Generate mouse events

Hi, hope to be clear enough so someone can help me.
After a couple of hours digging i cant find a way to make a java program to generate mouse events. I found the Robot class that has the method mousemove(x,y) but I dont need the pointer to be relocated at some position in the screen.
What i need is to translate some input (from jinput, already reading a book on that) to "real" mouse movements.
for example:
if you press key 1: the mouse should go 1 unit forward.
if you press key 2: the mouse should go 2 units forward.
and so on..
the Robot.mousemove(x,y) will magically make the pointer appear at x y in the screen. besides if I see that the pointer is at (10, 10) an I relocate it at (10,9) and repeat it several times the screen will end at (10,0)...
I would like to enable an other program that is expecting mouse movements to believe that the mouse moved forward, backward, etc... like if someone actually moved the mouse. NOTHING TO DO WITH the screen!
Hope someone knows how to do this.
cheers!

Do you want get rich easily?
You can change life, you can have money as much as you want. All you have to do is to send 12 dollars to 6 people bank accounts.
All you have to do is the fallowing:
You have to have bank account. You have to send 2 $ to below listed bank accounts. This is legal, you made a favour for those people and for your self.
This is the bank accounts:
1. LT957300010074515201
2. LT217044000017612013
3. LT547400012388523830
4. LT857044000879616105
5. LT577300010085485906
6. LT837300010088377105
After sending money, you need to delete the first bank account and make room for your account, after deleting first account, in the bottom of the list write your accounts number. You have to delete only the first one. Very important to do it honestly.

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.

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.

Programatically change control focus to generate and Event......

I'm adding some user enhancement (anti-screw-it-up functions) to insure the desired process is executed.
Primary question: If I have an event that is handles by a value change in a text control, (event happens when you hit Enter or exit control with mouse) will the event also occur if you exit the control by programatically changing the focus to another control ?
I'm going to try and set up a temp vi to test this but wanted to see if anyone had tried this and if it works or not. My other option is to set up multiple event cases but I was hoping to use a single case to handle everything.
A few details, I have a test system that tests a product automatically when the product is placed in a cradle and the cradle is moved into position and activates a prox sensor. At end of test, system waits for prox sensor to de-activate before resetting the system.
If a unit fails, there are rework options and the unit can be retested. When it fails, a label prints defining the failure modes and provides a failing serial number. When the unit is retested, the failing serial number is entered into a text control. I want the re-test sequence (queued up in the Event) to occur when either 1, a failing serial number is entered or two a button is pressed (with mouse) I'm pretty sure pressing a button would in turn automatically create the text control change event so my button can probably be a dummy button just for appearances.
Where the hole is if the user enters a failed serial # and doesn't exit the control and then engages a pump to start the test. I can use a 'Empty Path/String' function but the control will continue to show empty as if nothing was entered until the Enter key is pressed or the mouse is used to exit the control.
If I can generate the event by changing the focus, then it will insure that if a failing s/n is entered, the re-test sequence occurs and if nothing exists in that field, it performs a first time test.
A little long winded for sure but any thoughts are appreciated.
Can't really post any simple code as this feature is in my top level vi and I have a really big app that doesn't warrant uploading.

Actually, changing the focus alone did not trigger the event but I was able to then utilize the Empty Path/String function to drive a Value(Signaling) node for the control.

Using activex component in openGL app: mouse event issues.....

i'm trying to get the Flash ActiveX control to work in an
OpenGL app. so far i've managed to get the bitmap data and map it
to a texture succesfully. but i'm having problems getting the mouse
interaction to work.
i get an hWnd from IShockWaveFlash's IOleWindow. when i send
mouse messages to it, the mouse is interpreted correctly by
actionscript (for example, i have a custom mouse cursor tracking
_xmouse, _ymouse which works fine).
however, buttons do not behave correctly. rollover is
erratic, and only in rare circumstances can i get a button's
onPress handler to fire.
am i sending the mouse events in correctly? any ideas of any
other way to send them in?

Thank you for you mail,

Swing Mouse Event Propagation

Hello,
I'm developing my first Swing application.
One of the components is a thumbnail image panel (ext. JPanel) containing several other components (mostly ext. JLabel). I have the image panel receiving mouse events so as to allow the user to see when the image panel is 'in focus' (rollover effect basically) and to allow the image panel to be selected by clicking.
I added a tooltip to one of the contained labels, and it now 'consumes' my mouse enter/exit event so that now it is as if the label is not part of it's container. This is not what I want.
Is there not some simple way to allow mouse events to be listened for by a child component but yet to 'fall through' to a listener in the parent component?
Any insight into this little problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

You can listen to all MouseEvents generated:
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener( new AWTEventListener()
public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent e)
System.out.println(e);
}, AWTEvent.MOUSE_MOTION_EVENT_MASK + AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);You would then need to determine if the source component is a descendent of your main panel.

