Event Listener Object

When a GUI program is running, the user generates an event by interacting with a GUI component. Here are some ways to generate an event:

  • Moving the mouse.
  • Clicking the mouse.
  • Clicking on a button.
  • Typing some text into a text area.

For a program to respond to an event there must be an event listener object for it. A event listener object contains a listener method for a specific type of event. A program will ignore events if there is no listener for them.

QUESTION 8:

(Thought question: ) Could an event listener object contain other methods in addition to listener methods?
