Tracking system events.. Mouse double click / Right click in OS environment

Hello all,
I have stored files in my computer which are generated using my application.These files own my application specific file extension. I have registered the file association to windows registry and when each time the file is opened in OS environment (using double click or rignt click on the icon--> open etc.,).. i need to access the file's absolute path in order to open it using my application. How to track those system events (Double clicks, right click--> open etc.,)..can anyone help me out??..
Thank you in advance!!

Yeah.. the OS will pass the necessary information. How do my application will receive the parameter?.. That has to be done by my coding.. right??..
For example, if an .doc file is opened the OS will open MS-Word and how ll the MS-Word get those parameters. In the same way, how can i receive that parameters to my application..?..this is where i am struggling... i use J2SDK1.4.2_11 and Eclipse 3.1.
Expecting ur response!!
Thanks in advance!!

Trying to catch mouse double click

Using come code in the API 1.3 documentation, I created a JList and am trying to catch when a user double clicks on an item in the list. I have the following snippet of code:
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if ((e.getClickCount() == 3) && (e.getSource() == list1)) {
int index1 = list1.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
System.out.println("Double clicked from the left list on Item " + index1);
When I double click on an item in list1, it prints out the output line twice as in:
Double clicked from the left list on Item 1
Double clicked from the left list on Item 1
How can I get it to run the code only once. I'm not sure why it's running it twice. Any Ideas would be helpful. Thanks....

I've used similar procedure with success in JDK1.3.1. Without seeing the rest of your code, the only thing left for you to experiment with is to call the consume() method if the count is greater than 1. I did notice that Java mouse event handler leaves much to be desired. For example, the mouseentered and mouseexited events kept getting fired even tho the mouse has entered and never leave.

How to trigger event when double click on a tree node

I have this code which creates new tab in a remote Java Class.
treeView.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<TreeItem<String>>()
   @Override
   public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends TreeItem<String>> observable, TreeItem<String> oldValue, TreeItem<String> newValue)
   System.out.println("Selected Text : " + newValue.getValue());
   // Create New Tab
   Tab tabdata = new Tab();
   Label tabALabel = new Label("Test");
tabdata.setGraphic(tabALabel);
   DataStage.addNewTab(tabdata);
Can you tell me how I can modify the code to open new tab when I double click on a tree node. In my code the tab is opened when I click once. What event handler do I need?

Distinguishing b/t two single mouse-click and mouse-double-click

Hi,
I am curious to find out how Forms will distinguish between two single when-mouse-click events and a single when-mouse-doubleclick event. Is it simply a timing issue or is there more involved i.e. the 'co-ordinates' of the mouse. Thanks in advance for any opinions given,
regards,
Kevin.

The difference is same as the difference of Apple and Orange.
Its depends on O/S and event management within OS kernel.
You can change the timing in Control panel of mouse double click.

How to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?

how to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?
Just like that, double click a file named a.doc, windows will open it by word.exe.

I try that:
exec("cmd /c start winword \"c:\dir\a b.doc\"");
like this posting(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=634576 ), and It is ok.
But now I make a file list with different files, .pdf,.xls,.doc and so on, I wanna double click to open one with its default system editor.
if no space:
exec("cmd /c start " + file);
will invoke the default editor to open it. if space, it can't do it.
And now I rename all files, replace space to _.

How to capturing Mouse double click action?

Thanks in advance..

Hi,

e.getClickCount() value increases if we keep on clicking on the component, is there anythning wrong by interpreting double click as
"e.getClickCount() >=2 "?

MOUSE DOUBLE CLICKING

I have an hp mouse...however it says product of china on the back..It does look like an hp mouse though..
Anyhow..it's doubleclicking..it's driving me crazy..
I've had the mouse for a few years..
It just starting doing this..
I"m running XP
It is a USB..with a red light under it...with an optical eye?...Not sure if that's what they call it..
Please help..Are there drivers I can use to fix this...
I"m not sure if a windows update..might have done this..
Many thanks..

Hi kittylondon,
I understand your mouse is acting like you are double-clicking even though you are only clicking. Take a look at the following, Troubleshoot mouse double-clicking when you single-click. The document also applies to Windows 7 and Windows Vista, so you will have to make sure you are referencing only the portions that apply to Windows XP. I hope this is of help to you. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day.

JTable & mouse double-click?

hi,
When I double-clicked a row in a JTable ,how can i get one column's value in that row.how can i do with the mouse event.
some examples are preferred.
thankx in advance !
rain

When you say "one column's value in that row" do you mean that you want the value that the user double-clicked?
When you receive a mouse event, get the selected rows and columns from the table, then get the value from the table model using the getValueAt() method.
int[] selectedRows = table.getSelectedRows();
int[] selectedCols = table.getSelectedColumns();
String selectedElement = (String)model.getValueAt(selectedRows[0], selectedCols[0]);
System.out.println(selectedElement + " selected");

Mighty mouse double click

How do I get my mighty mouse to double-click? Throught System Preferences, I have the the left side of the mouse as the primary button, the scroll button as dashboard and the right side as secondary button. I have the double-click speed set as fast, yet I can not get the mouse to select text by manually double clicking the primary button. Any suggestions? I've only had the mouse for 5 weeks, and have yet to get it to double-click.

Should work fine, try decreasing the double click speed, and be careful not to push the right half of the mouse.

Magic Mouse: Double-click function

I have "secondary-click"(right) activated on the "magic mouse" and it's great if I want to open a drop-down list on a page.
However, on the "mighty-mouse" which I had before, the "right-click" was set up to act as a "double-click" which was very handy for opening documents and folders etc.
Is there any way to set up the "magic-mouse" so that a "right-click" will act as a "double-click"?

You could try a third-party driver like BetterTouchTool (http://blog.boastr.net/?page_id=1722)

Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
