Script center mouse button click?

Can anyone tell me how to script a click on the mighty mouse roller ball? I have click on the roller ball/center mouse button set to bring up the Application Switcher. What I like about this method of bringing up Application Switcher is that it remains on screen without having to hold any keys down. I am hoping that a script that tells the system to center mouse button click will bring launch Application Switcher such that it stays on screen.

you can't possibly script something like that. you have to consult the documentation for your mouse to see if it lets you reassign the button functions to do this. start with system preferences->keyboard and mouse->mouse. also some 3rd party mouse drivers like USB overdrive will probably let you do this

Identify left and right mouse button clicks?

I am wondering how is it possible to identify left mouse button click and right mouse button click using Java rather than just identify a mouse click.
Kumar

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can use MouseEvent's getButton() function.
For example
class MyListener implements MouseListener
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        int btn = e.getButton();
        //btn = 1 (left button), btn=2 (right button) for 2 button mouse and so on...
}

Firefox 4 middle mouse button click acts different from v3

clicking on the middle mouse button (not scrolling) acts like "open link in duplicated tab" rather than how it used to act like "open link in new tab".
It places the new tab at the bottom/end of the list of tabs rather than how it used to as a child of the tab in which the middle button was clicked.
Is there an option to change this behavior?

jscher2000: THANK YOU. The thread was doubly useful.
1. I had the same problem to cor-el's post to "Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to true on the about:config page" as orwel had: it will not be changed.
2. I disabled my addons one by one and found that THE PROBLEM WAS with Duplicate This Tab 1.2 When it is disabled, the center mouse click works as it used to -- and I assume this means 'correctly'. Certainly it's the way I want it to work:-)
3. I am new to this support path. If you think the information I just posted can help those on the thread you pointed to, and you are so inclined, please inform them about Duplicate This Tab 1.2 should anyone there be using it.

Swap Mouse Button Click

hi, I am working on some application and i got this problem, i have this EventHandler class and all my application event pass through this class, now what i want to do is, i want to swap the events on mouse click, like when user press mouse left click i want to change this even as right click, this will basically depands on user choice, so is there any possible way to change the event behaviour or to sawap mouse right click as in left and left as in right?
here is my code,
public class MyEventQueueHandler extends EventQueue {
private boolean MacOs = Myapp.macOS();
protected void dispatchEvent(AWTEvent event) {
    if(MacOs) super.dispatchEvent(event);
    else
    if(event instanceof KeyEvent) {
      if(System.currentTimeMillis() - ((KeyEvent)event).getWhen() <= 1000)
      super.dispatchEvent(event);
      else ((KeyEvent) event).consume();
    } else
    if(event instanceof MouseEvent) {
        if(SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton((MouseEvent)event))
              if(pref)
            ///here i wants to do something ,which passes this is as mouse left event
      if(System.currentTimeMillis() - ((MouseEvent)event).getWhen() <= 1000)
      super.dispatchEvent(event);
      else ((MouseEvent) event).consume();
    } else
    super.dispatchEvent(event);
if anyone can help with this thing...many thanks.

could be a simple as separating the code from the event and using
the various conditions to call the approriate code?
something like this (mouse click in the panel)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Testing
JLabel label = new JLabel("");
boolean swapButtons = false;
public void buildGUI()
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.add(label);
    p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600,400));
    JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
    final JCheckBox cbx = new JCheckBox("Swap Buttons");
    p1.add(cbx);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(p,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    f.getContentPane().add(p1,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    f.pack();
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
    p.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
        if(SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(me)){
          if(cbx.isSelected()) leftClickCode();
          else rightClickCode();
        else if(SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(me)){
          if(cbx.isSelected()) rightClickCode();
          else leftClickCode();
public void leftClickCode()
    label.setText("leftClickCode");
public void rightClickCode()
    label.setText("rightClickCode");
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}

Flash Island: right mouse button click will trigger a refresh of Flash

Dear all,
I'm trying the example IslandsWDATutorial1 (bar chart) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/IslandsWDATutorial1
I found when I click right mouse button (or context menu button on keyboard) in web dynpro area, the flash (bar chart) will refresh.
I debugged but can't find the reason. Does anyone know how to prevent this refresh?
Thanks for your help
Donny

Currently the XML for the Island is not delta handled. It is resent to the FlashIsland on any event. Although the Flash Player isn't recreated on these events, the data is rebound to the UI controls - causing linked animations to replay.
This was recently discussed on the forum and I created a prototype implementation of a possible delta handler mechanism for the Islands XML. It creates a stable Island when there are no changes that impact the context(s) bound to the Island. This has been turned over to development and they will consider it for the next development sprint. Likely this functionality won't make its way into the product until the next enhancement package, however.

Trackpad mouse-button click

My mouse button on my MacBook has broken on the right side. You have to push it really hard for it to work. Now the left side of it is getting where it does always respond the first time I click it. And sometimes i click once and it double-clicks on its own. Do I need to send it in for service or what, I have the 3 year protection plan. Will it be fixed for free because I have that?

Send it in. Your machine is under warranty so you can get it fixed for free.
I know some people with this problem have just bent the underside of the button or something like that to fix this but why risk this or put up with the problem if its under warranty.

Envy m4 - mouse button clicking

I have an HP Envy m4 which was puchased in April 2013. Within the last few days the left button of my mouse pad has started to click when I tap it. It seems like it's getting stuck but nothing has spilled on it and it's not dirty. It's not depressing at the same level from one side of the button to the other like the right button. Almost like something broke below it? What can I do to correct this? Thanks!

Hi Zekemon,
The only way to inspect the touchpad assembly would be to disassemble the Notebook. You could try using compressed air around the touchpad surface when the system is powered off but it is doubtful this will help. It is possible some dust has accumulated under the touchpad.
An HP tech or a qualified tech in your locale would have to disassemble the Notebook and inspect for dust or damage.
Are you under warranty? Then I recommend contacting HP Support for service.
Please see here for six possible matches for an Envy m4. Select your product, select "Contact HP", and select a support option.

Right mouse button click in a JTree leaf

Hi,
how can I add a mouse listener in a JTree leaf? I have DOM nodes wrapped and a JTree model adapter to set up the JTree. I want the popup menu to show everytime the user clicks on a leaf, but not on the tree itself.
Thanks!

Really you just have to add your listener to the tree itself, then use the Point to find the corresponding TreePath (getPathForLocation), from which you'll easily find the node.

The only way to purchase from the iTunes Store is via iTunes, on a computer or iOS device, and it will automatically download your purchase immediately. You have a couple of options: you can go ahead and purchase on another computer that has iTunes and then just copy the purchases to your Vista system (via any normal means of file transfer), or if you're in the US, the new iTunes in the Cloud feature, currently in beta and so not completely reliable, would allow you to download the purchases again at some future time when you get your iTunes problems sorted out. I'd recommend the first option as the best solution for now (and the only solution if you're not in the US).

Recognizing both mouse buttons clicked

hey everyone!
thats my first post here..
as a student, i'm making a JAVA-based project for my final exams this year.
my project is a minesweeper game, yep, just like microsoft's one, only JAVA-based.
i want my mouselistener to recognize when i click BOTH left button and right button on a JButton, and when releasing at least one of them do some commands that i will program by myself already..
the only thing is i don't have a clue how to make my mouselistener recognize that.. any help please?
thanks!!

In mouseReleased(MouseEvent) you can check the extended modifiers using getModifiersEx() to see if the opposite button (the one not being released) is held down. For example, if the BUTTON1 is released check for BUTTON2_DOWN_MASK in the extended modifiers. If this is the case then you know that both buttons were down and the user just released BUTTON1. Check for BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK if the button is BUTTON2 and you know that both buttons were down and the user just released BUTTON2.

Is it possible to create a context menu, which is launched by right mouse button click event?

The question is following: when you are pushing right button in the window of a working vi you see the build-in context menu of labview. Is it possible to customize it, or create the new one?

There's no nuilt-in LabVIEW function or tool to do it, but Dave Ritter published an artical in the LabVIEW Technical Resource last year that described how to do this. It uses the Event Structure so you need to have at least LabVIEW 6.1.
You can read a bit of the artical here. There's also a link on the bottom of the page where you can purchase that issue to get the entire artical and sample code.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
I think the hardware has failed.
Note the mousepd is not the issue. The right button is the problem
Left button works fine

Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
Good luck.
