# Class Component

java.lang.Object
java.awt.Component

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `Button, Canvas, Checkbox, Choice, Container, Label, List, Scrollbar, TextComponent`

public abstract class Component extends Object implements ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable
A component is an object having a graphical representation that can be displayed on the screen and that can interact with the user. Examples of components are the buttons, checkboxes, and scrollbars of a typical graphical user interface.

The `Component` class is the abstract superclass of the nonmenu-related Abstract Window Toolkit components. Class `Component` can also be extended directly to create a lightweight component. A lightweight component is a component that is not associated with a native window. On the contrary, a heavyweight component is associated with a native window. The `isLightweight()` method may be used to distinguish between the two kinds of the components.

Lightweight and heavyweight components may be mixed in a single component hierarchy. However, for correct operating of such a mixed hierarchy of components, the whole hierarchy must be valid. When the hierarchy gets invalidated, like after changing the bounds of components, or adding/removing components to/from containers, the whole hierarchy must be validated afterwards by means of the `Container.validate()` method invoked on the top-most invalid container of the hierarchy.

## Serialization

It is important to note that only AWT listeners which conform to the `Serializable` protocol will be saved when the object is stored. If an AWT object has listeners that aren't marked serializable, they will be dropped at `writeObject` time. Developers will need, as always, to consider the implications of making an object serializable. One situation to watch out for is this:

       import java.awt.*;
       import java.awt.event.*;
       import java.io.Serializable;

       class MyApp implements ActionListener, Serializable
       {
           BigObjectThatShouldNotBeSerializedWithAButton bigOne;
           Button aButton = new Button();

           MyApp()
           {
               // Oops, now aButton has a listener with a reference
               // to bigOne!
               aButton.addActionListener(this);
           }

           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
           {
               System.out.println("Hello There");
           }
       }

In this example, serializing `aButton` by itself will cause `MyApp` and everything it refers to to be serialized as well. The problem is that the listener is serializable by coincidence, not by design. To separate the decisions about `MyApp` and the `ActionListener` being serializable one can use a nested class, as in the following example:

       import java.awt.*;
       import java.awt.event.*;
       import java.io.Serializable;

       class MyApp implements java.io.Serializable
       {
            BigObjectThatShouldNotBeSerializedWithAButton bigOne;
            Button aButton = new Button();

            static class MyActionListener implements ActionListener
            {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                {
                    System.out.println("Hello There");
                }
            }

            MyApp()
            {
                aButton.addActionListener(new MyActionListener());
            }
       }

    Returns:
      the drop target

  - ### getGraphicsConfiguration

    public GraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()
    Gets the `GraphicsConfiguration` associated with this `Component`. If the `Component` has not been assigned a specific `GraphicsConfiguration`, the `GraphicsConfiguration` of the `Component` object's top-level container is returned.

    Returns:
      the `GraphicsConfiguration` used by this `Component` or `null`
    Since:
      1.3

  - ### getTreeLock

    public final Object getTreeLock()
    Gets this component's locking object (the object that owns the thread synchronization monitor) for AWT component-tree and layout operations.
    Returns:
      this component's locking object

  - ### getToolkit

    public Toolkit getToolkit()
    Gets the toolkit of this component. Note that the frame that contains a component controls which toolkit is used by that component. Therefore if the component is moved from one frame to another, the toolkit it uses may change.
    Returns:
      the toolkit of this component
    Since:
      1.0

  - ### isValid

    public boolean isValid()
    Determines whether this component is valid. A component is valid when it is correctly sized and positioned within its parent container and all its children are also valid. In order to account for peers' size requirements, components are invalidated before they are first shown on the screen. By the time the parent container is fully realized, all its components will be valid.
    Returns:
      `true` if the component is valid, `false` otherwise
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `validate()`
      - `invalidate()`

  - ### isDisplayable

    public boolean isDisplayable()
    Determines whether this component is displayable. A component is displayable when it is connected to a native screen resource.

    A component is made displayable either when it is added to a displayable containment hierarchy or when its containment hierarchy is made displayable. A containment hierarchy is made displayable when its ancestor window is either packed or made visible.

    A component is made undisplayable either when it is removed from a displayable containment hierarchy or when its containment hierarchy is made undisplayable. A containment hierarchy is made undisplayable when its ancestor window is disposed.

