<body style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div>I’m looking for general feedback/advice.</div><div><br /></div>Is there any reason not to put the following method in a Component?<div><br /></div><div>@Override</div><div>protected AWTEvent coalesceEvents(AWTEvent existingEvent, AWTEvent newEvent) {</div><div> if (newEvent.getID() == ComponentEvent.COMPONENT_RESIZED)</div><div> return newEvent;</div><div> return super.coalesceEvents(existingEvent, newEvent);</div><div>}</div><div><br /></div><div>(That is: is this unsafe/unwise for some reason I’m not considering?)</div><div><br /></div><div>As I understand it: when you resize a window every call to component#setBounds(..) generates a new ComponentEvent and posts it to the event queue. So suppose you resized a window so its height was 10, then 11, then 12, then 13, then 14: that would create 5 ComponentEvents and post them to the event queue.</div><div><br /></div><div>So suppose you also have this listener:</div><div><br /></div><div>myComponent.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {</div><div> public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {</div><div> System.out.println(e.getComponent().getHeight());</div><div> }</div><div>});</div><div><br /></div><div>Your output in this scenario may be 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 if you have a very responsive EDT. But it could also be 14, 14, 14, 14, 14. The only guarantee is that the last printed height of the 5 ComponentEvents will be 14.</div><div><br /></div><div>So if the ComponentEvents come in all at once: there’s no harm in coalescing them, right? (So now you may get anywhere from 1 to 5 ComponentEvents, but each call to e.getComponent().getSize() will produce a different result.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Regards,</div><div> - Jeremy</div></body></html>
