# Class PaintEvent

java.lang.Object
java.util.EventObject
java.awt.AWTEvent
java.awt.event.ComponentEvent
java.awt.event.PaintEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class PaintEvent extends ComponentEvent
The component-level paint event. This event is a special type which is used to ensure that paint/update method calls are serialized along with the other events delivered from the event queue. This event is not designed to be used with the Event Listener model; programs should continue to override paint/update methods in order render themselves properly.

An unspecified behavior will be caused if the `id` parameter of any particular `PaintEvent` instance is not in the range from `PAINT_FIRST` to `PAINT_LAST`.

Since:
  1.1
