 public AWTEvent(Event event) 
{
        this(event.target, event.id);
}

Constructs an AWTEvent object from the parameters of a 1.0-style event.

Parameters:

event - the old-style event

 public AWTEvent(Object source,
    int id) 
{
        super(source);
        this.id = id;
        switch(id) {
          case ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED:
          case ItemEvent.ITEM_STATE_CHANGED:

            consumed = true;
            break;
          default:
        }
}

Constructs an AWTEvent object with the specified source object and type.

Parameters:

source - the object where the event originated

id - the event type

Converts a new event to an old one (used for compatibility). If the new event cannot be converted (because no old equivalent exists) then this returns null. Note: this method is here instead of in each individual new event class in java.awt.event because we don't want to make it public and it needs to be called from java.awt.

  void copyPrivateDataInto(AWTEvent that) 
{
        that.bdata = this.bdata;
        // Copy canAccessSystemClipboard value from this into that.
        if (this instanceof InputEvent && that instanceof InputEvent) {
            Field field = get_InputEvent_CanAccessSystemClipboard();
            if (field != null) {
                try {
                    boolean b = field.getBoolean(this);
                    field.setBoolean(that, b);
                } catch(IllegalAccessException e) {

            }
        }
        that.isSystemGenerated = this.isSystemGenerated;
}

Copies all private data from this event into that. Space is allocated for the copied data that will be freed when the that is finalized. Upon completion, this event is not changed.

  void dispatched() 
{
        if (this instanceof InputEvent) {

 public int getID() 
{
        return id;
}

Returns the event type.

 protected boolean isConsumed() 
{
        return consumed;
}

Returns whether this event has been consumed.

 public String paramString() 
{
        return "";
}

Returns a string representing the state of this Event. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

                }
            }
        }
}

Retargets an event to a new source. This method is typically used to retarget an event to a lightweight child Component of the original heavyweight source.

This method is intended to be used only by event targeting subsystems, such as client-defined KeyboardFocusManagers. It is not for general client use.

 public String toString() 
{
        String srcName = null;
        if (source instanceof Component) {
            srcName = ((Component)source).getName();

            srcName = ((MenuComponent)source).getName();
        }
        return getClass().getName() + "[" + paramString() + "] on " +
            (srcName != null? srcName : source);
}

Returns a String representation of this object.
