Class InputMethodEvent
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
The text included with the input method event consists of two parts: committed text and composed text. Either part may be empty. The two parts together replace any uncommitted composed text sent in previous events, or the currently selected committed text. Committed text should be integrated into the text component's persistent data, it will not be sent again. Composed text may be sent repeatedly, with changes to reflect the user's editing operations. Committed text always precedes composed text.

INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED
The event type indicating changed input method text. This event is generated by input methods while processing input.- See Also:
-
CARET_POSITION_CHANGED
The event type indicating a changed insertion point in input method text. This event is generated by input methods while processing input if only the caret changed.- See Also:

InputMethodEvent
Constructs anInputMethodEventwith the specified source component, type, caret, and visiblePosition. The text is set tonull,committedCharacterCountto 0.The offsets of
caretandvisiblePositionare relative to the current composed text; that is, the composed text within thetextof the precedingINPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent if the event being constructed as aCARET_POSITION_CHANGEDevent. For anINPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent without text,caretandvisiblePositionmust benull. The time stamp for this event is initialized by invokingEventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime().Note that passing in an invalid
idresults in unspecified behavior. This method throws anIllegalArgumentExceptionifsourceisnull.- Parameters:

Method Details
-
getText
Gets the combined committed and composed text. Characters from index 0 to indexgetCommittedCharacterCount() - 1are committed text, the remaining characters are composed text.- Returns:
- the text. Always null for CARET_POSITION_CHANGED; may be null for INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED if there's no composed or committed text.
-
getCommittedCharacterCount
public int getCommittedCharacterCount()Gets the number of committed characters in the text.- Returns:
- the number of committed characters in the text
-
getCaret
Gets the caret.The offset of the caret is relative to the current composed text; that is, the composed text within getText() if this is an
INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent, the composed text within getText() of the precedingINPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent otherwise.- Returns:
- the caret (a.k.a. insertion point). Null if there's no caret within current composed text.
-
getVisiblePosition
Gets the position that's most important to be visible.The offset of the visible position is relative to the current composed text; that is, the composed text within getText() if this is an
INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent, the composed text within getText() of the precedingINPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGEDevent otherwise.- Returns:
- the position that's most important to be visible. Null if there's no recommendation for a visible position within current composed text.
-
consume
-
isConsumed
public boolean isConsumed()Returns whether or not this event has been consumed.- Overrides:
isConsumedin classAWTEvent- Returns:
trueif this event has been consumed; otherwisefalse- See Also:
-
getWhen
public long getWhen()Returns the time stamp of when this event occurred.- Returns:
- this event's timestamp
- Since:
- 1.4
-
paramString
Returns a parameter string identifying this event. This method is useful for event-logging and for debugging. It contains the event ID in text form, the characters of the committed and composed text separated by "+", the number of committed characters, the caret, and the visible position.- Overrides:

- a string identifying the event and its attributes
