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.

Constructs a WindowEvent object.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Params:
  • 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

public WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite, int oldState, int newState) { super(source, id); this.opposite = opposite; this.oldState = oldState; this.newState = newState; }
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.

Params:
  • 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.

Constructs a WindowEvent object with the specified previous and new window states.

This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null.

Params:
  • 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.
