Class PaintEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class PaintEvent extends ComponentEvent
The component-level paint event. This event is a special type which is used to ensure that paint/update method calls are serialized along with the other events delivered from the event queue. This event is not designed to be used with the Event Listener model; programs should continue to override paint/update methods in order render themselves properly.

An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter of any particular PaintEvent instance is not in the range from PAINT_FIRST to PAINT_LAST.

Since:
1.1
