EVENT HANDLING

What is the highest-level event class of the event-delegation model?

Ans : The java.util.eventObject class is the highest-level class in the event-delegation hierarchy.

What interface is extended by AWT event listeners?

Ans : All AWT event listeners extend the java.util.EventListener interface.

What class is the top of the AWT event hierarchy?

Ans : The java.awt.AWTEvent class is the highest-level class in the AWT event class hierarchy.

What event results from the clicking of a button?

Ans : The ActionEvent event is generated as the result of the clicking of a button.

What is the relationship between an event-listener interface and an event-adapter class?

Ans : An event-listener interface defines the methods that must be implemented by an event
handler for a particular kind of event.

An event adapter provides a default implementation of an event-listener interface.

In which package are most of the AWT events that support the event-delegation model defined?

Ans : Most of the AWT–related events of the event-delegation model are defined in the

java.awt.event package. The AWTEvent class is defined in the java.awt package.

What is the advantage of the event-delegation model over the earlier event-inheritance model?

Ans : The event-delegation has two advantages over the event-inheritance model. They are :

It enables event handling by objects other than the ones that generate the events. This

allows a clean separation between a component’s design and its use.

It performs much better in applications where many events are generated. This

performance improvement is due to the fact that the event-delegation model does not

have to repeatedly process unhandled events, as is the case of the event-inheritance

model.

What is the purpose of the enableEvents( ) method?

Ans :The enableEvents( ) method is used to enable an event for a particular object.

Which of the following are true?

The event-inheritance model has replaced the event-delegation model.

The event-inheritance model is more efficient than the event-delegation model.

The event-delegation model uses event listeners to define the methods of event-handling classes.

The event-delegation model uses the handleEvent( ) method to support event handling.

Ans : c.

Which of the following is the highest class in the event-delegation model?

java.util.EventListener

java.util.EventObject

java.awt.AWTEvent

java.awt.event.AWTEvent
Ans : b.

When two or more objects are added as listeners for the same event, which listener is first invoked to

handle the event?

The first object that was added as listener.

The last object that was added as listener.

AWT: CONTROLS, LAYOUT MANAGERS AND MENUS

What is meant by Controls and what are different types of controls?

Ans : Controls are componenets that allow a user to interact with your application.

The AWT supports the following types of controls:

Labels

Push buttons

Check boxes

Choice lists

Lists

Scroll bars

Text components

These controls are subclasses of Component.

You want to construct a text area that is 80 character-widths wide and 10 character-heights tall. What
code do you use?

new TextArea(80, 10)

new TextArea(10, 80)

Ans: b.

A text field has a variable-width font. It is constructed by calling new

TextField("iiiii"). What happens if you change the contents of the text field to

"wwwww"? (Bear in mind that is one of the narrowest characters, and w is one of the widest.)

The text field becomes wider.

The text field becomes narrower.

The text field stays the same width; to see the entire contents you will have to scroll by using the ß and

à keys.

The text field stays the same width; to see the entire contents you will have to scroll by using the text

field’s horizontal scroll bar.

In case of exclusive Checkboxes, only one among a group of items can be selected at a time. I f an item

from the group is selected, the checkbox currently checked is deselected and the new selection is
highlighted. The exclusive Checkboxes are also called as Radio buttons.

The non-exclusive checkboxes are not grouped together and each one can be selected independent of

the other.

35) What is a Layout Manager and what are the different Layout Managers available in java.awt and

what is the default Layout manager for the panal and the panal subclasses?

Ans : No. Adding a component to a container automatically removes it from any previous

parent(container).

38) How do I specify where a window is to be placed?

Ans : Use setBounds, setSize, or setLocation methods to implement this.

setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height)

setBounds(Rectangle r)

setSize(int width, int height)

setSize(Dimension d)

setLocation(int x, int y)

setLocation(Point p)

39) How can we create a borderless window?

fashion.

BorderLayout : The elements of a BorderLayout are organized at the

borders (North, South, East and West) and the center of a

container.

CardLayout : The elements of a CardLayout are stacked, one on top of the other, like a deck of cards.

GridLayout : The elements of a GridLayout are of equal size and are laid out using the square of a grid.

GridBagLayout : The elements of a GridBagLayout are organized according to a grid.However, the

elements are of different sizes and may occupy

more than one row or column of the grid. In addition, the rows and columns may have different sizes.
