I am working on a Java Swing application. Is it possible in any way I can listen to entire application UI?

I want track any changes in a UI should trigger a event so that I can do my required processing. Listener should not be widget/component specific.

  • Please read the tag pop-ups carefully before slapping them on a post. The [tag:windows] tag does not mean what you apparently thought it meant. – Andrew Thompson Oct 22 '14 at 06:41
  • What kind of event do you want to track ? – ortis Oct 22 '14 at 06:42

    If the GUI had all text components, it would probably be possible to make a common `DocumentListener` that could be added to all of them. What types of controls are in the app.? – Andrew Thompson Oct 22 '14 at 06:42

    You could take a look at [`Toolkit#addAWTEventListener`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#addAWTEventListener(java.awt.event.AWTEventListener,%20long)) – MadProgrammer Oct 22 '14 at 06:44
  • Thank you all for your responses. But here I am trying to listen on the swing application which is already developed. I dont have a source of that application to modify it. I want that whenever that application screens undergoes any changes(clicking of button, display of table in any frame or dialog etc) I should be able to trace those changes. – meamitjadhav Oct 27 '14 at 04:46
