如何编写窗口监听器

This section explains how to implement three kinds of window-related event handlers: WindowListener, WindowFocusListener, and WindowStateListener. All three listeners handle WindowEvent objects. The methods in all three event handlers are implemented by the abstract WindowAdapter class.

When the appropriate listener has been registered on a window (such as a frame or dialog), window events are fired just after the window activity or state has occurred. A window is considered as a "focus owner", if this window receives keyboard input.

The following window activities or states can precede a window event:

• Opening a window — Showing a window for the first time.
• Closing a window — Removing the window from the screen.
• Iconifying a window — Reducing the window to an icon on the desktop.
• Deiconifying a window — Restoring the window to its original size.
• Focused window — The window which contains the "focus owner".
• Activated window (frame or dialog) — This window is either the focused window, or owns the focused window.
• Deactivated window — This window has lost the focus. For more information about focus, see the AWT Focus Subsystem specification.
• Maximizing the window — Increasing a window's size to the maximum allowable size, either in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, or both directions.

  The WindowListener interface defines methods that handle most window events, such as the events for opening and closing the window, activation and deactivation of the window, and iconification and deiconification of the window.

  The other two window listener interfaces are WindowFocusListener and WindowStateListener. WindowFocusListener contains methods to detect when the window becomes the focus owner or it loses the focus owner status. WindowStateListener has a single method to detect a change to the state of the window, such as when the window is iconified, deiconified, maximized, or restored to normal.

  While you can use the WindowListener methods to detect some window states, such as iconification, there are two reasons why a WindowStateListener might be preferable: it has only one method for you to implement, and it provides support for maximization.

  注意: Not all window managers/native platforms support all window states. The java.awt.Toolkit method isFrameStateSupported(int) can be used to determine whether a particular window state is supported by a particular window manager. The WindowEventDemo example, described later in this section, shows how this method can be used.

  Window listeners are commonly used to implement custom window-closing behavior. For example, a window listener is used to save data before closing the window, or to exit the program when the last window closes.

  A user does not necessarily need to implement a window listener to specify what a window should do when the user closes it. By default, when the user closes a window the window becomes invisible. To specify different behavior, use the setDefaultCloseOperation method of the JFrame or JDialog classes. To implement a window-closing handler, use the setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE) method to enable the window listener to provide all window-closing duties. See Responding to Window-Closing Events for details on how to use setDefaultCloseOperation.

  When the last displayable window within the Java virtual machine (VM) is disposed of, the VM may terminate. Note, however, that there can be a delay before the program exits automatically, and that under some circumstances the program might keep running. It is quicker and safer to explicitly exit the program using System.exit(int). See AWT Threading Issues for more information.

  Window listeners are also commonly used to stop threads and release resources when a window is iconified, and to start up again when the window is deiconified. This avoids unnecessarily using the processor or other resources. For example, when a window that contains animation is iconified, it should stop its animation thread and free any large buffers. When the window is deiconified, it can start the thread again and recreate the buffers.

  The following example demonstrates window events. A non-editable text area reports all window events that are fired by its window. This demo implements all methods in the WindowListener, WindowFocusListener, and WindowStateListener interfaces. You can find the demo's code in WindowEventDemo.java.

  试试这个: 

  1. Click the Launch button to run WindowEventDemo using Java™ Web Start (download JDK 7 or later). Alternatively, to compile and run the example yourself, consult the example index.
     
  2. When the window appears, several messages are already displayed. One line reports whether your window manager supports MAXIMIZED_BOTH. If the window manager does not support other window states, this condition is also reported. Next, several lines are displayed, reporting that the window's window listener has received window-opened, activated, and gained-focus events. All the messages displayed in the window are also sent to standard output.
  3. Click another window. The "window lost focus" and "window deactivated" messages will be displayed. If this window is not a frame or a dialog, it will receive the activated or deactivated events.
  4. Click the WindowEventDemo window. You'll see "window activated" and "window gained focus" messages.
  5. Iconify the window, using the window controls. Two iconification messages are displayed, one from the window listener and the other from the window state listener. Unless you are looking at standard output, the messages will not display until the window is deiconified. Window-deactivation and window-lost-focus events are also reported.
  6. De-iconify the window. Two deiconification messages are displayed, one from the window listener and the other from the window state listener. The windowStateChanged method in WindowStateListener class gives the same information that you get using the windowIconified and windowDeiconified methods in WindowListener class. Window-activation and window-gained-focus events are also reported.
  7. Maximize the window, if your look and feel provides a way to do so. Note that some look and feels running on some window managers, such as the Java look and feel on dtwm, provide a way to maximize the window, but no events are reported. This is because dtwm mimics maximization by resizing the window, but it is not a true maximization event. Some look and feels provide a way to maximize the window in the vertical or horizontal direction only. Experiment with your window controls to see what options are available.
  8. Close the window, using the window controls. A window closing message is displayed. Once the window has closed, a window closed message is sent to standard output.

  The Window Listener API

  The window listener API consists of three window listener interfaces and the WindowEvent class. Their methods are listed in the following tables:
  • The WindowListener Interface
  • The WindowFocusListener Interface
  • The WindowStateListener Interface
  • The WindowEvent Class
  The methods from all three interfaces are available through the WindowAdapter class.

  The WindowListener Interface

  方法	目的
  windowOpened(WindowEvent)	Called just after the listened-to window has been shown for the first time.
  windowClosing(WindowEvent)	Called in response to a user request for the listened-to window to be closed. To actually close the window, the listener should invoke the window's dispose or setVisible(false) method.
  windowClosed(WindowEvent)	Called just after the listened-to window has closed.
  windowIconified(WindowEvent) windowDeiconified(WindowEvent)	Called just after the listened-to window is iconified or deiconified, respectively.
  windowActivated(WindowEvent) windowDeactivated(WindowEvent)	Called just after the listened-to window is activated or deactivated, respectively. These methods are not sent to windows that are not frames or dialogs. For this reason, the windowGainedFocus and windowLostFocus methods to determine when a window gains or loses the focus are preferred.

  The WindowFocusListener Interface

  方法	目的
  windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent) windowLostFocus(WindowEvent)	Called just after the listened-to window gains or loses the focus, respectively.

  The WindowStateListener Interface

  方法

  目的

  windowStateChanged(WindowEvent)

  Called just after the listened-to window's state is changed by being iconified, deiconified, maximized, or returned to normal. The state is available through the WindowEvent as a bitwise mask. The possible values, defined in java.awt.Frame, are: NORMAL. Indicates that no state bits are set. ICONIFIED. MAXIMIZED_HORIZ. MAXIMIZED_VERT. MAXIMIZED_BOTH. Concatenates MAXIMIZED_HORIZ and MAXIMIZED_VERT. A window manager may support MAXIMIZED_BOTH, while not supporting MAXIMIZED_HORIZ or MAXIMIZED_VERT. The java.awt.Toolkit method isFrameStateSupported(int) can be used to determine what states are supported by the window manager.

  The WindowEvent Class

  方法	目的
  Window getWindow()	Returns the window that fired the event. You can use this instead of the getSource method.
  Window getOppositeWindow()	Returns the other window involved in this focus or activation change. For a WINDOW_ACTIVATED or WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS event, this returns the window that lost activation or the focus. For a WINDOW_DEACTIVATED or WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS event, this returns the window that gained activation or the focus. For any other type of WindowEvent with a Java application in a different VM or context, or with no other window, null is returned.
  int getOldState() int getNewState()	For WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED events, these methods return the previous or new state of the window as a bitwise mask.

  Examples that Use Window Listeners
