public class InvocationEvent

extends AWTEvent

implements ActiveEvent

An event which executes the run() method on a Runnable when dispatched by the AWT event dispatcher thread. This class can be used as a reference implementation of ActiveEvent rather than declaring a new class and defining dispatch().

Instances of this class are placed on the EventQueue by calls to invokeLater and invokeAndWait. Client code can use this fact to write replacement functions for invokeLater and invokeAndWait without writing special-case code in any AWTEventListener objects.

Since:

1.2
