/**
* A semantic event which indicates that an object's text changed.
* This high-level event is generated by an object (such as a TextComponent)
* when its text changes. The event is passed to
* every <code>TextListener</code> object which registered to receive such
* events using the component's <code>addTextListener</code> method.
* <P>
* The object that implements the <code>TextListener</code> interface gets
* this <code>TextEvent</code> when the event occurs. The listener is
* spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and key strokes
* Instead, it can process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "text changed".
