Capture mouse in a component

May I capture the mouse in a window?
In a simple application, I want to capture the mouse in the window. That is, when I move the mouse, there are no MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED, but MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAGGED. So I can get the position of the mouse even the mouse position is out of the window. Just like when we press the leftbutton and move it (in this case, you may find you can get the events of the mouse even in the window even the mouse 's position is out of the window )
In Windows system, the function is SetCapture and ReleaseCapture
But in Javva, how can I do it?

I don't think there is a way to set capture. You just have to look for MouseEvent. MOUSE_DRAGGED which will be sent when you start dragging.

    Mouse Events may only be capture INSIDE the java application frame. SO, if your desktop is not a java component, you will not be able to capture the events.
    However, you could maybe use JNI to use native methods so as to get the location of the mouse...

  • How can I capture mouse click events on BSP or Web Dynpro ABAP Screen

    hi Guys,
    Currently we have a user inactivity problem,
    the requirement is: if user is clicking on BSP/Web Dynpro ABAP screen, he/she is considered active. so we need an mechanism to capture the mouse click event.
    Using Firebug, we found that this js is in the iframe which contains BSP/web dynpro scrren: /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
    we want to find this js file & put in some javascript code to track user's mouse click, but i cannot find it on server.
    while in ie if we type http://host:port/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
    this file can be downloaded, means this file is there.
    Any one can help on this issue? find the js file or another way to capture the mouse click event.
    Thanks a lot with points!

    Hi  Feng Guo,
                        We can not capture mouse click events on Web Dynpro ABAP Screen . I am not sure about BSP. But as for as I know the portal keep active the iViews until unless mouse clicks happens.
    But for your problem I think you can get solution by setting iView Expiration to some more time period.

  • How do you Capture Mouse?

    I'm new at Flex and trying to make a graphics editor for which I need the user to be able to resize the graphs the same way most graphics editors do - with a resize box. So what I'm making now is a class (that extends UIComponent) that have 4 little squares (that extend UIComponent too) at the corners that the user should use as handles to resize something. So I all need to do right now is to make them react properly to mouse inputs: the one at the top right should have the same "x" position as the one at the bottom right if the user is moving the bottom right one and so on. What I do is call startDrag in the MOUSE_DOWN event for each square and then in the MOUSE_MOVE event I move the others squares accordingly. The problem is that the square being dragged moves faster than all the others. If I could just capture mouse and then do all the dragging stuff myself that would make it a lot easier. But it seems that they didn't implement that function so, does anyone know any other possible way to do what I'm trying to do?

    Solved my problem. Here's the code in case is useful for anyone:
    // Make an event listener like this for every mouse event
    public function OnMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
         if(event.target is DisplayObject){
              if(!MouseOwner.contains(DisplayObject(event.target))) event.stopPropagation();
         else event.stopPropagation();
    public function CaptureMouse(Element:DisplayObjectContainer):void
        this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, OnMouseDown, true);
        // Keep adding listeners for every mouse event
        MouseOwner = Element;

  • Capturing Mouse Click Event Outside a Canvas/Component

    Hello Guys

    I solved it using focusout method from my component;s textinput but your method is also good and will help me in later stages.

  • HTML/JS: Capturing mouse events while Air is out of focus

    Hi,
    I've been trying to determine if it is possible to receive mouse events (like MOUSE_WHEEL) if the Air window does not currently have focus. I'd like my application to support the mouse wheel for scrolling while the cursor is over the application, without requiring the user to click the application and gain focus. My application uses JavaScript to scroll an unordered list within a DIV set to overflow:hidden (to prevent the native scrollbar from appearing).
    Thanks for your help!
    Andrew

    I doubt that AIR would pick up events fired while not having focus. Perhaps you could fake it by creating an AIR project that runs "fullscreen", but has a smaller active window. Anywhere your mouse went it would still capture the scrolling event, but you could conditionalize it so that it only worked in certain areas.

  • Capturing mouse movement to define an animation path?

    Hi All,
    Does there exist a plugin for flash that would allow me to
    define animations by capturing my mouse movements? I'd like to be
    able to rough in my animation timing by selecting an object, then
    dragging it around the screen at will while the software captures
    the path of motion along with the timing of it. This would allow me
    to keyframe a rough animation sequence really quickly because the
    computer clock and my hand motion defines the placement of the
    various keyframes. Is anything like this possible right now?
    Thanks

    i dont think so.. but why dont you use the pencil tool and
    draw on the stage, make that layer a guide layer, the shorten the
    distances of keyframes for your animation so it looks like it's
    speeding up, widen them to look like its slowing down

  • How to capturing Mouse double click action?

    Hi all,
    how can we identify the "mouse double click" action?
    MouseListener has methods for only mousePressed,released,clicked (single).
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards
    Sojan

    Hi,
    Thanks it worked ..
    e.getClickCount() value increases if we keep on clicking on the component, is there anythning wrong by interpreting double click as
    "e.getClickCount() >=2 "?

  • Capturing mouse moves in a VM in the cloud

    I'm running Adobe Captivate 5 on Windows 7 and have encountered a weird problem.
    We have Virtual Machines running in the cloud.   We can access them through a URL in the web browser, and it brings up a console of the vm inside a Java window inside the browser.
    If I try to do a recording (auto, not live motion) of activity inside the browser window where the VM console is showing, it captures the mouse clicks, but not the mouse moves.   They completely disappear, and all I get are the mouse clicks.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    I guess you have a high DPI mouse so you could try to start play with mouse polling rate:
        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_Polling_Rate
    and also you could look at settings different parameters via xinput:
        http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Develo … celeration
    If you have laser one like Logitech M705, there could be also some problem if you use it on surface with wooden pattern, I think that something like that was mention in its manual.

  • Newly installed Cap 8 not capturing mouse clicks

    Newly installed Captivate 8 is not capturing my mouse clicks.  Captivate is set to Training & I have my regular settings selected.  I have also worked with the application I am trying to capture before and did not experience any issues.  Thoughts?

    Hi there,
    Please tell which Operating system is it?
    If it is Windows, then have you installed the 32 bit version or 64 bit of Captivate?
    Again, if it is Windows please try to run it as admin, by right clicking the Captivate launch icon.
    Thanks.

  • Use behaviour class to capture mouse motion
