/**
 * The root event class for all component-level input events.
 *
 * Input events are delivered to listeners before they are
 * processed normally by the source where they originated.
 * This allows listeners and component subclasses to "consume"
 * the event so that the source will not process them in their
 * default manner.  For example, consuming mousePressed events
 * on a Button component will prevent the Button from being
 * activated.

     * <PRE>

     * <PRE>
     *    int onmask = SHIFT_DOWN_MASK | BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK;
