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 ?

How to deal with the mouse events when the thread is running

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my program.
Now I want to present a picture for some time in the Canvas,then automatically clear the screen, but when the user press the mousebutton or keybutton, I want to stop the thread and clear the screen.
How can I receive the mouse event when the thread is running?
Thanks,

I use my code in a GUI applet.
I try to use the code tag, it's the first time.
               Image im=sd.getStimulus(obj);
               if(pos==null){
                    g.drawImage(im, (w-im.getWidth(null))/2,(h-im.getHeight(null))/2,null);
               }else{
                    g.drawImage(im, pos.x,pos.y,pos.w,pos.h,null);
               try{
                    sleep(showtime);
//                    Thread.sleep(showtime);
               }catch(InterruptedException e){}
               if(pos==null){
                    g.clearRect((w-im.getWidth(null))/2,(h-im.getHeight(null))/2,im.getWidth(null),im.getHeight(null));
               }else{
                    g.clearRect(pos.x,pos.y, pos.w, pos.h);
               }

How can I make only the shape active for the mouse events, not the whole box around it?

I want to create mouse over events for different parts of an image (say of a hard disk drive), so when the user places their mouse over the spindle, say, it will change colour.
At the moment I have it working however the event is triggered when ever the mouse is in the bounding box of the spindle image. How can I get it to only be triggered when it is above the non transparent part of the image (or symbol)?

Thanks joris182, but that wont work when there are other objects within the bounding box of the transparent symbol. For example, if I want the sclera to highlight, if I use an invisible shape over it, it will be active even if someone has their mouse over the vitreous body.

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.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test3
extends JFrame {
// JTextField jtf = new JTextField();
Object[] as = {"aa","bb","cc","dd"};
JComboBox box = new JComboBox(as);
public Test3() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container content = getContentPane();
String[] head = {
"One", "Two", "Three"};
String[][] data = {
"R1-C1", "R1-C2", "R1-C3"}
"R2-C1", "R2-C2", "R2-C3"}
JTable jt = new JTable(data, head);
box.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
// jtf.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
System.out.println("-------------------JComboBox mouseclick....");
jt.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
System.out.println("-------------------JTable mouseclick....");
// jt.setDefaultEditor(Object.class, new DefaultCellEditor(jtf));
jt.setDefaultEditor(Object.class, new DefaultCellEditor(box));
content.add(new JScrollPane(jt), BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(300, 300);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Test3().setVisible(true);

How to get mouse events inside the components of a JTable

Hi!
I have question, I think this is related to very basics of swing, however I couldn't find a solution/answer on the web.
I have a JMyTable(a descendant of JTable), and one value on a row/column is a special class, ie. MyClass. for this class I registered a cell renderer, MyRenderer. and this renderer returns a JMyComponent, which is actually a descendant of JComponent.
Now, if I call enableEvents(AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK) in the constructor of JMyTable I get events posted on processMouseEvent method. However, the same doesn't work for JMyComponent. I mean, I call enableEvents, however processMouseEvent method is not triggered.
Could someone explain/help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Ozgur

Your cell renderer components are just that: renderers. They're not added to the table and do not appear in the component hierarchy. This is because tables may be very large and adding components in would be very resource hungry.
See here for details
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
If you want to detect events you will need to listen to events on the JTable itself, and use the rowAtPoint()/columnAtPoint() methods to determine the cell. So for instance where you might want mouseEntered() on your cell component you would have to use mouseMoved() on the table and detect when the cursor moves to a new cell.

How to process mouse event in the Label control?

I am now tring a MorphFx program which would like implements a Squeak-Like-Morph operation for JavaFX nodes( include shapes, controls and others). currently it is only a prototype on [http://code.google.com/p/wangzaixiang/wiki/MorphFx]
and there is webstart demo: [http://wangzaixiang.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/LearnJFX/dist/LearnJFX.jnlp]
and a applet demo: [http://wangzaixiang.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/LearnJFX/dist/LearnJFX.html]
There is a problem for new created Label control, which dont fire the "onMousePressed" or other "onMouseXXXX" event, and i have not found any way to do that.
Can somebody tell me how can i add a onMousePressed event to a label and make it works?
Very thanks.

I can confirm the same behaviour when you try to capture eg the mouse clicking events on a progress indicator (also MouseMove). These kind of things are a bit useless most of the time in apps, but nevertheless in fact their event listeners should be correctly implemented or otherwise well documented if not. And in my opinion the javaFx API as well as the language specification/documentation can be far more written in details as it is now. So actually I don't know if SUN wanted that kind of behaviour for controls like that or not.
Somebody from the javaFx SUN team can answer perhaps ?
PS
Of course a workaround with shadow node behind works well if the events will propagate through the label. I didn't test it but think this will work.

Attaching a mouse event to the SeekBar component's SeekBarHandle

Hi, I'm trying to attach a MouseEvent to the SeekBarHandle inside the SeekBar component.
I've tried this and it doesn't work:
flvPlayer_mc.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
flvPlayer_mc.seekBar.seekBarHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doSomeThing);
and I've also tried this and it doesn't work:
flvPlayer_mc.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
seekBar_mc.seekBarHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doSomeThing);
Thanks!

