This interface defines the method that an object must implement to "listen" for item events on AWT components. When an ItemEvent occurs, an AWT component notifies its registered ItemListener objects by invoking their itemStateChanged() methods.

public abstract interface ItemListener extends EventListener {

            public abstract void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e);