    Returns:
      `true` if the component is displayable, `false` otherwise
    Since:
      1.2
    See Also:
      - `Container.add(Component)`
      - `Window.pack()`
      - `Window.show()`
      - `Container.remove(Component)`
      - `Window.dispose()`

  - ### isVisible

    public boolean isVisible()
    Determines whether this component should be visible when its parent is visible. Components are initially visible, with the exception of top level components such as `Frame` objects.
    Returns:
      `true` if the component is visible, `false` otherwise
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `setVisible(boolean)`

  - ### getMousePosition

    public Point getMousePosition() throws HeadlessException
    Returns the position of the mouse pointer in this `Component`'s coordinate space if the `Component` is directly under the mouse pointer, otherwise returns `null`. If the `Component` is not showing on the screen, this method returns `null` even if the mouse pointer is above the area where the `Component` would be displayed. If the `Component` is partially or fully obscured by other `Component`s or native windows, this method returns a non-null value only if the mouse pointer is located above the unobscured part of the `Component`.

    For `Container`s it returns a non-null value if the mouse is above the `Container` itself or above any of its descendants. Use `Container.getMousePosition(boolean)` if you need to exclude children.

    Sometimes the exact mouse coordinates are not important, and the only thing that matters is whether a specific `Component` is under the mouse pointer. If the return value of this method is `null`, mouse pointer is not directly above the `Component`.

    Returns:
      mouse coordinates relative to this `Component`, or null
    Throws:
      `HeadlessException` - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true
    Since:
      1.5
    See Also:
      - `isShowing()`
      - `Container.getMousePosition(boolean)`

  - ### isShowing

    public boolean isShowing()
    Determines whether this component is showing on screen. This means that the component must be visible, and it must be in a container that is visible and showing.

    Note: sometimes there is no way to detect whether the `Component` is actually visible to the user. This can happen when:

    - the component has been added to a visible `ScrollPane` but the `Component` is not currently in the scroll pane's view port.
    - the `Component` is obscured by another `Component` or `Container`.
    Returns:
      `true` if the component is showing, `false` otherwise
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `setVisible(boolean)`

  - ### isEnabled

    public boolean isEnabled()
    Determines whether this component is enabled. An enabled component can respond to user input and generate events. Components are enabled initially by default. A component may be enabled or disabled by calling its `setEnabled` method.
    Returns:
      `true` if the component is enabled, `false` otherwise
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `setEnabled(boolean)`

  - ### setEnabled

    public void setEnabled(boolean b)
    Enables or disables this component, depending on the value of the parameter `b`. An enabled component can respond to user input and generate events. Components are enabled initially by default.

    Note: Disabling a lightweight component does not prevent it from receiving MouseEvents.

    Note: Disabling a heavyweight container prevents all components in this container from receiving any input events. But disabling a lightweight container affects only this container.

    Parameters:
      `b` - If `true`, this component is enabled; otherwise this component is disabled
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `isEnabled()`

  - ### disable

    @Deprecated public void disable()
    Deprecated.
    As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `setEnabled(boolean)`.

  - ### isDoubleBuffered

    public boolean isDoubleBuffered()
    Returns true if this component is painted to an offscreen image ("buffer") that's copied to the screen later. Component subclasses that support double buffering should override this method to return true if double buffering is enabled.
    Returns:
      false by default

  - ### enableInputMethods

    public void enableInputMethods(boolean enable)
    Enables or disables input method support for this component. If input method support is enabled and the component also processes key events, incoming events are offered to the current input method and will only be processed by the component or dispatched to its listeners if the input method does not consume them. By default, input method support is enabled.
    Parameters:
      `enable` - true to enable, false to disable
    Since:
      1.2
    See Also:
      - `processKeyEvent(KeyEvent)`

  - ### getLocation

    public Point getLocation()
    Gets the location of this component in the form of a point specifying the component's top-left corner. The location will be relative to the parent's coordinate space.

    Due to the asynchronous nature of native event handling, this method can return outdated values (for instance, after several calls of `setLocation()` in rapid succession). For this reason, the recommended method of obtaining a component's position is within `java.awt.event.ComponentListener.componentMoved()`, which is called after the operating system has finished moving the component.

    Returns:
      an instance of `Point` representing the top-left corner of the component's bounds in the coordinate space of the component's parent

  - ### getX

    public int getX()
    Returns the current x coordinate of the components origin. This method is preferable to writing `component.getBounds().x`, or `component.getLocation().x` because it doesn't cause any heap allocations.

      1.2

  - ### getBounds

    public Rectangle getBounds(Rectangle rv)
    Stores the bounds of this component into "return value" rv and return rv. If rv is `null` a new `Rectangle` is allocated. This version of `getBounds` is useful if the caller wants to avoid allocating a new `Rectangle` object on the heap.
    Parameters:
      `rv` - the return value, modified to the components bounds
    Returns:
      rv

  - ### getSize

    public Dimension getSize(Dimension rv)
    Stores the width/height of this component into "return value" rv and return rv. If rv is `null` a new `Dimension` object is allocated. This version of `getSize` is useful if the caller wants to avoid allocating a new `Dimension` object on the heap.

      `rv` - the return value, modified to the components location
    Returns:
      rv

  - ### isOpaque

    public boolean isOpaque()
    Returns true if this component is completely opaque, returns false by default.

    An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular region. A non-opaque component paints only some of its pixels, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through". A component that does not fully paint its pixels therefore provides a degree of transparency.

    Subclasses that guarantee to always completely paint their contents should override this method and return true.

    Returns:
      true if this component is completely opaque
    Since:
      1.2
    See Also:
      - `isLightweight()`

  - ### isLightweight

    public boolean isLightweight()
    A lightweight component doesn't have a native toolkit peer. Subclasses of `Component` and `Container`, other than the ones defined in this package like `Button` or `Scrollbar`, are lightweight. All of the Swing components are lightweights.

    This method will always return `false` if this component is not displayable because it is impossible to determine the weight of an undisplayable component.

    Returns:
      true if this component has a lightweight peer; false if it has a native peer or no peer
    Since:
      1.2
    See Also:
      - `isDisplayable()`

  - ### setPreferredSize

    public void setPreferredSize(Dimension preferredSize)
    Sets the preferred size of this component to a constant value. Subsequent calls to `getPreferredSize` will always return this value. Setting the preferred size to `null` restores the default behavior.
    Parameters:
      `preferredSize` - The new preferred size, or null

      1.5
    See Also:
      - `getPreferredSize()`

    Returns:
      true if `setPreferredSize` has been invoked with a non-null value.
    Since:
      1.5

      the component's preferred size

  - ### setMinimumSize

    public void setMinimumSize(Dimension minimumSize)
    Sets the minimum size of this component to a constant value. Subsequent calls to `getMinimumSize` will always return this value. Setting the minimum size to `null` restores the default behavior.

    Returns:
      the minimum size of this component

  - ### setMaximumSize

    public void setMaximumSize(Dimension maximumSize)
    Sets the maximum size of this component to a constant value. Subsequent calls to `getMaximumSize` will always return this value. Setting the maximum size to `null` restores the default behavior.

      - `getPreferredSize()`
      - `LayoutManager`

  - ### getAlignmentX

    public float getAlignmentX()
    Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.
    Returns:
      the horizontal alignment of this component

  - ### getAlignmentY

    public float getAlignmentY()
    Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.
    Returns:
      the vertical alignment of this component

  - ### getBaseline

    public int getBaseline(int width, int height)
    Returns the baseline. The baseline is measured from the top of the component. This method is primarily meant for `LayoutManager`s to align components along their baseline. A return value less than 0 indicates this component does not have a reasonable baseline and that `LayoutManager`s should not align this component on its baseline.

    The default implementation returns -1. Subclasses that support baseline should override appropriately. If a value >= 0 is returned, then the component has a valid baseline for any size >= the minimum size and `getBaselineResizeBehavior` can be used to determine how the baseline changes with size.

    Parameters:
      `width` - the width to get the baseline for
      `height` - the height to get the baseline for
    Returns:
      the baseline or < 0 indicating there is no reasonable baseline
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if width or height is < 0
    Since:
      1.6
    See Also:
      - `getBaselineResizeBehavior()`
      - `FontMetrics`

  - ### getBaselineResizeBehavior

    public Component.BaselineResizeBehavior getBaselineResizeBehavior()
    Returns an enum indicating how the baseline of the component changes as the size changes. This method is primarily meant for layout managers and GUI builders.

    The default implementation returns `BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER`. Subclasses that have a baseline should override appropriately. Subclasses should never return `null`; if the baseline can not be calculated return `BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER`. Callers should first ask for the baseline using `getBaseline` and if a value >= 0 is returned use this method. It is acceptable for this method to return a value other than `BaselineResizeBehavior.OTHER` even if `getBaseline` returns a value less than 0.

    Returns:
      an enum indicating how the baseline changes as the component size changes
    Since:
      1.6
    See Also:
      - `getBaseline(int, int)`

  - ### doLayout

    public void doLayout()
    Prompts the layout manager to lay out this component. This is usually called when the component (more specifically, container) is validated.
    See Also:
      - `validate()`
      - `LayoutManager`

  - ### layout

    @Deprecated public void layout()
    Deprecated.
    As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `doLayout()`.

  - ### validate

    public void validate()
    Validates this component.

    The meaning of the term validating is defined by the ancestors of this class. See `Container.validate()` for more details.

    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `invalidate()`
      - `doLayout()`
      - `LayoutManager`
      - `Container.validate()`

  - ### invalidate

    public void invalidate()
    Invalidates this component and its ancestors.

