Interface ContainerListener

All Superinterfaces:
  EventListener

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AWTEventMulticaster, ContainerAdapter

    public interface ContainerListener

extends EventListener

The listener interface for receiving container events. The class that is interested in processing a container event either implements this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstract `ContainerAdapter` class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered with a component using the component's `addContainerListener` method. When the container's contents change because a component has been added or removed, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and the `ContainerEvent` is passed to it.

Container events are provided for notification purposes ONLY; The AWT will automatically handle add and remove operations internally so the program works properly regardless of whether the program registers a `ComponentListener` or not.
