UIEvent
TheUIEvent interface represents simple user interface events. It is part of theUI Events API, which includes various event types and interfaces related to user interactions.
UIEvent derives fromEvent. Although theUIEvent.initUIEvent() method is kept for backward compatibility, you should create aUIEvent object using theUIEvent() constructor.
Several interfaces are direct or indirect descendants of this one:MouseEvent,TouchEvent,FocusEvent,KeyboardEvent,WheelEvent,InputEvent, andCompositionEvent.