    By default, all the ancestors of the component up to the top-most container of the hierarchy are marked invalid. If the `java.awt.smartInvalidate` system property is set to `true`, invalidation stops on the nearest validate root of this component. Marking a container invalid indicates that the container needs to be laid out.

    This method is called automatically when any layout-related information changes (e.g. setting the bounds of the component, or adding the component to a container).

    This method might be called often, so it should work fast.

    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `validate()`
      - `doLayout()`
      - `LayoutManager`
      - `Container.isValidateRoot()`

  - ### revalidate

    public void revalidate()
    Revalidates the component hierarchy up to the nearest validate root.

    This method first invalidates the component hierarchy starting from this component up to the nearest validate root. Afterwards, the component hierarchy is validated starting from the nearest validate root.

    This is a convenience method supposed to help application developers avoid looking for validate roots manually. Basically, it's equivalent to first calling the `invalidate()` method on this component, and then calling the `validate()` method on the nearest validate root.

    Since:
      1.7
    See Also:
      - `Container.isValidateRoot()`

  - ### getGraphics

    public Graphics getGraphics()
    Creates a graphics context for this component. This method will return `null` if this component is currently not displayable.
    Returns:
      a graphics context for this component, or `null` if it has none
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `paint(Graphics)`

  - ### getFontMetrics

    public FontMetrics getFontMetrics(Font font)
    Gets the font metrics for the specified font. Warning: Since Font metrics are affected by the `FontRenderContext` and this method does not provide one, it can return only metrics for the default render context which may not match that used when rendering on the Component if `Graphics2D` functionality is being used. Instead metrics can be obtained at rendering time by calling `Graphics.getFontMetrics()` or text measurement APIs on the `Font` class.
    Parameters:
      `font` - the font for which font metrics is to be obtained
    Returns:
      the font metrics for `font`
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `getFont()`
      - `ComponentPeer.getFontMetrics(Font)`
      - `Toolkit.getFontMetrics(Font)`

  - ### setCursor

    public void setCursor(Cursor cursor)
    Sets the cursor image to the specified cursor. This cursor image is displayed when the `contains` method for this component returns true for the current cursor location, and this Component is visible, displayable, and enabled. Setting the cursor of a `Container` causes that cursor to be displayed within all of the container's subcomponents, except for those that have a non-`null` cursor.

    The method may have no visual effect if the Java platform implementation and/or the native system do not support changing the mouse cursor shape.

    Parameters:
      `cursor` - One of the constants defined by the `Cursor` class; if this parameter is `null` then this component will inherit the cursor of its parent
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `isEnabled()`
      - `isShowing()`
      - `getCursor()`
      - `contains(int, int)`
      - `Toolkit.createCustomCursor(Image, Point, String)`
      - `Cursor`

  - ### getCursor

    public Cursor getCursor()
    Gets the cursor set in the component. If the component does not have a cursor set, the cursor of its parent is returned. If no cursor is set in the entire hierarchy, `Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR` is returned.
    Returns:
      the cursor for this component
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `setCursor(Cursor)`

  - ### isCursorSet

    public boolean isCursorSet()
    Returns whether the cursor has been explicitly set for this Component. If this method returns `false`, this Component is inheriting its cursor from an ancestor.
    Returns:
      `true` if the cursor has been explicitly set for this Component; `false` otherwise.
    Since:
      1.4

  - ### paint

    public void paint(Graphics g)
    Paints this component.

    This method is called when the contents of the component should be painted; such as when the component is first being shown or is damaged and in need of repair. The clip rectangle in the `Graphics` parameter is set to the area which needs to be painted. Subclasses of `Component` that override this method need not call `super.paint(g)`.

    For performance reasons, `Component`s with zero width or height aren't considered to need painting when they are first shown, and also aren't considered to need repair.

    Note: For more information on the paint mechanisms utilitized by AWT and Swing, including information on how to write the most efficient painting code, see Painting in AWT and Swing.

    Parameters:
      `g` - the graphics context to use for painting
    Since:
      1.0
    See Also:
      - `update(Graphics)`

  - ### update

    public void update(Graphics g)
    Updates this component.

    If this component is not a lightweight component, the AWT calls the `update` method in response to a call to `repaint`. You can assume that the background is not cleared.

    The `update` method of `Component` calls this component's `paint` method to redraw this component. This method is commonly overridden by subclasses which need to do additional work in response to a call to `repaint`. Subclasses of Component that override this method should either call `super.update(g)`, or call `paint(g)` directly from their `update` method.

