コンポーネントの種類によって発生するイベントとそれを受け取るリスナーが違います． したがって，作成するプログラムにどのようなコンポーネントが必要かを考え，それに応じたリスナーを設定したプログラムを作らなければなりません．

以下にその対応の一覧を示しておきます．

次のリスナーは，全ての種類のコンポーネントに対して有効となります．

Listener	説明
ComponentListener	コンポーネントの大きさ，位置，見え方が変わったことを受け取る
Focus Listener	コンポーネントが入力可能かどうかを受け取る
KeyListener	キーが押されたことを受け取る
MouseListener	マウスボタンの押し，離し，クリックとマウスカーソルの窓の中への出入りを受け取る
MouseMotionListener	マウスカーソルの位置の変化を受け取る
MouseWheelListener	マウスホイールの動きを受け取る
HierarchyListener	コンポーネントの変更による重なりの変化を受け取る
HierarchyBoundsListener	コンポーネントの移動やサイズ変更による重なりの変化を受け取る

次の一覧は，コンポーネントの種類毎に設定できるリスナーの一覧です．

リスナーがイベントを受け取った後，プログラムがそれに対してどのような処理をするのかを記述しなければなりません． 各種のリスナーに対応するメソッドの一覧を示します．
