  - ### getView

    AbstractView getView()
    The `view` attribute identifies the `AbstractView` from which the event was generated.

  - ### getDetail

    int getDetail()
    Specifies some detail information about the `Event`, depending on the type of event.

  - ### initUIEvent

    void initUIEvent(String typeArg, boolean canBubbleArg, boolean cancelableArg, AbstractView viewArg, int detailArg)
    The `initUIEvent` method is used to initialize the value of a `UIEvent` created through the `DocumentEvent` interface. This method may only be called before the `UIEvent` has been dispatched via the `dispatchEvent` method, though it may be called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times, the final invocation takes precedence.
    Parameters:
      `typeArg` - Specifies the event type.
      `canBubbleArg` - Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
      `cancelableArg` - Specifies whether or not the event's default action can be prevented.
      `viewArg` - Specifies the `Event`'s `AbstractView`.
      `detailArg` - Specifies the `Event`'s detail.