    The origin of the graphics context, its (`0`, `0`) coordinate point, is the top-left corner of this component. The clipping region of the graphics context is the bounding rectangle of this component.

    Note: For more information on the paint mechanisms utilitized by AWT and Swing, including information on how to write the most efficient painting code, see Painting in AWT and Swing.

    Parameters:
      `g` - the specified context to use for updating

  - ### imageUpdate

    public boolean imageUpdate(Image img, int infoflags, int x, int y, int w, int h)
    Repaints the component when the image has changed. This `imageUpdate` method of an `ImageObserver` is called when more information about an image which had been previously requested using an asynchronous routine such as the `drawImage` method of `Graphics` becomes available. See the definition of `imageUpdate` for more information on this method and its arguments.

    The `imageUpdate` method of `Component` incrementally draws an image on the component as more of the bits of the image are available.

    If the system property `awt.image.incrementaldraw` is missing or has the value `true`, the image is incrementally drawn. If the system property has any other value, then the image is not drawn until it has been completely loaded.

    Also, if incremental drawing is in effect, the value of the system property `awt.image.redrawrate` is interpreted as an integer to give the maximum redraw rate, in milliseconds. If the system property is missing or cannot be interpreted as an integer, the redraw rate is once every 100ms.

    The interpretation of the `x`, `y`, `width`, and `height` arguments depends on the value of the `infoflags` argument.

    Specified by:
      `imageUpdate` in interface `ImageObserver`
    Parameters:
      `img` - the image being observed
      `infoflags` - see `imageUpdate` for more information
      `x` - the x coordinate
      `y` - the y coordinate
      `w` - the width
      `h` - the height
    Returns:
      `false` if the infoflags indicate that the image is completely loaded; `true` otherwise.

  - ### removeMouseWheelListener

    public void removeMouseWheelListener(MouseWheelListener l)
    Removes the specified mouse wheel listener so that it no longer receives mouse wheel events from this component. This method performs no function, nor does it throw an exception, if the listener specified by the argument was not previously added to this component. If l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

    Refer to AWT Threading Issues for details on AWT's threading model.

    Parameters:
      `l` - the mouse wheel listener.

    public void addInputMethodListener(InputMethodListener l)
    Adds the specified input method listener to receive input method events from this component. A component will only receive input method events from input methods if it also overrides `getInputMethodRequests` to return an `InputMethodRequests` instance. If listener `l` is `null`, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

    Refer to AWT Threading Issues for details on AWT's threading model.

    public InputMethodListener[] getInputMethodListeners()
    Returns an array of all the input method listeners registered on this component.
    Returns:
      all of this component's `InputMethodListener`s or an empty array if no input method listeners are currently registered

  - ### getListeners

    public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType)
    Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as `FooListener`s upon this `Component`. `FooListener`s are registered using the `addFooListener` method.

    You can specify the `listenerType` argument with a class literal, such as `FooListener.class`. For example, you can query a `Component c` for its mouse listeners with the following code:

        MouseListener[] mls = (MouseListener[])(c.getListeners(MouseListener.class));

    If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
    Type Parameters:
      `T` - the type of the listeners
    Parameters:
      `listenerType` - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from `java.util.EventListener`
    Returns:
      an array of all objects registered as `FooListener`s on this component, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
    Throws:
      `ClassCastException` - if `listenerType` doesn't specify a class or interface that implements `java.util.EventListener`
      `NullPointerException` - if `listenerType` is `null`

  - ### getInputMethodRequests

    public InputMethodRequests getInputMethodRequests()
    Gets the input method request handler which supports requests from input methods for this component. A component that supports on-the-spot text input must override this method to return an `InputMethodRequests` instance. At the same time, it also has to handle input method events.
    Returns:
      the input method request handler for this component, `null` by default
    Since:
      1.2
    See Also:
      - `addInputMethodListener(InputMethodListener)`

  - ### getInputContext

    public InputContext getInputContext()
    Gets the input context used by this component for handling the communication with input methods when text is entered in this component. By default, the input context used for the parent component is returned. Components may override this to return a private input context.
    Returns:
      the input context used by this component; `null` if no context can be determined
    Since:
      1.2

  - ### enableEvents

    protected final void enableEvents(long eventsToEnable)
    Enables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter to be delivered to this component.

    Event types are automatically enabled when a listener for that event type is added to the component.

    This method only needs to be invoked by subclasses of `Component` which desire to have the specified event types delivered to `processEvent` regardless of whether or not a listener is registered.

