Adding mouse events to shapes painted from arrays
Hi,
I currently paint shapes to a canvas from an array and want to be able to move these shapes around the screen. Unfortunately I am unsure how to set up the MouseDragged event so that it redraws only the shape I want (Currently there is no link in the paint method to the mouseDragged variables), any ideas?

li++;
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
int rx = e.getX();
int ry = e.getY();
repaint();
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
}Cheers
why is that?Because event listeners work with components, and a Shape is no Component. Besides, I don't see any method to add a listener.

Mouse event not working on JTable in JAVA 1.4.2
mouse event is not recognised on empty table when using with java 1.4.2. Please specify if there is any chnge done for mouse event capture for table from java 1.3.1 to java 1.4.2.
since mouse events are working fine for JTableHeader.
if anybody have an idea please let me know.Hi
JTable is there on JPanel . same code is working in JAVA 1.3.1
actually its a bug in java 1.4.2 ( ref. bug_id=4940522 )
here is the code reference..
public class TableEditor extends JPanel

((SelectorAction)o).check();
���}
myPopup.show(myTable, me.getX(), me.getY());
�}
// Added mouse listener to JTableHeader
// This is a temporary solution to open popup menu on blank table,
// as in Java 1.4.2 no mouse event captured on blank table.
// So for now we will capture the event from the table header.
JTableHeader myTableHeader = myTable.getTableHeader();
myTableHeader.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
�{
if ((me.getModifiers() & MouseEvent.BUTTON3_MASK) != 0)

Object o = myActions.elementAt(i);
if (o instanceof SelectorAction)
((SelectorAction)o).check();
���}
myPopup.show(me.getComponent(), me.getX(), me.getY());
� }
�});
The solution given is temporary ( adding JTableHeader component)..
we want to retain the same functionality .. mouse event should get captured on empty table only.. -
Trying to create a surface with multiple images with mouse events
novice programmer (for a applet program)
hi trying to create a surface i.e jpanel, canvas, that allows multiple images to be created.
Each object is to contain a image(icon) and a name associated with that particular image. Then each image+label has a mouse event that allows the item to be dragged around the screen.
I have tried creating own class that contains a image and string but I having problems.
I know i can create a labels with icons but having major problems adding mouse events to allow each newly created label object to moved by the users mouse?
if any one has any tips of how to acheive this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In my ActionScript code I am adding mouse event handlers for a Canvas object (actually a subclass I wrote). When I move the mouse over a child DisplayObject that was added to the Canvas, I receive all of the appropriate event handlers. However, when I move the mouse over an area where there are no children, the events stop getting dispatched to my code. I am verifying this using traces. I do receive a mouse out and mouse over events, and I also receive a single mouse move event immediately prior to receiving the mouse over/out events, but nothing further.
Does anybody know why the mouse events would stop when the mouse is directly on top of the Canvas object and not over any children?In my ActionScript code I am adding mouse event handlers for a Canvas object (actually a subclass I wrote).

How can I (neatly) control mouse click events in a multi-dimensional array?
Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):
public function tileClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var tile:Object = e.currentTarget;
tileSelect.push(uint(tile.currentFrameLabel));
selectArr.push(tile);
if (tile.select.visible == false)
tile.select.visible = true;
else
tile.select.visible = false;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < selectArr.length; i++)
if ((tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN - 1) ||
(tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN) ||
(tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN + 1))
if ((tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN - 1) ||
(tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN) ||
(tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN + 1))
trace("jackpot!" + i);
else
for (var ii:uint = 0; ii < 1; ii++)
for (var iii:uint = 0; iii < selectArr.length; iii++)
selectArr[iii].select.visible = false;
selectArr = [];
trace("Err!");Andrei1,
So are you saying that if I, rather than assigning a uint to the column and row number for each tile, just assigned a string to each one in the form "#_#" then I could actually just assign the "adjacent" array directly to it instead of using a generic object to hold those values? In this case, my click event would simply check the indexes, one at a time, of all tiles currently stored in my "selectArr" array against the column/row string in the currently selected tile. Am I correct so far? If I am then let's say that "selectArr" is currently holding five tile coordinates (the user has clicked on five adjacent tiles thus far) and a sixth one is being evaluated now:
Current "selectArr" values:
1_0
1_1, 2_1, 3_1
2_2
New tile clicked:
1_0
1_1, 2_1, 3_1
2_2
2_3
Coordinate search:
1_-1
0_0, 1_0, 2_0, 3_0
0_1, 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1
1_2, 2_2, 3_2
2_3
Essentially what is happening here is that the new tile is checking all four coordinates/indexes belonging to each of the five tiles stored in the "selectArr" array as it tries to find a match for one of its own (which it does for the tile at coordinate 2_2). Thus the new tile at coordinate 2_3 would be marked as valid and added to the "selectArr" array as we wait for the next tile to be clicked and validated. Is this correct? -
How to catch the mouse event from the JTable cell of the DefaultCellEditor
Hi, my problem is:
I have a JTable with the cells of DefaultCellEditor(JComboBox) and added the mouse listener to JTable. I can catch the mouse event from any editor cell when this cell didn't be focused. However, when I click the editor to select one JComboBox element, all the mouse events were intercepted by the editor.
So, how can I catch the mouse event in this case? In other word, even if I do the operation over the editor, I also need to catch the cursor position.
Any idea will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!Hi, bbritta,
Thanks very much for your help. Really, your code could run well, but my case is to catch the JComboBox event. So, when I change the JTextField as JComboBox, it still fail to catch the event. The following is my code. Could you give me any other suggestion?
Also, any one has a good idea for my problem? I look forward to the right solution to this problem.
Thanks.

Iocane: poison the rodent (simulate X11 mouse events from keyboard)
Iocane: the colorless, oderless, tasteless poision that will rid your system of its rodent infestation. Though no promises about its effectiveness against Rodents Of Unusual Size.
Iocane simulates mouse events from the keyboard. Iocane can be passed a few parameters which - ideally - could each have a key binding in your favorite window manager.
If iocane is called with no parameters it starts in interactive mode (which currently lacks documentation ... hey, I just wrote this this morning). In interactive mode the directional arrows or h/j/k/l keys move the mouse cursor. The number keys simulate button presses (1 = left button, 2 = middle, 3 = right). The page up and page down keys simulate mouse wheel activation. "q" quits from interactive mode returning any grabbed keys to their normal behavior. Key bindings are all controlled from a simple rc file.
Iocane can also be passed a series of commands on the command line or the filename for a script file with a list of iocane commands. Iocane can also read command from its standard input.
Iocane is conceptually similar to some functions of xdotool, but iocane should work under any window manager (or no wm at all), is much smaller, and the interactive mode allows for a sequence of many actions without the program having to start up and close down many times in rapid succession.
Please report bugs or feature requests here. Iocane is currently 127 lines of C, and it will remain small; in other words, features will only be added if the can be added without substantially increasing resource use.
EDIT: Version 0.2 is now in the AUR
Last edited by Trilby (2012-11-03 02:23:15)Any arbitrary number of buttons should be easy enough to simulate - provided the Xserver actually responds to events with that button number. An update I'll push to github tomorrow will include a few changes, including buttons 1-9, but if there is need/desire I could increase that. Sticking to 1-9 allows for the computationally cheaper hack of converting a string to a number by simple substracting 48 from the value of the first character; numbers greater than 9 would require the use of atoi() or some funky conditionals. In the grand scheme of things this is fairly trivial, but unless there is a real reason to use more than 9 mouse buttons I'd prefer to keep the lighter code.
Passing a window name and getting it's coordinates is possible but after considering it I've decided it wouldn't fit well in iocane. The reason being that to do a half-arsed job of it would be pretty easy. To do it properly, however, it would take quite a bit of scanning through recursive calls to XQueryTree, polling atoms/wmhints, matching strings, checking for subwindows in the case of reparenting window managers, and a bunch of other nonsense ... all to get two coordinates.
However iocane will play nicely with any tool that will provide those coordinates from a given window name, so I can imagine and invocation such as the following to move the mouse 10 pixels right and down from the top left of a window - lets call it FlamingSquirrel - and simulate a click there:
iocane $(cool_app FlamingSquirrel) : move 10 10 : button 1
Currently that could only be done from a command line invocation, not from a script or interactive session, as it requires shell processing for the command substitution. I can add support for this type of invocation in scripts and interactive mode as well. Then all you need to do is find (or write) a program that will give coordinates for a window given a title/name. I suspect such a program probably exists out there, or if you are comfortable with C, I could give you the starting framework for it as I made something that would have much code in common for another task on these forums (it's in jumpstart.c in the "misc" repo on my github).
In fact, you could use the following
xdotool mousemove --window FlamingSquirrel 0 0 && iocane offset 10 10 : button 1
Though if you are using xdotool anyways, I'm not sure if iocane would serve much of a purpose, unless you just prefer iocane's syntax.

Mouse events don't work on a button from a panel ran in a DLL
Hi.
I have a DLL that loads a panel.
Since it's a DLL I can't do the RunUserInterface() function, because the DLL would be stuck waiting for the panel events.
I only do the LoadPanel().
When I click with the mouse on one of the buttons, the pushing down event (simulating the button being pressed) doesn't happen and the callback doesn't run.
But if I press the tab button until the focus reaches the button and press Enter, the callback of the button is executed.
An even more interesting aspect is that this happens when I call the DLL on TestStand, but on an application of mine that calls the DLL just for debug everything works fine.
How can I enable the mouse events?
Thanks for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello Daniel,
I got surprised when I read your post, because I am experiencing something almost the same as you do.
I have a DLL (generated by an .fp instrument driver I wrote) which performs continious TCP communication with the UUT.
It starts 2 threads, each for reading from one of the 2 different IPs the UUT has.
Another DLL tests this UUT (with the help of the communication DLL above) by exporting functions to be called by TestStand steps.
If the second DLL wants to display a CVI panel in order to wait for the user response or displays a popup (MessagePopup, ConfirmPopup, etc), user cannot press the buttons.
Actually, there is a point your program and mine differ. I call RunUserInterface and the button's callbacks call QuitUserInterface, so the execution continues after a button is pressed. The problem is buttons cannot be pressed. I also tried looping on GetUserEvent but it did not solve the problem.
There are 2 findings:
1. I had a small exe to test my instrument driver DLL and the popups in it worked pretty well (this coincides with Daniel's findings).
2. We workedaround the problem by shutting down the communication threads in the instrument driver DLL before the popup appears and restrating them afterwards. Although they are separate threads in another DLL, they were somehow blocking user events on another DLL running.

