-related events (InputEvent, FocusEvent, WindowEvent, ContainerEvent), this class defines the events that indicate changes in a component's size, position, or visibility.

This low-level event is generated by a component object (such as a List) when the component is moved, resized, rendered invisible, or made visible again. The event is passed to every ComponentListener or ComponentAdapter object which registered to receive such events using the component's addComponentListener method. (ComponentAdapter objects implement the ComponentListener interface.) Each such listener object gets this ComponentEvent when the event occurs.

Since:
1.1

Constructor Detail

ComponentEvent

public ComponentEvent(Component source,
                      int id)
Constructs a ComponentEvent object.

Note that passing in an invalid id results in unspecified behavior. This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Parameters:
source - the Component that originated the event
id - an integer indicating the type of event
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
Method Detail

getComponent

public Component getComponent()
Returns the originator of the event.

Returns:
the Component object that originated the event, or null if the object is not a Component.

paramString

public String paramString()
Returns a parameter string identifying this event. This method is useful for event-logging and for debugging.

Overrides:
paramString in class AWTEvent
Returns:
a string identifying the event and its attributes
