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.| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ActionEvent | A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occurred. |
| ActionListener | The listener interface for receiving action events. |
| AdjustmentEvent | The adjustment event emitted by Adjustable objects like Scrollbar and ScrollPane. |
| AdjustmentListener | The listener interface for receiving adjustment events. |
| AWTEventListener | The listener interface for receiving notification of events dispatched to objects that are instances of Component or MenuComponent or their subclasses. |
| 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). |
| ComponentListener | The listener interface for receiving component 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. |
| ContainerListener | The listener interface for receiving container events. |
| 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. |
| FocusEvent.Cause | This enum represents the cause of a FocusEvent- the reason why it occurred. |
| FocusListener | The listener interface for receiving keyboard focus events on a component. |
| HierarchyBoundsAdapter | An abstract adapter class for receiving ancestor moved and resized events. |
| HierarchyBoundsListener | The listener interface for receiving ancestor moved and resized events. |
| HierarchyEvent | An event which indicates a change to the Component hierarchy to which Component belongs. |
| HierarchyListener | The listener interface for receiving hierarchy changed events. |
| 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. |
| InputMethodListener | The listener interface for receiving input method events. |
| 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. |
| ItemListener | The listener interface for receiving item events. |
| KeyAdapter | An abstract adapter class for receiving keyboard events. |
| KeyEvent | An event which indicates that a keystroke occurred in a component. |
| KeyListener | The listener interface for receiving keyboard events (keystrokes). |
| MouseAdapter | An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse events. |
| MouseEvent | An event which indicates that a mouse action occurred in a component. |
| MouseListener | The listener interface for receiving "interesting" mouse events (press, release, click, enter, and exit) on a component. |
| MouseMotionAdapter | An abstract adapter class for receiving mouse motion events. |
| MouseMotionListener | The listener interface for receiving mouse motion events on a component. |
| MouseWheelEvent | An event which indicates that the mouse wheel was rotated in a component. |
| MouseWheelListener | The listener interface for receiving mouse wheel events on a component. |
| PaintEvent | The component-level paint event. |
| TextEvent | A semantic event which indicates that an object's text changed. |
| TextListener | The listener interface for receiving text events. |
| WindowAdapter | An abstract adapter class for receiving window events. |
| WindowEvent | A low-level event that indicates that a window has changed its status. |
| WindowFocusListener | The listener interface for receiving WindowEvents, including WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS and WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS events. |
| WindowListener | The listener interface for receiving window events. |
| WindowStateListener | The listener interface for receiving window state events. |
