Mouse Events

Posted by Hassled on April 06, 2001 at 1:11 PM

I am creating a Java applet, in which I am distinguishing between mouse clicks and mouse pressed.

I am using mouse events to control actions. In one case I want the applet read two points indicated by mouse clicks. I can do this easily using mouseclicked() and by counting the clicks.

However, I want to do the same thing using mousepressed and mousereleased. So there is a choice. Click on two points, or press at one and release at the other.

The problem is that I can do either independently, but if I try to include both in the applet the mousepressed event appears to supercede the mouseclicked event, so only it works.

Any suggestions?
