An event reported to a child component that originated from an ancestor in the component hierarchy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructs an AncestorEvent object to identify a change in an ancestor-component's display-status.
Params:
  • source – the JComponent that originated the event (typically this)
  • id – an int specifying ANCESTOR_ADDED, ANCESTOR_REMOVED or ANCESTOR_MOVED
  • ancestor – a Container object specifying the ancestor-component whose display-status changed
  • ancestorParent – a Container object specifying the ancestor's parent
/** * Constructs an AncestorEvent object to identify a change * in an ancestor-component's display-status. * * @param source the JComponent that originated the event * (typically <code>this</code>) * @param id an int specifying {@link #ANCESTOR_ADDED}, * {@link #ANCESTOR_REMOVED} or {@link #ANCESTOR_MOVED} * @param ancestor a Container object specifying the ancestor-component * whose display-status changed * @param ancestorParent a Container object specifying the ancestor's parent */

Returns the ancestor that the event actually occurred on.
Returns:the Container object specifying the ancestor component

Returns the parent of the ancestor the event actually occurred on. This is most interesting in an ANCESTOR_REMOVED event, as the ancestor may no longer be in the component hierarchy.
Returns:the Container object specifying the ancestor's parent
