Class SwingEventMonitor

java.lang.Object

com.sun.java.accessibility.util.AWTEventMonitor

com.sun.java.accessibility.util.SwingEventMonitor

public class SwingEventMonitor extends AWTEventMonitor

SwingEventMonitor extends AWTEventMonitor by adding a suite of listeners conditionally installed on every Swing component instance in the Java Virtual Machine. The events captured by these listeners are made available through a unified set of listeners supported by SwingEventMonitor. With this, all the individual events on each of the AWT and Swing component instances are funneled into one set of listeners broken down by category (see EventID for the categories).

This class depends upon EventQueueMonitor, which provides the base level support for capturing the top-level containers as they are created.

Because this class extends AWTEventMonitor, it is not necessary to use this class and AWTEventMonitor at the same time. If you want to monitor both AWT and Swing components, you should use just this class.
