@FunctionalInterface public interface KeyEventPostProcessor
Note that the KeyboardFocusManager itself implements KeyEventPostProcessor. By default, the current KeyboardFocusManager will be the final KeyEventPostProcessor in the chain. The current KeyboardFocusManager cannot be completely deregistered as a KeyEventPostProcessor. However, if a KeyEventPostProcessor reports that no further post-processing of the KeyEvent should take place, the AWT will consider the event fully handled and will take no additional action with regard to the event. (While it is possible for client code to register the current KeyboardFocusManager as a KeyEventPostProcessor one or more times, this is usually unnecessary and not recommended.)
Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
boolean |
postProcessKeyEvent |
This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager, requesting that this KeyEventPostProcessor perform any necessary post-processing which should be part of the KeyEvent's final resolution. |
boolean postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
redispatchEvent
to prevent the AWT from recursively requesting that this KeyEventPostProcessor perform post-processing of the event again. If an implementation of this method returns false
, then the KeyEvent is passed to the next KeyEventPostProcessor in the chain, ending with the current KeyboardFocusManager. If an implementation returns true
, the KeyEvent is assumed to have been fully handled (although this need not be the case), and the AWT will take no further action with regard to the KeyEvent. If an implementation consumes the KeyEvent but returns false
, the consumed event will still be passed to the next KeyEventPostProcessor in the chain. It is important for developers to check whether the KeyEvent has been consumed before performing any post-processing of the KeyEvent. By default, the current KeyboardFocusManager will perform no post- processing in response to a consumed KeyEvent.
e
- the KeyEvent to post-processtrue
if the AWT should take no further action with regard to the KeyEvent; false
otherwise
