Events ( distinguish these from Exceptions!) are the way the AWT interacts with the user at mouse or keyboard.
|
|
The AWT calls particular event handlers (analogous to exception or interrupt handlers) when user interacts with system in particular ways.
|
|
The handling is defined in packages java.awt and java.awt.peer (the machine dependent stuff) with method handleEvent() in class Component(peer)
|
|
One could add additional capability here for systems with nifty virtual reality and other user interfaces but we won't cover this here!
|
|
public boolean keyDown(Event evt, int key) { } method is called when you press keyboard.
