event handling with swing (ActionListener )

65 New Member
KeyListener listens keyboard strokes,
MouseListener listens mouse events, etc.

My question is about ActionListener.
what kind of events does ActionListener listen?

its name does not give much information, or does it listen all possible events?
can you give an example?

Not all possible events. Most common examples are Button click and enter on a TextField

Key and Mouse (Motion) events are so called "low level" events. The other events
are "high level" events not directly caused by a device of some sort. The high
level events notify the listeners of bounded (or "vetoable") property changes and
(optionally) required actions. Note that most of Swings JComponents fire quite
a lot of those "high level" events in sequence when something simple such as a
mouse press happens: it could've been on a button that scrolls a list that hides,
exposes a certain element etc.

kind regards,

Jos

I have a "wizard" type program with a series of panels that are placed in a JPanel. When the "Next >" button is pressed, I put in a new panel (in other words, the ActionListener for "Next >" selects the proper panel from a CardLayout). Some of these panels, when selected, perform actions immediately. When that happens, the panel is not displayed until the action is complete. I've tried invalidating the layout and repainting, but it...

I am dynamically adding rows to a table, and each row have a button which removes it. I have successfully implemented this for mozilla but I'm having troubles with IE, here is how I did it: Each new row's id is an index number, each button's name is the row's id, and I'm adding this function as the click event listener for the button: function removeline(event){ var row=document.getElementById("row" + event.target.name);

I am writing a VB.NET application in Visual Studio 2003. I have written a method that handles several events, such as closing a form and changing the visible status of a form. I have some code that applies to all these events, but I need to have specific code execute when the form closes. The properties for this method are sender (the originator) and e (event arguments). I know how to get typeof (sender) to determine what form or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
