# ContainerAdapter

## Name

ContainerAdapter

##

## Description

The `ContainerAdapter` class implements the methods of `ContainerListener` with empty functions. It may be easier for you to extend `ContainerAdapter`, overriding only those methods you are interested in, than to implement `ContainerListener` and provide the empty functions yourself.

## Class Definition

    public abstract class java.awt.event.ContainerAdapter
       extends java.lang.Object
       implements java.awt.event.ContainerListener {
      // Instance Methods
      public void componentAdded (ContainerEvent e);
      public void componentRemoved (ContainerEvent e);
    }

## Instance Methods
