32 * A low-level event which indicates that a container's contents
33 * changed because a component was added or removed.
34 * <P>
35 * Container events are provided for notification purposes ONLY;
36 * The AWT will automatically handle changes to the containers
37 * contents internally so that the program works properly regardless of
38 * whether the program is receiving these events or not.
39 * <P>
40 * This low-level event is generated by a container object (such as a
41 * Panel) when a component is added to it or removed from it.
42 * The event is passed to every <code>ContainerListener</code>
43 * or <code>ContainerAdapter</code> object which registered to receive such
44 * events using the component's <code>addContainerListener</code> method.
45 * (<code>ContainerAdapter</code> objects implement the
46 * <code>ContainerListener</code> interface.) Each such listener object
47 * gets this <code>ContainerEvent</code> when the event occurs.
48 * <p>
49 * An unspecified behavior will be caused if the {@code id} parameter
50 * of any particular {@code ContainerEvent} instance is not
51 * in the range from {@code CONTAINER_FIRST} to {@code CONTAINER_LAST}.
52 *
