public interface PaintListener
extends SWTEventListener

Classes which implement this interface provide methods that deal with the events that are generated when the control needs to be painted.
After creating an instance of a class that implements this interface it can be added to a control using the addPaintListener method and removed using the removePaintListener method. When a paint event occurs, the paintControl method will be invoked.
