/**
* The listener interface for receiving window events.
* The class that is interested in processing a window event
* either implements this interface (and all the methods it
* contains) or extends the abstract <code>WindowAdapter</code> class
* (overriding only the methods of interest).
* The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
* Window using the window's <code>addWindowListener</code>
* method. When the window's status changes by virtue of being opened,
* closed, activated or deactivated, iconified or deiconified,
* the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and the
* <code>WindowEvent</code> is passed to it.
