AWT - catching click button event

[Java Tip]

Presented below is an example for catching button click event in AWT.

Code:

public class TestEvent extends Applet implements ActionListener {
   Button b2, b1;
   TextField t1;

   public void init() {
     setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     t1 = new TextField(30);
     b1 = new Button("Output");
     add(b1); add(t1);
     b2 = new Button("Fire event 1st button");
     add(b2);

     b1.addActionListener(this);
     b2.addActionListener(this);

     }

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     if (e.getSource() == b1) {
       t1.setText("1st button clicked");
       }
     if (e.getSource() == b2) {
       //  from the b2 button, we creating an event to trigger a click
       //  on the b1 button
       ActionEvent ae = 
          new ActionEvent((Object)b1, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, "");
       Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(ae);
       // b1.dispatchEvent(ae);  can be used too.
       }
     }
}
