A semantic event which indicates that a component-defined action occurred. This high-level event is generated by a component (such as a Button) when the component-specific action occurs (such as being pressed). The event is passed to every ActionListener object that registered to receive such events using the component's addActionListener method.
Note: To invoke an ActionEvent on a Button using the keyboard, use the Space bar.
The object that implements the ActionListener interface gets this ActionEvent when the event occurs. The listener is therefore spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and mouse clicks, and can instead process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like "button pressed".
An unspecified behavior will be caused if the id parameter of any particular ActionEvent instance is not in the range from ACTION_FIRST to ACTION_LAST.

Constructor.
Constructs an ActionEvent object with the specified modifier keys and timestamp.
This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null. A null command string is legal, but not recommended.
source - The object that originated the event - java.lang.Object
id - An integer that identifies the event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for ActionEvent - int
command - A string that may specify a command (possibly one of several) associated with the event - java.lang.String
when - A long that gives the time the event occurred. Passing negative or zero value is not recommended - long
modifiers - The modifier keys down during event (shift, ctrl, alt, meta). Passing negative parameter is not recommended. Zero value means that no modifiers were passed - int
throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
Constructor. Constructs an ActionEvent object with the specified modifier keys and timestamp. This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if source is null. A null command string is legal, but not recommended. source - The object that originated the event - `java.lang.Object` id - An integer that identifies the event. For information on allowable values, see the class description for ActionEvent - `int` command - A string that may specify a command (possibly one of several) associated with the event - `java.lang.String` when - A long that gives the time the event occurred. Passing negative or zero value is not recommended - `long` modifiers - The modifier keys down during event (shift, ctrl, alt, meta). Passing negative parameter is not recommended. Zero value means that no modifiers were passed - `int` throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if source is null
(get-action-command this)
Returns the command string associated with this action. This string allows a "modal" component to specify one of several commands, depending on its state. For example, a single button might toggle between "show details" and "hide details". The source object and the event would be the same in each case, but the command string would identify the intended action.
Note that if a null command string was passed to the constructor for this ActionEvent, this this method returns null.
returns: the string identifying the command for this event - java.lang.String

(get-modifiers this)
Returns the modifier keys held down during this action event.
returns: the bitwise-or of the modifier constants - int
Returns the modifier keys held down during this action event. returns: the bitwise-or of the modifier constants - `int`
(get-when this)
Returns the timestamp of when this event occurred. Because an ActionEvent is a high-level, semantic event, the timestamp is typically the same as an underlying InputEvent.
returns: this event's timestamp - long

(param-string this)
Returns a parameter string identifying this action event. This method is useful for event-logging and for debugging.
