/**
 * An event which indicates a change to the <code>Component
 * hierarchy to which <code>Component belongs.
 * <ul>
 * <li>Hierarchy Change Events (HierarchyListener)
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> addition of an ancestor
 *     <li> removal of an ancestor
 *     <li> hierarchy made displayable
 *     <li> hierarchy made undisplayable
 *     <li> hierarchy shown on the screen (both visible and displayable)
 *     <li> hierarchy hidden on the screen (either invisible or undisplayable)
 *     </ul>
 * <li>Ancestor Reshape Events (HierarchyBoundsListener)
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> an ancestor was resized
 *     <li> an ancestor was moved
 *     </ul>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Hierarchy events are provided for notification purposes ONLY.
 * The AWT will automatically handle changes to the hierarchy internally so
 * that GUI layout and displayability works properly regardless of whether a
 * program is receiving these events or not.
 * <p>
 * This event is generated by a Container object (such as a Panel) when the
 * Container is added, removed, moved, or resized, and passed down the
 * hierarchy. It is also generated by a Component object when that object's
 * <code>addNotify, removeNotify, show, or
 * <code>hide method is called. The {@code ANCESTOR_MOVED} and
 * {@code ANCESTOR_RESIZED}
 * events are dispatched to every <code>HierarchyBoundsListener or
 * <code>HierarchyBoundsAdapter object which registered to receive
 * such events using the Component's <code>addHierarchyBoundsListener
 * method. (<code>HierarchyBoundsAdapter objects implement the 
 * HierarchyBoundsListener</code> interface.) The {@code HIERARCHY_CHANGED} events are
 * dispatched to every <code>HierarchyListener object which registered
 * to receive such events using the Component's <code>addHierarchyListener
 * </code> method. Each such listener object gets this HierarchyEvent
 * </code> when the event occurs.
 * <p>
 * An unspecified behavior will be caused if the {@code id} parameter
 * of any particular {@code HierarchyEvent} instance is not
 * in the range from {@code HIERARCHY_FIRST} to {@code HIERARCHY_LAST}.
 * <br>
 * The {@code changeFlags} parameter of any {@code HierarchyEvent} instance takes one of the following
 * values:
 * <ul>
 * <li> {@code HierarchyEvent.PARENT_CHANGED}
 * <li> {@code HierarchyEvent.DISPLAYABILITY_CHANGED}
 * <li> {@code HierarchyEvent.SHOWING_CHANGED}
 * </ul>
 * Assigning the value different from listed above will cause unspecified behavior.
