Event model

Event model

The event model is a programming paradigm commonly used in building graphical user interfaces. A very common and very "programmer-friendly" variant is the "delegate event model", which is provided by the most popular graphic frameworks.

Delegate event model

This model is based on three entities:
* a control, which is the event source
* consumers, also called listeners, that receive the events from the source
* interfaces (in the broader meaning of the term) that describe the protocol by which every event is to be communicated

Furthermore the model requires that:
* every listener must implement the interface for the event it wants to listen to
* every listener must register with the source, to declare its desire to listen to some particular event
* every time the source generates an event, it communicates it to the registered listeners, following the protocol of the interface