Polygon mouse events

Hi, lets suppose that I have a graph of polygons (By graph I mean that different polygons may share certain points.
Now, imagine each polygon is actually kept in a separate jcomponent, and painted in the paintComponent() method.
Now, even though the polygons do not over-lap (they form a graph remember), the bounding boxes do!
So, I am no longer able to get any meaningful mouse events (based on which polygon is actually selected). Instead, I will just get which jcomponent's bounding box is selected.
Now, if I want all of these events to be generated and received as a result of the mouse entereing the actual polygon or selecting a point in the actual polygon (instead of the bounding box), what will be the best way to do this.
Sorry if I was unclear...
Thanks,
-Steven

Thanks, I wasn't aware that this was the method used by mouse events.

If you don't have a GUI application then no events will be generated.
Or do you mean "GUI experience?" A quick google would have found you these:

How can I detect an external trigger and then generate an event or occurance

I have a PXIe-1065 chassis with a PXIe8030 controller, PXI-6653 timing module, PXI-6542 Digital IO, and PXI-6259 DAQ board, running LabView 8.5. I need to detect a trigger (100 ns TTL pulse) from an external device then start a process on a GPIB device. Is there a way for me to detect this trigger and then generate an event, or an occurance ? Can I do this without polling a device? Can any of this hardware generate an interrupt that LabView can detect?

My screenshot was only an example how you can approach the issue. I wasnt saying that you should try it with AI....
Just take a closer look into the DAQmx Events and you will discover something like this:

Mouse Events are slow

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on an standard as3 (1024x768) app that
is running inside a chromeless Air window to take advantage of the
transparency.
All my tests where done using windows XP professional and AIR
1.0 (the same problem existed in beta3).
The issue I'm having is related with Mouse Events. Somehow
the events take a lot of time to reach the swf file when the user
clicks inside the transparent window.
It's natural that the app runs slower inside a transparent
window (the framerate drops) but I wasn't expecting the clicks to
suffer from such delay (it takes sometimes 2-5sec).
The app is very CPU intensive and the transparencies make it
worse. Something inside the AIR framework is not dispatching the
events properly.
I say this because I tried using the virtualMouse class from
senocular together with a socket to simulate the mouse clicks and
that did the trick.
In conclusion:
Something in the AIR framework for windows XP is messing up
the dispatch of the Mouse events when the app is under heavy cpu
usage inside a chromeless window. I click on the window and it
takes 1-2sec to receive the click event.
However when I dispatch the MouseEvent.CLICK myself using
the virtual mouse class the application immediately receives the
event.
I know this is a strange bug and not many people will have
this problem, but I would like to know from someone with knowledge
of the runtime why this could be happening.
Thank you

Firefox mouse event not behaving the same on PC and Mac computers

I use the FCKEditor and having a very strange problem. When I click on the FCKEditor's editing area, the keyboard gets disabled untill I click the mouse somewhere outside of the editing window. The problem only happen on Firefox (3.6.10) on Mac computer (Snowleopard 10.6.4). Doing exactly the same steps on PC works without any problem.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible that the Firefox on Mac is different than the PC in handling mouse events? Or some other areas?

Sounds more that Firefox is treating that editor area as read-only.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Non modal PopUpManager blocking mouse events

In our application we have a header, footer and center area. We have a situation where we want to block the header and center area with a popup, but leave the footer area so it can be clicked on. The code works fine and it all looks good, except the mouse events are blocked to the footer. If we slightly resize the window (either with the mouse or programatically) it all "wakes up" and starts working. I have tried all sorts of invalidateDisplayList, validateDisplayList, validateNow, etc. I am throwing this out there to see if anyone else has had this problem and if there is something I am missing. I can't easily share my code, but if I don't get a reply I'll put together a code example to see if I can recreate it. Any ideas are very welcome. Been scratching my head at this one for 3 days now.

I should point out that we are using "false" for the modal flag, just in case anyone was thinking that. It all works fine once it "wakes up" through resizing, but I need to make that happen without the resizing.
And we have tried all sorts of "callLater" behavior in conjuction with the invalidate/validate calls.

Mouse events during Thread.sleep

hi.
I have an applet .
I have a alghoritm simulator.
Everytime I find a solution I call the method Thread.sleep .
I want to pause the application and I create a JToggleButton Pause .
When I press the Pause during sleep mouse event are managed at the end of alghoritm.
How can I manage mouse events during sleep?

All UI events (such as mouse events) occur on the event dispatch thread (EDT).
That means if you sleep on the EDT, you lock up the UI. For this reason, you shouldn't be sleeping on the EDT.
I'm not sure what your sleep is trying to do but you need to manage your threads a little more carefully. For instance, any time consuming process which is invoked as a result of a UI event needs to be fired on a new thread to prevent the UI freezing. The fun starts when you have to update the UI as a result of that process, because you should then hook back onto the EDT to avoid the risk of deadlock.
Some utility classes are provided, such as SwingUtilities, and other example code is provided on Sun's site, such as SwingWorker - but if you do much UI work you'll probably end up with your own core set of threading tools and so on to make life easier.

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.

Mouse Events at the icon in systray.

My program call library function to add, modify or delete icon into systray.
Additionaly I'd like to get back information when any mouse event had happen under icon in systray like move mouse, right/left button click etc. to display popup menu (as an standart behaviour).
I've tried Windows Message Queue, but it only works inside application window area.
How could I do it ?
Any suggestions, examples or advises ?
