 public class WindowEvent extends ComponentEvent 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 WindowListenerorWindowAdapterobject which registered to receive such events using the window'saddWindowListenermethod. (WindowAdapterobjects implement theWindowListenerinterface.) Each such listener object gets thisWindowEventwhen the event occurs.An unspecified behavior will be caused if the idparameter of any particularWindowEventinstance is not in the range fromWINDOW_FIRSTtoWINDOW_LAST.- Since:

Field Detail- 
WINDOW_FIRSTpublic static final int WINDOW_FIRST The first number in the range of ids used for window events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_OPENED@Native public static final int WINDOW_OPENED The window opened event. This event is delivered only the first time a window is made visible.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_CLOSING@Native public static final int WINDOW_CLOSING The "window is closing" event. This event is delivered when the user attempts to close the window from the window's system menu. If the program does not explicitly hide or dispose the window while processing this event, the window close operation will be cancelled.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_CLOSED@Native public static final int WINDOW_CLOSED The window closed event. This event is delivered after the displayable window has been closed as the result of a call to dispose.
 - 
WINDOW_ICONIFIED@Native public static final int WINDOW_ICONIFIED The window iconified event. This event is delivered when the window has been changed from a normal to a minimized state. For many platforms, a minimized window is displayed as the icon specified in the window's iconImage property.
 - 
WINDOW_DEICONIFIED@Native public static final int WINDOW_DEICONIFIED The window deiconified event type. This event is delivered when the window has been changed from a minimized to a normal state.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_ACTIVATED@Native public static final int WINDOW_ACTIVATED The window-activated event type. This event is delivered when the Window becomes 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.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_DEACTIVATED@Native public static final int WINDOW_DEACTIVATED The window-deactivated event type. This event is delivered when the 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.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS@Native public static final int WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS The window-gained-focus event type. This event is delivered when the Window becomes the focused Window, which means that the Window, or one of its subcomponents, will receive keyboard events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS@Native public static final int WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS The window-lost-focus event type. This event is delivered when a Window is no longer the focused Window, which means keyboard events will no longer be delivered to the Window or any of its subcomponents.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED@Native public static final int WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED The window-state-changed event type. This event is delivered when a Window's state is changed by virtue of it being iconified, maximized etc.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
WINDOW_LASTpublic static final int WINDOW_LAST The last number in the range of ids used for window events.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail- 
WindowEventpublic WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite, int oldState, int newState) Constructs aWindowEventobject.This method throws an IllegalArgumentExceptionifsourceisnull.- Parameters:
- source- The- Windowobject 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
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if- sourceis null
- Since:
- 1.4

WindowEventpublic WindowEvent(Window source, int id, Window opposite) Constructs aWindowEventobject with the specified oppositeWindow. The oppositeWindowis the otherWindowinvolved in this focus or activation change. For aWINDOW_ACTIVATEDorWINDOW_GAINED_FOCUSevent, this is theWindowthat lost activation or focus. For aWINDOW_DEACTIVATEDorWINDOW_LOST_FOCUSevent, this is theWindowthat gained activation or focus. If this focus change occurs with a native application, with a Java application in a different VM, or with no otherWindow, then the opposite Window isnull.This method throws an IllegalArgumentExceptionifsourceisnull.- Parameters:
- source- The- Windowobject 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.- WindowEventtypes, because the opposite- Windowof other event types will always be- null.
- opposite- The other- Windowinvolved in the focus or activation change, or- null

WindowEventpublic WindowEvent(Window source, int id, int oldState, int newState) Constructs aWindowEventobject with the specified previous and new window states.This method throws an IllegalArgumentExceptionifsourceisnull.- Parameters:
- source- The- Windowobject 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- WindowEventtypes, because the previous and new window states are meaningless for other event types.
- oldState- An integer representing the previous window state. See- #getOldState()for allowable values
- newState- An integer representing the new window state. See- #getNewState()for allowable values
- Throws:
