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 abstractWindowAdapter
class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered with a Window using the window'saddWindowListener
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 theWindowEvent
is passed to it.- Since:
