ComponentListener Example
Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > SWING > com >
tutorialspoint > gui >

SwingListenerDemo.java
package com.tutorialspoint.gui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SwingListenerDemo {


private JFrame mainFrame;
private JLabel headerLabel;
private JLabel statusLabel;
private JPanel controlPanel;

public SwingListenerDemo(){
prepareGUI();
}
public static void main(String[] args){
SwingListenerDemo swingListenerDemo = new SwingListenerDemo();
swingListenerDemo.showComponentListenerDemo();
}
private void prepareGUI(){
mainFrame = new JFrame("Java SWING Examples");
mainFrame.setSize(400,400);
mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));

headerLabel = new JLabel("",JLabel.CENTER );


statusLabel = new JLabel("",JLabel.CENTER);
statusLabel.setSize(350,100);

mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
System.exit(0);
}
});
controlPanel = new JPanel();
controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

mainFrame.add(headerLabel);
mainFrame.add(controlPanel);
mainFrame.add(statusLabel);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}
private void showComponentListenerDemo(){
headerLabel.setText("Listener in action: ComponentListener");

JPanel panel = new JPanel();


panel.setBackground(Color.magenta);

JLabel msglabel =
new JLabel("Welcome to TutorialsPoint SWING Tutorial.",JLabel.CENTER)
panel.add(msglabel);

msglabel.addComponentListener(new CustomComponentListener());
controlPanel.add(panel);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}
class CustomComponentListener implements ComponentListener {
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText(statusLabel.getText()
+ e.getComponent().getClass().getSimpleName() + " resized. ");
}
public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText(statusLabel.getText()
+ e.getComponent().getClass().getSimpleName() + " moved. ");
}
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText(statusLabel.getText()
+ e.getComponent().getClass().getSimpleName() + " shown. ");
}
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText(statusLabel.getText()
+ e.getComponent().getClass().getSimpleName() + " hidden. ");
}
}
}

Compile the program using the command prompt. Go to D:/ > SWING and type the following command.

D:\SWING>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\SwingListenerDemo.java

If no error occurs, it means the compilation is successful. Run the program using the following
command.

D:\SWING>java com.tutorialspoint.gui.SwingListenerDemo

Verify the following output.
