The listener interface for receiving
WindowEvents, including
WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS and
WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS events.
The class that is interested in processing a
WindowEvent 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
addWindowFocusListener method.
When the
Window's
status changes by virtue of it being opened, closed, activated, deactivated,
iconified, or deiconified, or by focus being transfered into or out of the
Window, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked,
and the
WindowEvent is passed to it.
