public class ItemEvent

extends AWTEvent

A semantic event which indicates that an item was selected or deselected. This high-level event is generated by an ItemSelectable object (such as a List) when an item is selected or deselected by the user. The event is passed to every ItemListener object which registered to receive such events using the component's addItemListener method.

The object that implements the ItemListener interface gets this ItemEvent when the event occurs. The listener is spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and mouse clicks, and can instead process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "item selected" or "item deselected".
