Interface WindowFocusListener

- All Superinterfaces:
- EventListener
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- AWTEventMulticaster, BasicToolBarUI.FrameListener, JMenu.WinListener, WindowAdapter
public interface WindowFocusListener extends EventListener
The listener interface for receivingWindowEvents
, includingWINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS
andWINDOW_LOST_FOCUS
events. The class that is interested in processing aWindowEvent
either implements this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstractWindowAdapter
class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered with aWindow
using theWindow
'saddWindowFocusListener
method. When theWindow
's status changes by virtue of it being opened, closed, activated, deactivated, iconified, or deiconified, or by focus being transfered into or out of theWindow
, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and theWindowEvent
is passed to it.- Since:
