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,

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 JTree and stop it from receiving mouse events

    Hi,
    I have a JTree which has a mouse listener associated with (which is used for right-click operations)..,..anyway I am trying to disable the tree, so I call setEnabled(false)...which, as documented, disables the tree but it will still receive mouse events. I also tried, setEditable(false)..... the only way I can think of is to remove the mouse listener, and then when I want to re-enable the tree, I have to add it back.
    is there some other way?
    thanks

  • In FCPX can I stack clips of multiple angles on top of each other and choose what parts I want to make my movie out of?

    Hi there
    I'm debating whether to purchase FInal Cut Pro X or not and I'm new(ish) to video editing.
    What I have done so far is produce a music video mimed to audio and shot at about 20 different angles. Each angle is the length of the ENTIRE song, not just snipets.
    What I want to be able to do is have those 20 videos sitting stacked up on top of each other (completely synced to the audio) and be able to choose what parts of what video I make my final video out of.
    So I want to be able to tell the system to start at angle 1, then at a specific time move to angle 6, then angle 19, then back to angle 1, then angle 16 etc etc etc.
    But I dont want to cut up the parts of each camera angle first, I want to be able to select a specific part to play from each ENTIRE camera angle.
    Is this possible please? And also what is the correct terminology for this process?
    I apologise for not using the correct terminology here, as I dont know the correct words for what I am trying to explain.

  • Not receiving mouse events

    In my ActionScript code I am adding mouse event handlers for a Canvas object (actually a subclass I wrote).  When I move the mouse over a child DisplayObject that was added to the Canvas, I receive all of the appropriate event handlers.  However, when I move the mouse over an area where there are no children, the events stop getting dispatched to my code.  I am verifying this using traces.  I do receive a mouse out and mouse over events, and I also receive a single mouse move event immediately prior to receiving the mouse over/out events, but nothing further.
    Does anybody know why the mouse events would stop when the mouse is directly on top of the Canvas object and not over any children?

  • JTextArea over JLabel(image for background) Can't Receive Mouse Events

    Hi, I use JLabel for putting background image to a JWindow. But when i put a JTextArea component, i can see and edit the contents but JtextArea only receives keyboard events. When i click on it ,its Focus Gained Event is not fired. No blinking cursor is shown.
    I tried to use JLayeredPane and put them on different layers but it doesn't solve the problem.
    I searched the Forums but can't find a suitable answer.
    Any comments please...

    hey man,
    your problem happen not because your JTextArea over a JLabel, but cause JWindow not take focuse before jdk1.4, so if you need to see your blinking cursor just replace your JWindow with a JFrame.
    for the JTExtArea focusing problem, u may refer to the sun bug forum there is a lot of work around.

  • 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:

  • My events photo albums have all been renamed with a number followed by IMPRT instead of the date which was how they were originally named. Also the photo now showing on the top of each folder is not actually in that folder. How do I restore?

    My events photo albums have all been renamed with a number followed by IMPRT (deleting the date on which they were taken) Also the photo now showing on the top of each folder is taken from a different event and so is not actually in the album it is sitting on top of. This happened when I linked to itunes. Any idea how to restore it to how it looked before?

    One thing that I find odd is that iTunes used to rebuild the .itl file when you deleted it.  It seems as if the newer iTunes somehow broke this old capability.  If you delete the .itl file it can't rebuild it- it simple treats this as if this is a fresh installation and completely ignores the fact that the .xml file has all the data in it.  I think Apple needs to bring back this old "feature".  Of course, the negative with that was that you lost all of the "Date Added" info along with some other stuff but at least it still kept the favorites info etc. (and I think maybe even the path although I don't believe I ever tried that because my account path has never changed until now).
    One side note: I can't find where the iTunes Windows SDK is.  I was hoping to try to use that to access the .itl "database" and write a utility to fix this situation.  Seems like this has moved from its original location...

    Try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Since my iPad IOS was updated to 7.0.4, when I send a Pages doc as a Word docx to my kindle the text is all scrunched up down one side as if the letters are on top of each other.  It worked find before and the docx are OK when imported to Word.

    Since my iPad 2 was updated to IOS 1.0.4, I cannot send a docx from Pages to my kindle.  I can to my PC and open it in Word.  But when I send a pages document and select Word as the format, the letters appear on my kindle screen down the left side, printed on top of each other.  It worked fine before the upgrade.  Any suggestions? 

    What version of Pages are you using? Did you upgrade to Pages 2.1 for iOS?

  • On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else on top of it.

    On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else over the top of it. Some pages will run text and pictures together, like a car rear-ending another or a train pile up. Other pages will cut an image or text short, i.e. it will display a portion of the top of the image or text but not the rest. This happens on Amazon for example, the section where it says "Customers who looked at this also looked at" will allow only a certain amount of the upper portion of the description immediately below the picture of the product but below that section everything is fine until I get to another section displaying more products and their descriptions and then it cuts the bottom portions off again. I've noticed this behavior mostly in the sections with product photos, the text sections seem okay. YouTube also displays this behavior. It's even doing it on this page right now. Below this box I can read "The more information you can provide the better chance your question will be answered " , but directly below that in the next sentence I can see the start of it with "Troublshootin" and the "Automatically Add" in a green field covering the "g". The next clear text is "A window will open in the top corner. Click Allow, and then click Install. If the automated way doesn't work, try these manual steps." I tried turning of pre-fetching, clearing history, cookies, and cache, scanning for malware with Avast and Windows Defender all to no avail. It began when I upgraded from dial up to DSL via AT&T Uverse. I have a Motorola NVG510 modem. The modem was replaced an hour ago along with new dedicated lines and DSL/Phone splitter from the box by an AT&T technician to make sure my incoming lines were up to par. He ran a connection test and verified everything is up to standards. IE does not display this behavior. I am running Firefox20.0.1 and all previous versions have acted the same way since I upgraded to DSL about 3 months ago.

    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

  • How do I add multiple JPanels to a JFrame?

    I've been trying to do my own little side project to just make something for me and my friends. However, I can't get multiple JPanels to display in one JFrame. If I add more than one JPanel, nothing shows up in the frame. I've tried with SpringLayout, FlowLayout, GridBagLayout, and whatever the default layout for JFrames is. Here is the code that's important:
    import java.awt.Container;
    import java.awt.FlowLayout;
    import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
    import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class CharSheetMain {
          * @param args
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              CharSheetFrame frame=new CharSheetFrame();
              abilityPanel aPanel=new abilityPanel();
              descripPanel dPanel=new descripPanel();
              frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              abilityScore st=new abilityScore();
              abilityScore de=new abilityScore();
              abilityScore co=new abilityScore();
              abilityScore in=new abilityScore();
              abilityScore wi=new abilityScore();
              abilityScore ch=new abilityScore();
              frame.add(aPanel);
              frame.add(dPanel);
              frame.validate();
              frame.repaint();
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }aPanel and dPanel both extend JPanel. frame extends JFrame. I can get either aPanel or dPanel to show up, but not both at the same time. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
    You need to read up on [How to Use Layout Managers|http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html]. The tutorial has working example of how to use each layout manager.
    By default the content pane of the frame uses a BorderLayout.
    For more help create a [SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program)|http://sscce.org], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
    The code you posted in NOT a SSCCE, since we don't have access to any of your custom classes. To do simple tests of adding a panel to frame then just create a panel, give it a preferred size and give each panel a different background color so you can see how it works with your choosen layout manager.

    Yep, and it still didn't work.
    But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
