Uses of Class
java.awt.event.KeyEvent

Packages that use KeyEvent
java.awt Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces and for painting graphics and images. 
java.awt.event Provides interfaces and classes for dealing with different types of events fired by AWT components. 
javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. 
javax.swing.event Provides for events fired by Swing components. 
javax.swing.plaf.basic Provides user interface objects built according to the Basic look and feel. 
 

Uses of KeyEvent in java.awt
 

Methods in java.awt with parameters of type KeyEvent
abstract  boolean KeyboardFocusManager.dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Typically this method will be called by dispatchEvent if no other KeyEventDispatcher in the dispatcher chain dispatched the KeyEvent, or if no other KeyEventDispatchers are registered.
 boolean KeyEventDispatcher.dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager requesting that this KeyEventDispatcher dispatch the specified event on its behalf.
 boolean DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Called by dispatchEvent if no other KeyEventDispatcher in the dispatcher chain dispatched the KeyEvent, or if no other KeyEventDispatchers are registered.
static AWTKeyStroke AWTKeyStroke.getAWTKeyStrokeForEvent(KeyEvent anEvent)
          Returns an AWTKeyStroke which represents the stroke which generated a given KeyEvent.
 void AWTEventMulticaster.keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
          Handles the keyPressed event by invoking the keyPressed methods on listener-a and listener-b.
 void AWTEventMulticaster.keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
          Handles the keyReleased event by invoking the keyReleased methods on listener-a and listener-b.
 void AWTEventMulticaster.keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
          Handles the keyTyped event by invoking the keyTyped methods on listener-a and listener-b.
abstract  boolean KeyboardFocusManager.postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          This method will be called by dispatchKeyEvent.
 boolean KeyEventPostProcessor.postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          This method is called by the current KeyboardFocusManager, requesting that this KeyEventPostProcessor perform any necessary post-processing which should be part of the KeyEvent's final resolution.
 boolean DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          This method will be called by dispatchKeyEvent.
abstract  void KeyboardFocusManager.processKeyEvent(Component focusedComponent, KeyEvent e)
          This method initiates a focus traversal operation if and only if the KeyEvent represents a focus traversal key for the specified focusedComponent.
 void DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.processKeyEvent(Component focusedComponent, KeyEvent e)
          This method initiates a focus traversal operation if and only if the KeyEvent represents a focus traversal key for the specified focusedComponent.
protected  void Component.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Processes key events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered KeyListener objects.
 

Uses of KeyEvent in java.awt.event
 

Methods in java.awt.event with parameters of type KeyEvent
 void KeyListener.keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been pressed.
 void KeyAdapter.keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been pressed.
 void KeyListener.keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been released.
 void KeyAdapter.keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been released.
 void KeyListener.keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been typed.
 void KeyAdapter.keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
          Invoked when a key has been typed.
 

Uses of KeyEvent in javax.swing
 

Methods in javax.swing with parameters of type KeyEvent
static KeyStroke KeyStroke.getKeyStrokeForEvent(KeyEvent anEvent)
          Returns a KeyStroke which represents the stroke which generated a given KeyEvent.
static boolean SwingUtilities.notifyAction(Action action, KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent event, Object sender, int modifiers)
          Invokes actionPerformed on action if action is enabled (and non-null).
protected  void JComponent.processComponentKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Processes any key events that the component itself recognizes.
protected  boolean JTable.processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e, int condition, boolean pressed)
           
protected  boolean JMenuBar.processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e, int condition, boolean pressed)
          Subclassed to check all the child menus.
protected  boolean JComponent.processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e, int condition, boolean pressed)
          Invoked to process the key bindings for ks as the result of the KeyEvent e.
static boolean SwingUtilities.processKeyBindings(KeyEvent event)
          Process the key bindings for the Component associated with event.
 void MenuSelectionManager.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          When a MenuElement receives an event from a KeyListener, it should never process the event directly.
protected  void JPopupMenu.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent evt)
          Processes key stroke events such as mnemonics and accelerators.
protected  void JMenu.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent evt)
          Processes key stroke events such as mnemonics and accelerators.
protected  void JComponent.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Overrides processKeyEvent to process events.
 void JComboBox.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
          Handles KeyEvents, looking for the Tab key.
 void MenuElement.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent event, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager)
          Process a key event.
 void JPopupMenu.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager)
          Processes a key event forwarded from the MenuSelectionManager and changes the menu selection, if necessary, by using MenuSelectionManager's API.
 void JMenuItem.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager)
          Processes a key event forwarded from the MenuSelectionManager and changes the menu selection, if necessary, by using MenuSelectionManager's API.
 void JMenuBar.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e, MenuElement[] path, MenuSelectionManager manager)
          Implemented to be a MenuElement -- does nothing.
 

Uses of KeyEvent in javax.swing.event