Adobe Reader XI, Comments, Comment Dialog, when multiple paragraphs entered causes comment to rapidly flicker when mouse hovers over comment icon. Unreadable. Can still right click and open the icon to edit text. Windoes 8.1. Repeatable on two identic

Adobe Reader XI downloaded to my wife's laptop tonight. Windows 8.1. Open PDF, select Comments > comment dialog, then place icon on PDF and start editing. Small edits work fine. Large amounts of comment text, once you move off the icon and come back and hover over the comment icon, causes the full size comment window to flicker rapidly (5-10ms between on and off) until you move the mouse away from the icon. Unreadable. Tried on my identical model laptop and happens there too. What's going on?

Get all mouse events no matter what component the mouse is over

Is there anyway to get all the mouse events, in for example, an applet? Usually, the only component that recieves the mouse event is the component which is being hoverred by the mouse. Is there anyway to just get all the mouse events without adding listeners to every component?
Problem:
Well, the real problem is that I have an Applet, that the componentCount() method returns 0. I want to get all mouse events on the applet, but if I just do a appletInstance.addMouseListener(this), it doesn't recieve the mouse clicks. It does however, get mouse exit and mouse enter events.
Thanks for any support.

Use an AWTEventListener:

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

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 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 loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Mouse Event Listeners with Full Screen JMF

I am trying to call the mouseClicked function from JMFs addMouseListner API in order to stop a media file when a user clicks the mouse button (or a key) like in a screensaver
I am able to access the function just before the player is started but once the media file begins to play I am not?
Here is the code I am using for the player and listener:
public static void main(String[] argv) {
JMF myFrame = new JMF("Java Media Framework Project");
myFrame.setUndecorated(true);
myFrame.show();
Dimension screenDim =Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
myFrame.setSize(screenDim.width, screenDim.height);
myFrame.setResizable(false);
myFrame.addMouseListener(
new MouseAdapter(){
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Mouse was clicked");
System.exit(0);
myFrame.play();
Are there any other methods to get around this? Is it possible to embed a JMF application in a window that I can then monitor mouse events from??

I passed the player object to a Listener class and I can get it to work ok with keyboard controls so Im sure the thread is not being blocked...but my problem still exists in being able to monitor mouse events within the JMF display while the media is being played at full screen. (i.e. in order to stop the media)
Maybe I can use the ControllerListener within the JMF player to monitor mouse events? Any ideas on how I do this?
Is it possible to layer the display with a transparent window from which I can monitor mouse events from?
You mentioned asynchronical playback...I am looking into this idea, are there any examples of this on the web I can look at?
Thanks for your speedy reply also!!

Joe

Multiple JPanels on top of each all receiving mouse events

I have multiple JPanels that are painted on top of each other. Each one has mouse listeners that listen for mouse enters, exits, etc. However, it appears that Swing is only propagating the mouse events for the most visible panel (the one that is on top of all of the others). Is there a way to configure Swing in such a way that all JPanels on the screen will get the mouse events, even if they aren't entirely visible on the screen?
Thanks,
-- Ryan

Hi,
You can implement mouse listener for panel and you can identify buttons in the panel with the mouse event of panel using MouseEvent.getComponentAt(MouseEvent.getPoint()) instanceof JButton or not.
I hope this will help,
Kishore.

DISABLE MOUSE EVENT on jlabel

Dear all,
I have a jlabel on which i perform a click and the embbeded image switch between start and stop image.
My problem consists in preventing from performing multiples click/or disabling mouse event while the application starts loading some parameters.
switchViewLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    //it takes a long time
                               onSwitchViewButtonClick();
protected void onSwitchViewButtonClick() {
          System.out.println("onSwitchViewButtonClick");
          if (canGo) {
               System.out.println("canGo");
               canGo = false;
               MainWindowPeer.getInstance().setCursorToWait();
                     //this action load parameter
                        CommandWindow.getInstance().switchView();
                     refreshSwitchViewButton();
               MainWindowPeer.getInstance().setCursorToDefault();
               canGo = true;
     } But on my console i have noticed :
canGo
onSwitchViewButtonClick
canGo
onSwitchViewButtonClick
canGo.....
It looks like we store mouse event anywhere and for each event we execute onSwitchViewButtonClick code and consume event.(it seems to not be asynchronous)....
How to do ???
Thanks for any helps..

Dear all,
yes i want to ignore mouse events until the processing is done.But how to perform process in separate thread and what is a semaphore.Is it possible to have much more explanation...
Shall i do following code..
mouseAdapter = new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
                         public void run() {
                              //switchViewLabel.removeMouseListener(mouseAdapter);
                              onSwitchViewButtonClick();
                              //switchViewLabel.addMouseListener(mouseAdapter);
          };Thanks you in advance...
