Hi,

The Events are the integral part of the java platform. Sometimes we want one object to perform shorten work and this task as soon as something special happens in another object. In Java programming we have to write an applet so it will responds user inputs, and introduces us to AWT event handling.

For Details about Event Handling in Java.

Thanks,

An event generally occurs when something changes within a graphical user interface. If a user clicks on a button, clicks on a combo box, or types characters into a text field, etc.. then an event will trigger.
