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
ComponentListenerorComponentAdapterobject which registered to receive such events using the component'saddComponentListenermethod. (ComponentAdapterobjects implement theComponentListenerinterface.) Each such listener object gets thisComponentEventwhen the event occurs.An unspecified behavior will be caused if the
idparameter of any particularComponentEventinstance is not in the range fromCOMPONENT_FIRSTtoCOMPONENT_LAST.- Since:
