All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
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 transferred into or out of the Window.

The event is passed to every WindowListener or WindowAdapter object which registered to receive such events using the window's addWindowListener method. (WindowAdapter objects implement the WindowListener interface.) Each such listener object gets this WindowEvent when the event occurs.

An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter of any particular WindowEvent instance is not in the range from WINDOW_FIRST to WINDOW_LAST.

Since:
1.1

  • Constant Field Values

WINDOW_CLOSING

@Native public static final int WINDOW_CLOSING

Constructor Details

WindowEvent

public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite, int oldState, int newState)
Constructs a WindowEvent object.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Parameters:
source - The Window object that originated the event
id - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for WindowEvent
opposite - The other window involved in the focus or activation change, or null
oldState - Previous state of the window for window state change event. See #getOldState() for allowable values
newState - New state of the window for window state change event. See #getNewState() for allowable values
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
Since:
1.4
See Also:
  • getWindow()
  • AWTEvent.getID()
  • getOppositeWindow()
  • getOldState()
  • getNewState()

WindowEvent

public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite)
Constructs a WindowEvent object with the specified opposite Window. The opposite Window is the other Window involved in this focus or activation change. For a WINDOW_ACTIVATED or WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS event, this is the Window that lost activation or focus. For a WINDOW_DEACTIVATED or WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS event, this is the Window 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 other Window, then the opposite Window is null.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Parameters:
source - The Window object that originated the event
id - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for WindowEvent. It is expected that this constructor will not be used for other then WINDOW_ACTIVATED,WINDOW_DEACTIVATED, WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS, or WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS. WindowEvent types, because the opposite Window of other event types will always be null.
opposite - The other Window involved in the focus or activation change, or null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
Since:
1.4
See Also:
  • getWindow()
  • AWTEvent.getID()
  • getOppositeWindow()

WindowEvent

public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, int oldState, int newState)
Constructs a WindowEvent object with the specified previous and new window states.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Parameters:
source - The Window object that originated the event
id - An integer indicating the type of event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for WindowEvent. It is expected that this constructor will not be used for other then WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED WindowEvent types, because the previous and new window states are meaningless for other event types.
oldState - An integer representing the previous window state. See #getOldState() for allowable values
newState - An integer representing the new window state. See #getNewState() for allowable values
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
Since:
1.4
See Also:
  • getWindow()
  • AWTEvent.getID()
  • getOldState()
  • getNewState()

WindowEvent

public WindowEvent(Window source, int id)
Constructs a WindowEvent object.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Parameters:

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
See Also:
  • getWindow()
  • AWTEvent.getID()

Method Details

getWindow

public Window getWindow()

Returns the other Window involved in this focus or activation change. For a WINDOW_ACTIVATED or WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS event, this is the Window that lost activation or focus. For a WINDOW_DEACTIVATED or WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS event, this is the Window that gained activation or focus. For any other type of WindowEvent, or if the focus or activation change occurs with a native application, with a Java application in a different VM, or with no other Window, null is returned.
Returns:
the other Window involved in the focus or activation change, or null
Since:
1.4

getOldState

public int getOldState()
For WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED events returns the previous state of the window. The state is represented as a bitwise mask.
  • NORMAL
    Indicates that no state bits are set.
  • ICONIFIED
  • MAXIMIZED_HORIZ
  • MAXIMIZED_VERT
  • MAXIMIZED_BOTH
    Concatenates MAXIMIZED_HORIZ and MAXIMIZED_VERT.
Returns:
a bitwise mask of the previous window state
Since:

getNewState

public int getNewState()
For WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED events returns the new state of the window. The state is represented as a bitwise mask.