    Parameters:
      `eventsToEnable` - the event mask defining the event types
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `processEvent(AWTEvent)`
      - `disableEvents(long)`
      - `AWTEvent`

  - ### disableEvents

    protected final void disableEvents(long eventsToDisable)
    Disables the events defined by the specified event mask parameter from being delivered to this component.
    Parameters:
      `eventsToDisable` - the event mask defining the event types
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `enableEvents(long)`

  - ### coalesceEvents

    protected AWTEvent coalesceEvents(AWTEvent existingEvent, AWTEvent newEvent)
    Potentially coalesce an event being posted with an existing event. This method is called by `EventQueue.postEvent` if an event with the same ID as the event to be posted is found in the queue (both events must have this component as their source). This method either returns a coalesced event which replaces the existing event (and the new event is then discarded), or `null` to indicate that no combining should be done (add the second event to the end of the queue). Either event parameter may be modified and returned, as the other one is discarded unless `null` is returned.

    This implementation of `coalesceEvents` coalesces two event types: mouse move (and drag) events, and paint (and update) events. For mouse move events the last event is always returned, causing intermediate moves to be discarded. For paint events, the new event is coalesced into a complex repaint area in the peer. The new `AWTEvent` is always returned.

    Parameters:
      `existingEvent` - the event already on the `EventQueue`
      `newEvent` - the event being posted to the `EventQueue`
    Returns:
      a coalesced event, or `null` indicating that no coalescing was done

  - ### processEvent

    protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
    Processes events occurring on this component. By default this method calls the appropriate `process<event type>Event` method for the given class of event.

    Note that if the event parameter is `null` the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

    Parameters:
      `e` - the event
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `processComponentEvent(ComponentEvent)`
      - `processFocusEvent(FocusEvent)`
      - `processKeyEvent(KeyEvent)`
      - `processMouseEvent(MouseEvent)`
      - `processMouseMotionEvent(MouseEvent)`
      - `processInputMethodEvent(InputMethodEvent)`
      - `processHierarchyEvent(HierarchyEvent)`
      - `processMouseWheelEvent(MouseWheelEvent)`

  - ### processComponentEvent

    protected void processComponentEvent(ComponentEvent e)
    Processes component events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered `ComponentListener` objects.

    This method is not called unless component events are enabled for this component. Component events are enabled when one of the following occurs:

    - A `ComponentListener` object is registered via `addComponentListener`.
    - Component events are enabled via `enableEvents`.

    Note that if the event parameter is `null` the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

    Parameters:
      `e` - the component event
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `ComponentEvent`
      - `ComponentListener`
      - `addComponentListener(ComponentListener)`
      - `enableEvents(long)`

  - ### processFocusEvent

    protected void processFocusEvent(FocusEvent e)
    Processes focus events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered `FocusListener` objects.

    This method is not called unless focus events are enabled for this component. Focus events are enabled when one of the following occurs:

    - A `FocusListener` object is registered via `addFocusListener`.
    - Focus events are enabled via `enableEvents`.

    If focus events are enabled for a `Component`, the current `KeyboardFocusManager` determines whether or not a focus event should be dispatched to registered `FocusListener` objects. If the events are to be dispatched, the `KeyboardFocusManager` calls the `Component`'s `dispatchEvent` method, which results in a call to the `Component`'s `processFocusEvent` method.

    If focus events are enabled for a `Component`, calling the `Component`'s `dispatchEvent` method with a `FocusEvent` as the argument will result in a call to the `Component`'s `processFocusEvent` method regardless of the current `KeyboardFocusManager`.

    Note that if the event parameter is `null` the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

    Parameters:
      `e` - the focus event
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `FocusEvent`
      - `FocusListener`

      - `enableEvents(long)`
      - `dispatchEvent(AWTEvent)`

  - ### processKeyEvent

    protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
    Processes key events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered `KeyListener` objects.

    This method is not called unless key events are enabled for this component. Key events are enabled when one of the following occurs:

    - A `KeyListener` object is registered via `addKeyListener`.
    - Key events are enabled via `enableEvents`.

    If key events are enabled for a `Component`, the current `KeyboardFocusManager` determines whether or not a key event should be dispatched to registered `KeyListener` objects. The `DefaultKeyboardFocusManager` will not dispatch key events to a `Component` that is not the focus owner or is not showing.

    As of J2SE 1.4, `KeyEvent`s are redirected to the focus owner. Please see the Focus Specification for further information.

    Calling a `Component`'s `dispatchEvent` method with a `KeyEvent` as the argument will result in a call to the `Component`'s `processKeyEvent` method regardless of the current `KeyboardFocusManager` as long as the component is showing, focused, and enabled, and key events are enabled on it.

    If the event parameter is `null` the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

    Parameters:
      `e` - the key event
    Since:
      1.1
    See Also:
      - `KeyEvent`
      - `KeyListener`

  - ### setFocusTraversalKeys

    public void setFocusTraversalKeys(int id, Set<? extends AWTKeyStroke> keystrokes)
    Sets the focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Component.

