Mouse & Keyboard events

Question

Hi all,
I�m creating an applet and this applet needs to use both keyboard and mouse events�. My problem is that when I try to enable mouse events, such as mouse click, using either this.enableEvents(AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK) in init() method, or using mouse listener:
public class ThreeDSimApplet extends Applet implements Runnable, MouseListener
and defining the required methods:
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {
     if (event.getButton()==MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
     mouseX=event.getX();
mouseY=event.getY();
System.out.println(mouseX+" ," + mouseY);
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event) {
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event) {
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event) {
the keyboard events become disabled and my keyboard doesn�t works anymore�. Exist a way to use both events in my applet?
Bye and thanks

Hi
This doesn't answer your question exactly, but I suggest implementing
a MouseAdapter instead of a MouseListener.
That way you won't have to implement all the unused methods
(eg mouseEntered, mouseExited etc.); just the one(s) you need
See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/generalrules.html#eventAdapters
Good luck for getting an answer to you question!
