This method works the same as org.w3c.dom.events.Document.createEvent(String)
, in this case the event object created is ready to be dispatched to the remote event listeners registered calling:
EventTarget.dispatchEvent(Event)
: this method detects whether the submitted event was created by this factory method then redirects to {@link #dispatchEvent(EventTarget,Event)}. eventType
parameter specifies thetype of Event
interface to be created.
@return the {@link Event} object created
eventType
parameter specifies the type of Event
interface to be created. If the Event
interface specified is supported by the implementation this method will return a new Event
of the interface type requested. If the Event
is to be dispatched via the dispatchEvent
method the appropriate event init method must be called after creation in order to initialize the Event
's values. As an example, a user wishing to synthesize some kind of UIEvent
would call createEvent
with the parameter "UIEvents". The initUIEvent
method could then be called on the newly created UIEvent
to set the specific type of UIEvent to be dispatched and set its context information. The createEvent
method is used in creating Event
s when it is either inconvenient or unnecessary for the user to create an Event
themselves. In cases where the implementation provided Event
is insufficient, users may supply their own Event
implementations for use with the dispatchEvent
method.
@return The newly created Event
@exception DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the type of Event
interface requested
