## Interface ComponentListener

- All Superinterfaces:
    `EventListener`
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `AWTEventMulticaster`, `BasicInternalFrameUI.ComponentHandler`, `BasicSliderUI.ComponentHandler`, `BasicTreeUI.ComponentHandler`, `Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.AccessibleAWTComponentHandler`, `ComponentAdapter`, `JViewport.ViewListener`

      public interface ComponentListener
      extends EventListener

  The listener interface for receiving component events. The class that is interested in processing a component event either implements this interface (and all the methods it contains) or extends the abstract `ComponentAdapter` class (overriding only the methods of interest). The listener object created from that class is then registered with a component using the component's `addComponentListener` method. When the component's size, location, or visibility changes, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and the `ComponentEvent` is passed to it.

  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 registers a `ComponentListener` or not.
