public interface FocusListener extends EventListener
The listener interface for receiving keyboard focus events on a component. The class that is interested in processing a focus event either implements this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstractFocusAdapter
class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered with a component using the component'saddFocusListener
method. When the component gains or loses the keyboard focus, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and theFocusEvent
is passed to it.- Since:
