How to listen componentShown/componentHidden events better than ComponentListener?

Question

I want to be informed if componentShown/componentHidden event occured. I use ComponentListener, but it doesn't work as good as I need. I have found this information in official Swing tutorial:

The component-hidden and component-shown events occur only as the result of calls to a Component 's setVisible method. For example, a window might be miniaturized into an icon (iconified) without a component-hidden event being fired.

So I supose I have to find another solution. So how to listen every componentShown/componentHidden event?

Answer 1

I don't think you will be able to do this with a single listener.

You can also use a WindowListener to listen for windowIconified.