Capturing mouse events from a loaded module.
I've defined a module and have it to were the mouse
coordinates (through mouse events) are updating bindable, public
variables in the module itself.
In the app parent app (that's loaded the module), i want to
display the coordinates from the loaded module as it moves around.
Like I said, I'm close, to where I capture and handle the
move event in the module itself, I just need to access that info
from the parent app, etc...
Any help is appreciated.

Disable JTree and stop it from receiving mouse events

I also tried, setEditable(false)..... the only way I can think of is to remove the mouse listener, and then when I want to re-enable the tree, I have to add it back.
is there some other way?

Mouse clicks on shapes drawn on canvas
I'm having some trouble adding a mouseListener to a shape I've drawn on a canvas.
I'm drawing a circle using g.drawOval() and then filling it in with the g.fillOval().
The thing is I want the circle to be sensitive to mouse clicks on it, I'm trying to write the classic dots and boxes game, so I can draw a line from it to the
next circle (dot) clicked.
Unfortunately, the circle is not picking up on the mouseClicked event, I'm pretty sure my dotActions class works because I used it on another class which extends JLabel and it works fine, that is when the label is clicked the program exits, but when I add it to the Dots class it doesn't pick up on any mouse events.
Here is my code, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
public class Dots extends Canvas {
public Dots(gameBoard gb, Graphics g, int x, int y, int hspace, int vspace){
g.drawOval(x, y, 10, 10);
g.fillOval(x, y, 10, 10);
dotActions da = new dotActions(this);
addMouseListener(da);
public class dotActions implements MouseListener{
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
//this is a test to see if the mouse event is picked up
System.exit(0);
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
}Create a shape and add the listener to that as well as drawing to the screen.
Or what I did was to save all the shapes and then test the mouse point to see if current mouse point was inside any. In my case I am using it to provide context sensitive help

JPanels are not reading Mouse Events
I created a basic Tic Tac Toe game, with individual "TicPanel"s inside a JPanel inside a JFrame object, however, none of the mouse events are working? Is it because the JFrame is receiving and doing nothing with the MouseEvents?
private class TicPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener
private int owner; //-1 = none, 0 = O, 1 = X
private Graphics g;
private int num;
ActionListener listener;
* Constructor
public TicPanel(int num)
this.num = num;
g = getGraphics();
owner = -1;
public void setX()
owner = 1;
g.drawLine(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
public void setO()
owner = 0;
g.drawOval(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
public int getOwner()
return owner;
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt){}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent evt){}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent evt){}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent evt){}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt)
System.out.println("works");
listener.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(this, num, ""));
setX();
public void addActionListener(ActionListener listener)
this.listener = listener;

Usually this is done with the addMouseListener(...) method.
Oh, and please read the Sun graphics tutorial as this is not the way to do graphics in Swing. You do not want to get the Graphics object via getGraphics method but instead do your painting in a paintComponent override method and get your Graphics object from the parameter passed to this method. The tutorials will explain all.

Inappropriate mouse event coordinates in the WebKit of HTMLLoader/StageWebView
Hi,
We have a desktp application which incorporates an HTMLRichTextEditor (implemented in HTML/JS and loaded into AIR).
We have run into a big problem with text selection though. It seems that the both the HTMLLoader and the StageWebView are passing wrong mouse coordinates to the WebKit when the cursor is outside of the component.
I've created a sample application which uses mx:HTML (which is a wrapper of the HTMLLoader) and a WebView class (a wrapper aroun StageWebView reference to which is given here).
The application is located here in Dropbox. The source code of the app is here.
The app was built with Flex 4.6 and ran in AIR 3.7
The sample app has a WebView which loads loremipsum and HTML loading some dummy local HTML page. The HTML page uses the JS->AIR bridge to report the mouseevents to a function in AIR. In the snapshot below the selection was started from the first row and then slowly continued to the left. As soon as it reaches the green area the selection changes unexpectably. As it can be seen in the bottom right -> the WebKit has received a mouse event with incorrect coordinates. The reported mouse coordinates seem to be the mouse coordinates within the green component and the selection behaves like that. If the mouse is moved to the blue - the selection changes again (according to the coordinates in the blue area).
The component which uses the StageWebView behaves in absolutely the same way.
I'd assume that I have to post a bug but I decided to post here at first.
I've tried a few workarounds in order to stop and ongoing selection or to change it's behaviour but none of them with any relevant success. Even disabling mouse children for the entire application has no effect on the selection once it's started.
Any help and/or comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks !Thank you for the heads up. Do you know if this is a recent change in behavior with AIR (ie. does this occur in previous versions)? Regardless, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?
Once added, please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes and I can follow up internally.
