public class ComponentEvent extends AWTEvent
Component events are provided for notification purposes ONLY; The AWT will automatically handle component moves and resizes internally so that GUI layout works properly regardless of whether a program is receiving these events or not.
In addition to serving as the base class for other component-related events (InputEvent, FocusEvent, WindowEvent, ContainerEvent), this class defines the events that indicate changes in a component's size, position, or visibility.
 This low-level event is generated by a component object (such as a
 List) when the component is moved, resized, rendered invisible, or made
 visible again. The event is passed to every ComponentListener
 or ComponentAdapter object which registered to receive such
 events using the component's addComponentListener method.
 (ComponentAdapter objects implement the
 ComponentListener interface.) Each such listener object
 gets this ComponentEvent when the event occurs.
 
 An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter
 of any particular ComponentEvent instance is not
 in the range from COMPONENT_FIRST to COMPONENT_LAST.
