public void addAWTEventListener(AWTEventListener listener,
                                long eventMask)

Adds an AWTEventListener to this toolkit. This listener is informed about all events that pass the eventqueue that match the specified evenMask. The eventMask is an ORed combination of event masks as defined in AWTEvent. If a security manager is installed, it is asked first if an AWTPermission("listenToAllAWTEvents") is allowed. This may result in a SecurityException beeing thrown. It is not recommended to use this kind of notification for normal applications. It is intended solely for the purpose of debugging and to support special facilities.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to add

eventMask - the event mask of event types which the listener is interested in

Throws:

SecurityException - if there is a SecurityManager that doesn't grant AWTPermission("listenToAllAWTEvents")

Since:

1.2

public final EventQueue getSystemEventQueue()

Returns the event queue that is suitable for the calling context.

Despite the word “System” in the name of this method, a toolkit may provide different event queues for each applet. There is no guarantee that the same queue is shared system-wide.

The implementation first checks whether a SecurityManager has been installed. If so, its SecurityManager.checkAwtEventQueueAccess() method gets called. The security manager will throw a SecurityException if it does not grant the permission to access the event queue.

Next, the call is delegated to getSystemEventQueueImpl().

Returns:

The event queue for this applet (or application).

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager has been installed, and it does not grant the permission to access the event queue.

protected abstract EventQueue getSystemEventQueueImpl()

Returns the event queue that is suitable for the calling context.

Despite the word “System” in the name of this method, a toolkit may provide different event queues for each applet. There is no guarantee that the same queue is shared system-wide.

No security checks are performed, which is why this method may only be called by Toolkits.

getSystemEventQueue()

public Clipboard getSystemSelection()

Gets the singleton instance of the system selection as a Clipboard object. The system selection contains the selected text of the last component/widget that had focus and a text selection. The default implementation returns null.

Returns:

The Clipboard holding the system (text) selection or null if the Toolkit or system doesn't support a selection clipboard.

Throws:

HeadlessException - If GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() is true.

SecurityException - If the current security manager checkSystemClipboardAccess() doesn't allow access.

public void removeAWTEventListener(AWTEventListener listener)

Removes an AWT event listener from this toolkit. This listener is no longer informed of any event types it was registered in. If a security manager is installed, it is asked first if an AWTPermission("listenToAllAWTEvents") is allowed. This may result in a SecurityException beeing thrown. It is not recommended to use this kind of notification for normal applications. It is intended solely for the purpose of debugging and to support special facilities.

Parameters:
