All Superinterfaces:

EventListener

All Known Implementing Classes:

AWTEventMulticaster, WindowAdapter, BasicToolBarUI.FrameListener, JMenu.WinListener

Most common way to construct:

WindowListener closer = new WindowAdapter();

Based on 6 examples

public interface WindowListener
extends EventListener

The listener interface for receiving window events. The class that is interested in processing a window event either implements this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstract WindowAdapter class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered 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.

windowActivated

public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e)

Invoked when the Window is set to be the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.

Parameters:

e

windowClosed

public void windowClosed(WindowEvent e)

Invoked when a window has been closed as the result of calling dispose on the window.

Parameters:

e

windowClosing

public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)

Invoked when the user attempts to close the window from the window's system menu.

Parameters:

e

windowDeactivated

public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e)

Invoked when a Window is no longer the active Window. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.

Parameters:

e

windowDeiconified

public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent e)

Invoked when a window is changed from a minimized to a normal state.

Parameters:

e

windowIconified

public void windowIconified(WindowEvent e)
