java.lang.Object java.util.EventObject java.awt.AWTEvent java.awt.event.HierarchyEvent
public class HierarchyEvent
An event which indicates a change to the Component
hierarchy to which a Component
belongs.
Hierarchy events are provided for notification purposes ONLY. The AWT will automatically handle changes to the hierarchy internally so that GUI layout and displayability works properly regardless of whether a program is receiving these events or not.
This event is generated by a Container object (such as a Panel) when the
Container is added, removed, moved, or resized, and passed down the
hierarchy. It is also generated by a Component object when that object's
addNotify
, removeNotify
, show
, or
hide
method is called. ANCESTOR_MOVED and ANCESTOR_RESIZED
events are dispatched to every HierarchyBoundsListener
or
HierarchyBoundsAdapter
object which registered to receive
such events using the Component's addHierarchyBoundsListener
method. (HierarchyBoundsAdapter
objects implement the
HierarchyBoundsListener
interface.) HIERARCHY_CHANGED events are
dispatched to every HierarchyListener
object which registered
to receive such events using the Component's addHierarchyListener
method. Each such listener object gets this HierarchyEvent
when the event occurs.

public static final int ANCESTOR_MOVED
public static final int ANCESTOR_RESIZED
public static final int HIERARCHY_LAST
public static final int PARENT_CHANGED
HIERARCHY_CHANGED
event
was generated by a reparenting operation.
public static final int DISPLAYABILITY_CHANGED
HIERARCHY_CHANGED
event
was generated due to a change in the displayability
of the hierarchy. To discern the
current displayability of the hierarchy, call
Component.isDisplayable
. Displayability changes occur
in response to explicit or implicit calls to
Component.addNotify
and
Component.removeNotify
.
public static final int SHOWING_CHANGED
HIERARCHY_CHANGED
event
was generated due to a change in the showing state
of the hierarchy. To discern the
current showing state of the hierarchy, call
Component.isShowing
. Showing state changes occur
when either the displayability or visibility of the
hierarchy occurs. Visibility changes occur in response to explicit
or implicit calls to Component.show
and
Component.hide
.

. For a HIERARCHY_CHANGED event where the
change was of type PARENT_CHANGED via a call to
Container.add
, the parent returned is the parent
after the add operation. For a HIERARCHY_CHANGED event where
the change was of type PARENT_CHANGED via a call to
Container.remove
, the parent returned is the parent
before the remove operation. For all other events and types,
the parent returned is the parent during the operation.
