How to detect a mouse release event?

AE SDK provides events for mouse click and mouse drag over effect plugin custom UIs, however there does not seem to be events for mouse release events.
Are we supposed to keep ourselves an internal track of the mouse status? In that case, do we need to use OS-specific functions? Or is there a more clever way to do it?

@shachar
Yes, I set send_drag during the DoClick event callback, like they do in the SDK samples.
Anyway, for the time being I found that using OS-specific functions (for example GetAsyncKeyState for Windows) does the job.

Mouse released event for scrollbar

Hello,
I have a java.awt.Scrollbar component on applet.
I need to perform actions when user releases the mouse from the
scrollbar. For example the user presses the mouse on the scrollbars
tracking rectangle and starts to track. Then the values of the
scrollbar changes and finally user releases the mouse left button-
this final event (mouse release) is in my interest. How can i get
mouse release event from scrollbar? The AdjustmentListener does not
suit for me because it fires AdjustmentEvents even then when the user
hasn't released the mouse. I need to perform more actions for every
scrollbar's change; so my applet i slow at the moment, because every
"tracking in scrollbar" creates a lot of events before the mouse is
finally released.
I added a MouseListener for my scrollbar, but mouseReleased event does
not work. Can yo help me?
Thank you, any help would be nice.
Here is some demo code i tried:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Kerimisriba1 extends Applet implements
AdjustmentListener, MouseListener{
     Scrollbar kerimisriba=new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.VERTICAL, 20, 5, 1,
100); //algv��rtus, nupu suurus, v�him ja suurim v��rtus
     TextField tf=new TextField(10);
     public Kerimisriba1(){
          setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          add(kerimisriba, BorderLayout.WEST);
          add(tf, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          //kerimisriba.addAdjustmentListener(this);
          kerimisriba.addMouseListener(this);
          System.out.println("AdjustmentEvent.TRACK="+AdjustmentEvent.TRACK);
     public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e){
          //System.out.println(e.getAdjustmentType());
          // tf.setText(kerimisriba.getValue()+"");
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){
          tf.setText("mouseReleased");
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){}
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me){}
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me){}
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){}
}

I made a screenshot of how the applet works in my computer:
http://charles.pri.ee/scroll.gif
As you see in the java console,
the statement System.out.println("mouseReleased");
does not executes,
in my computer.
I tried this on co-workers comuter with Internet Explorer- there was no mouse release event either.
I hope i'm not very annoying, but i still need help:)
I replaced the constructor with init() method:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Kerimisriba1 extends Applet implements AdjustmentListener, MouseListener{
     Scrollbar kerimisriba=new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.VERTICAL, 20, 5, 1, 100); //algv��rtus, nupu suurus, v�him ja suurim v��rtus
     TextField tf=new TextField(10);
     public void init(){
          kerimisriba.addAdjustmentListener(this);
          setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          kerimisriba.addMouseListener(this);
          add(kerimisriba, BorderLayout.WEST);
          add(tf, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          System.out.println("AdjustmentEvent.TRACK="+AdjustmentEvent.TRACK);
     public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e){
          System.out.println(e.getAdjustmentType());
          tf.setText(kerimisriba.getValue()+"");
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){
          tf.setText("mouseReleased");
          System.out.println("mouseReleased");
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){
          System.out.println("mouseClicked");
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me){}
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me){}
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
          System.out.println("mousePressed");

How can i call mouse click event from keypress event???

How can i call mouse click event from keypress event???
I want same GUI changes to be occured at key press.....i.e . button going down & comming up.....
for calculator

Put all the code that happens on those events into a method. Then call that method from both events.

Mouse release event on jtable if its pressed outside jtable

Is there any way to to catch the mouse release event on JTABLE if the mouse has been pressed on any other window.
If Its pressed on jtable it can catch mouse release but if if its pressed out side than no mouse event is generated like mouse move and release if I drag mouse over jtable
I have used mouse motion as well as click listeners but to no avail.
Thanx in advance

>
You could create a generic listener to add to all
components (or possibly an event queue or something)
to get all mouse release events and refire the event
to the component the mouse is really over.One way to do this would be the following:
    AWTEventListener globalMouseListener = new AWTEventListener() {
        public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event) {
            MouseEvent me = (MouseEvent)event;
            if( me.getID() == MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED ) {
                System.out.println("Mouse relased at: " + me.getPoint());
                System.out.println("Source: " + me.getSource());
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
            globalMouseListener, AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);Now, the source of the MouseReleased event will be the component on which the mouse was pressed, but once you have the coordinates you can probably transform them and find out if the mouse was released over your table using one or more of the SwingUtilities.convertPoint methods.
On the other hand, maybe there is a far simpler way of doing it than this...

How to detect control-mouseclick event

I'm trying to make the Z-scale max property of an Intensity graph more flexible to modify from the front panel. In the attached VI, I use an increment/decrement control and just detect a value change event (ignoring the value of the control). This works fine, although it is a bit of a kludge.
I'd like to make it more functional though. My main question is the following: How can I detect a "control-mouseclick" event? I plan to use this event to change the Intensity Graph max by a factor rather than by an additive value.
A second small question: On the numeric control, is there a way I can get rid of the displayed number whitespace and leave only the increment/decrement buttons?
Thanks,
Allan

tbob,
Thanks. Your suggesetion solves my original problem, but it creates another. With the platmods "ctrl" boolean hooked to a case statement, I can choose between those "ctrl click" and "regular click" cases. However, with the "mouse down" event, I can't tell if the increment or decrement button was pressed.
I guess one solution is to replace a single inc/dec control with two booleans controls (increase and decrease) and to have two separate events . Problem with that is that I'm really piling up event cases, because I'll need several copies of this type of control on my front panel.
Can you suggest any way to have both inc/dec button and ctrl-mouse functionality? Maybe there is a way to combine the "value change" and "mouse down" events?

How to detect the line wrap event of JTextPane?

Hi all,
I'd like to detect the line wrapping event of JTextPane, so as to adjust the visible rows of JTextPane. How could I do this? Thanks!
Yi Bing

there is no wrap event.
Wrap happens during relayout. The event which invokes relayout could be different. E.g. change size or chane model (document).
Just add document listener and componnet listener.

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.

Siva

Panel Resize - how to tell when mouse released?

I need to programmatically resize all my controls when the panel is resized. I can't use the automatic option, as I have some specific things to do, e.g. some controls stay at fixed size, others resize.
I've used an event structure and am doing the resizing on the "Panel Resize" event. The problem is that this takes a little time, mainly as one of the controls is an Adobe Reader ActiveX control, which takes a little time to rescale and redraw.
The result is that the VI seems to queue up the events as the panel is resized - if you grab the corner of the window and move it around, the VI then sits and ploughs through all the events that were created as it was resized.
What I'm really after is an event that fires after the panel has been resized and the mouse has been released. Is there a way of achieving this?
Thanks

There's no event for this, but you can filter your events, for example, like this:
There are other variations on this (setting a flag, using a case structure in the original event case, etc.).
Try to take over the world!

Not detecting mouse exit events

I'm developing a Java application that implements an 'auto-hide' functionality - similar to that of the Office Shortcut bar - such that when the mouse moves outside of the application frame the window auto-hides. I'm using the Mouse Exit event to detect when the mouse moves outside of the the application frame and then I 'hide' the window (or rather resize it to 2 pixels high) so I can then detect the Mouse Entered event to restore the window.
This works OK but occasionally if I move the mouse quick enough the exited event isn't detected and the window doesn't always hide.
Are there any other ways of detecting if the mouse moves outside of the application frame (so I can also trigger my 'hide' function) without relying on other events such as windowLostFocus.
Thanks,
Richard.

I have one suggestion:
Check that the component that you use to monitor mouse exit and enter events has at least one pixel visible from all sides (most layout managers allow a border (not a Border class or subclass) that is not occupied by child subcomponent).
For example if you will place some other component in container directly so some side then mouse enter and exit events will be fired on that component and not on the container.

How to detect a selected row in ALV GRID

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to detect and catch an event when a row is selected in an ALV GRID?
I would like to catch such event when the end user presses Ctrl + Shif + Space bar.
Thank you and best regards.
Hassane.

Hi,
Use this wiki link, to have a checkbox with all the records in ALV Grid and to process those selected records at a user command, as per the requirement.

Simulating mouse drag events?

Hi all,
I am wrinting unit tests for my swing application. For one test I want to simulate a drag event over a panel. I have tried JFCUnit, but does not seem to work for this, so I am trying to write my own.
I create 3 mouse events and post them on the system event queue. A mouse press event, a mouse drag event and a mouse release event. MouseEvent's do let you specify a drag start and a drag end point in their constructor. So I have tried using both, but neither works.
Am I doing anything wrong? The component I'm operating on gets the mouse pressed and mouse released events, but thats all.
any help much appreciated,
Justin

I tried using the Robot class alright, but it does really wierd things. I sometimes doesn't work for simulating dragging events. I have a component that you can drag anywhere on the screen using the mouse, without having to use the titlebar. I am trying to test this dragging, but with the robot class, it looks like it goes into an infinate recursion. The mouseDragged method gets executed thosands of times, and you can see the panel shifting from its origional position to the new position and back again for a few seconds. Could be a bug in Robot class.

Mouse Click Event

Hi, can any one tell me how to capture the mouse click event in the report ? For example suppose the user is double clicking in a perticular coulmn in a report output, I want to show him/her a message.
Thanks
Feroz

Feroze,
I think it is not possible to capture mouse click at report runtime. But you can use buttons in report. It will work.

How to detect mouse clicks on desktop?

Hi All,
I need to detect mouse clicks on the desktop and find out mouse position on the screen. How to listen to mouse events if I don't have any swing components like containers, panels, windows, etc? All things like "addMouseListener" are supposed to be with such components. But my program is running in the background and it doesn't have any graphical interfaces. So, I need to detect if a mouse button is pressed at any position on the screen.
Thanks for any help!

Why? What program feature do you intend to offer, by knowing what a user clicks on (besides the application itself).Hi, well what I have to do is to start the application minimized in the system tray. Then the application must be listening for crtl+shift+left click in any part of the desktop or an opened application, when that happens, I have to show a window asking if the user want to take a screenshot starting in the x,y point he clicked, once done, I have to take an screenshot...so on.
How can I do that? Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks in advance.
