WindowAdapter

Class Overview

An abstract adapter class for receiving window events. The methods in this class are empty. This class exists as convenience for creating listener objects.

Extend this class to create a WindowEvent listener and override the methods for the events of interest. (If you implement the WindowListener interface, you have to define all of the methods in it. This abstract class defines null methods for them all, so you can only have to define methods for events you care about.)

Create a listener object using the extended class and then register it with a Window using the window's addWindowListener method. When the window's status changes by virtue of being opened, closed, activated or deactivated, iconified or deiconified, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and the WindowEvent is passed to it.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface java.awt.event.WindowFocusListener abstract void windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent e) Invoked when the Window is set to be the focused Window, which means that the Window, or one of its subcomponents, will receive keyboard events. abstract void windowLostFocus(WindowEvent e) Invoked when the Window is no longer the focused Window, which means that keyboard events will no longer be delivered to the Window or any of its subcomponents.
From interface java.awt.event.WindowListener abstract void windowActivated(WindowEvent e) Invoked when the Window is set to be the active Window. abstract void windowClosed(WindowEvent e) Invoked when a window has been closed as the result of calling dispose on the window. abstract void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) Invoked when the user attempts to close the window from the window's system menu. abstract void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) Invoked when a Window is no longer the active Window. abstract void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent e) Invoked when a window is changed from a minimized to a normal state. abstract void windowIconified(WindowEvent e) Invoked when a window is changed from a normal to a minimized state. abstract void windowOpened(WindowEvent e) Invoked the first time a window is made visible.
From interface java.awt.event.WindowStateListener abstract void windowStateChanged(WindowEvent e) Invoked when window state is changed.
