public class WindowEvent extends ComponentEvent
A low-level event that indicates that a window has changed its status. This low-level event is generated by a Window object when it is opened, closed, activated, deactivated, iconified, or deiconified, or when focus is transfered into or out of the Window.The event is passed to every
WindowListener
orWindowAdapter
object which registered to receive such events using the window'saddWindowListener
method. (WindowAdapter
objects implement theWindowListener
interface.) Each such listener object gets thisWindowEvent
when the event occurs.An unspecified behavior will be caused if the
id
parameter of any particularWindowEvent
instance is not in the range fromWINDOW_FIRST
toWINDOW_LAST

Field Detail
WINDOW_FIRST
public static final int WINDOW_FIRST
The first number in the range of ids used for window events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_OPENED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_OPENED
The window opened event. This event is delivered only the first time a window is made visible.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_CLOSING
@Native public static final int WINDOW_CLOSING
The "window is closing" event. This event is delivered when the user attempts to close the window from the window's system menu. If the program does not explicitly hide or dispose the window while processing this event, the window close operation will be cancelled.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_CLOSED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_CLOSED
The window closed event. This event is delivered after the displayable window has been closed as the result of a call to dispose.
WINDOW_ICONIFIED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_ICONIFIED
The window iconified event. This event is delivered when the window has been changed from a normal to a minimized state. For many platforms, a minimized window is displayed as the icon specified in the window's iconImage property.
WINDOW_DEICONIFIED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_DEICONIFIED
The window deiconified event type. This event is delivered when the window has been changed from a minimized to a normal state.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_ACTIVATED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_ACTIVATED
The window-activated event type. This event is delivered when the Window becomes the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_DEACTIVATED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_DEACTIVATED
The window-deactivated event type. This event is delivered when the Window is no longer the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS
@Native public static final int WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS
The window-gained-focus event type. This event is delivered when the Window becomes the focused Window, which means that the Window, or one of its subcomponents, will receive keyboard events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS
@Native public static final int WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS
The window-lost-focus event type. This event is delivered when a Window is no longer the focused Window, which means keyboard events will no longer be delivered to the Window or any of its subcomponents.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED
@Native public static final int WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED
The window-state-changed event type. This event is delivered when a Window's state is changed by virtue of it being iconified, maximized etc.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
WINDOW_LAST
public static final int WINDOW_LAST
The last number in the range of ids used for window events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
-

WindowEvent
public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite)
Constructs aWindowEvent
object with the specified oppositeWindow
. The oppositeWindow
is the otherWindow
involved in this focus or activation change. For aWINDOW_ACTIVATED
orWINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS
event, this is theWindow
that lost activation or focus. For aWINDOW_DEACTIVATED
orWINDOW_LOST_FOCUS
event, this is theWindow
that gained activation or focus. If this focus change occurs with a native application, with a Java application in a different VM, or with no otherWindow
, then the opposite Window isnull
.This method throws an
IllegalArgumentException
ifsource
isnull
.- Parameters:
-
source
- TheWindow
object that originated the event -
id
- An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description forWindowEvent
. It is expected that this constructor will not be used for other thenWINDOW_ACTIVATED
,WINDOW_DEACTIVATED
,WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS
, orWINDOW_LOST_FOCUS
.WindowEvent
types, because the oppositeWindow
of other event types will always benull