    The default values for a Component's focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.

    Recommended default values for a Component's focus traversal keys
    Identifier | Meaning | Default
    --- | --- | ---
    KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Normal forward keyboard traversal | TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Normal reverse keyboard traversal | SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
    KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS | Go up one focus traversal cycle | none

    To disable a traversal key, use an empty Set; Collections.EMPTY_SET is recommended.

    Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Component. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.

    If a value of null is specified for the Set, this Component inherits the Set from its parent. If all ancestors of this Component have null specified for the Set, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is used.

    This method may throw a `ClassCastException` if any `Object` in `keystrokes` is not an `AWTKeyStroke`.

    Parameters:
      `id` - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
      `keystrokes` - the Set of AWTKeyStroke for the specified operation
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or if keystrokes contains null, or if any keystroke represents a KEY_TYPED event, or if any keystroke already maps to another focus traversal operation for this Component
    Since:
      1.4
    See Also:
      - `getFocusTraversalKeys(int)`
      - `KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`

      - `KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`

  - ### getFocusTraversalKeys

    public Set<AWTKeyStroke> getFocusTraversalKeys(int id)
    Returns the Set of focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation for this Component. (See `setFocusTraversalKeys` for a full description of each key.)

    If a Set of traversal keys has not been explicitly defined for this Component, then this Component's parent's Set is returned. If no Set has been explicitly defined for any of this Component's ancestors, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default Set is returned.

    Parameters:
      `id` - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
    Returns:
      the Set of AWTKeyStrokes for the specified operation. The Set will be unmodifiable, and may be empty. null will never be returned.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS

  - ### areFocusTraversalKeysSet

    public boolean areFocusTraversalKeysSet(int id)
    Returns whether the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component. If this method returns `false`, this Component is inheriting the Set from an ancestor, or from the current KeyboardFocusManager.
    Parameters:
      `id` - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
    Returns:
      `true` if the Set of focus traversal keys for the given focus traversal operation has been explicitly defined for this Component; `false` otherwise.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
    Since:
      1.4

  - ### setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled

    public void setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(boolean focusTraversalKeysEnabled)
    Sets whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component. Components for which focus traversal keys are disabled receive key events for focus traversal keys. Components for which focus traversal keys are enabled do not see these events; instead, the events are automatically converted to traversal operations.
    Parameters:
      `focusTraversalKeysEnabled` - whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component

    public boolean getFocusTraversalKeysEnabled()
    Returns whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component. Components for which focus traversal keys are disabled receive key events for focus traversal keys. Components for which focus traversal keys are enabled do not see these events; instead, the events are automatically converted to traversal operations.
    Returns:
      whether focus traversal keys are enabled for this Component

  - ### requestFocus

    public void requestFocus()
    Requests that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this Component is the focus owner until this Component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. If this request is denied because this Component's top-level Window cannot become the focused Window, the request will be remembered and will be granted when the Window is later focused by the user.

    This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no Component at all. Use `KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner()` instead.

    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use `requestFocusInWindow` when possible.

    Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other `requestFocus` methods of `Component` being invoked.

      1.0

      - `KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner()`

  - ### requestFocus

    public void requestFocus(FocusEvent.Cause cause)
    Requests by the reason of `cause` that this Component get the input focus, and that this Component's top-level ancestor become the focused Window. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this Component is the focus owner until this Component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event.

    The focus request effect may also depend on the provided cause value. If this request is succeed the `FocusEvent` generated in the result will receive the cause value specified as the argument of method. If this request is denied because this Component's top-level Window cannot become the focused Window, the request will be remembered and will be granted when the Window is later focused by the user.

    This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no Component at all. Use `KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner()` instead.

    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use `requestFocusInWindow(FocusEvent.Cause)` when possible.

    Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other `requestFocus` methods of `Component` being invoked.

    Parameters:
      `cause` - the cause why the focus is requested

  - ### requestFocus

    protected boolean requestFocus(boolean temporary)
    Requests that this `Component` get the input focus, and that this `Component`'s top-level ancestor become the focused `Window`. This component must be displayable, focusable, visible and all of its ancestors (with the exception of the top-level Window) must be visible for the request to be granted. Every effort will be made to honor the request; however, in some cases it may be impossible to do so. Developers must never assume that this component is the focus owner until this component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event. If this request is denied because this component's top-level window cannot become the focused window, the request will be remembered and will be granted when the window is later focused by the user.

    This method returns a boolean value. If `false` is returned, the request is guaranteed to fail. If `true` is returned, the request will succeed unless it is vetoed, or an extraordinary event, such as disposal of the component's peer, occurs before the request can be granted by the native windowing system. Again, while a return value of `true` indicates that the request is likely to succeed, developers must never assume that this component is the focus owner until this component receives a FOCUS_GAINED event.

    This method cannot be used to set the focus owner to no component at all. Use `KeyboardFocusManager.clearGlobalFocusOwner` instead.

    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use `requestFocusInWindow` when possible.

    Every effort will be made to ensure that `FocusEvent`s generated as a result of this request will have the specified temporary value. However, because specifying an arbitrary temporary state may not be implementable on all native windowing systems, correct behavior for this method can be guaranteed only for lightweight `Component`s. This method is not intended for general use, but exists instead as a hook for lightweight component libraries, such as Swing.

    Note: Not all focus transfers result from invoking this method. As such, a component may receive focus without this or any of the other `requestFocus` methods of `Component` being invoked.

    Parameters:
      `temporary` - true if the focus change is temporary, such as when the window loses the focus; for more information on temporary focus changes see the Focus Specification
    Returns:
      `false` if the focus change request is guaranteed to fail; `true` if it is likely to succeed

    public void removePropertyChangeListener(String propertyName, PropertyChangeListener listener)
    Removes a `PropertyChangeListener` from the listener list for a specific property. This method should be used to remove `PropertyChangeListener`s that were registered for a specific bound property.

    If `propertyName` or `listener` is `null`, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.

    Parameters:
      `propertyName` - a valid property name
      `listener` - the PropertyChangeListener to be removed

  - ### setComponentOrientation

    public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation o)
    Sets the language-sensitive orientation that is to be used to order the elements or text within this component. Language-sensitive `LayoutManager` and `Component` subclasses will use this property to determine how to lay out and draw components.

    At construction time, a component's orientation is set to `ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN`, indicating that it has not been specified explicitly. The UNKNOWN orientation behaves the same as `ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT`.

    To set the orientation of a single component, use this method. To set the orientation of an entire component hierarchy, use `applyComponentOrientation`.

    This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

    Parameters:
      `o` - the orientation to be set
    See Also:
      - `ComponentOrientation`
      - `invalidate()`

  - ### getComponentOrientation

    public ComponentOrientation getComponentOrientation()
    Retrieves the language-sensitive orientation that is to be used to order the elements or text within this component. `LayoutManager` and `Component` subclasses that wish to respect orientation should call this method to get the component's orientation before performing layout or drawing.
    Returns:
      the orientation to order the elements or text
    See Also:
      - `ComponentOrientation`

  - ### applyComponentOrientation

    public void applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation orientation)
    Sets the `ComponentOrientation` property of this component and all components contained within it.

    This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.

    Parameters:
      `orientation` - the new component orientation of this component and the components contained within it.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `orientation` is null.
    Since:
      1.4

      - `setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation)`
      - `getComponentOrientation()`
      - `invalidate()`

  - ### getAccessibleContext

    public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
    Gets the `AccessibleContext` associated with this `Component`. The method implemented by this base class returns null. Classes that extend `Component` should implement this method to return the `AccessibleContext` associated with the subclass.
    Returns:
      the `AccessibleContext` of this `Component`
    Since:
      1.3

  - ### setMixingCutoutShape

    public void setMixingCutoutShape(Shape shape)
    Sets a 'mixing-cutout' shape for this lightweight component. This method is used exclusively for the purposes of the Heavyweight/Lightweight Components Mixing feature and will have no effect if applied to a heavyweight component. By default a lightweight component is treated as an opaque rectangle for the purposes of the Heavyweight/Lightweight Components Mixing feature. This method enables developers to set an arbitrary shape to be cut out from heavyweight components positioned underneath the lightweight component in the z-order.

    The `shape` argument may have the following values:

    - `null` - reverts the default cutout shape (the rectangle equal to the component's `getBounds()`)
    - empty-shape - does not cut out anything from heavyweight components. This makes this lightweight component effectively transparent. Note that descendants of the lightweight component still affect the shapes of heavyweight components. An example of an empty-shape is `new Rectangle()`.
    - non-empty-shape - the given shape will be cut out from heavyweight components.

    The most common example when the 'mixing-cutout' shape is needed is a glass pane component. The `JRootPane.setGlassPane(Component)` method automatically sets the empty-shape as the 'mixing-cutout' shape for the given glass pane component. If a developer needs some other 'mixing-cutout' shape for the glass pane (which is rare), this must be changed manually after installing the glass pane to the root pane.

    Parameters:
      `shape` - the new 'mixing-cutout' shape
