Mouse Listener

-----------------------------------

Can I use mouseListener in an applet (runnable), or do i have to use a JFrame/JApplet?

Mouse listeners work with all components I believe.

xHoly-Divinity,
hey school chump,

yes you can use any component and use a mouselistener, keylistener, mousemotionlistener etc....

and yes you can run them in parallel using two threads, however you do not need this for the program you are doing.

just implement both into the same component / add them to the same component, and you will be fine, both will run at same time.

If you don't trust me.....


import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class DoubleListen
{
		public static void main (String args

Learn about interfaces, and learn to read the java.sun.com API docs and you won't need to ask this question.  :)

You are not required to use swing when working with applets.

When Swing is available, why use vanilla AWT?

considering it... maybe towards the end of the project I can 'convert' it to swing bcuz right now I want to get the functionality and everything working and so if there's time in the end (since i've very little experience with swing =/)

Is it possible to get actionListener and keyListener working together? I tried but when I add the actionListner, the keyListener doesn't work  :evil:

RE:Mouse Listener

The two should work together.  When you say that the keyListener doesn't work, what do you mean by it?

Re: Mouse Listener

-----------------------------------

ahhhh figured it out... when u make the button e.g. add (myButton), u have to add it to the ActionListener AND the KeyListener. I forgot to add to KeyListener so that's why it didn't work :mrgreen:

Lol!  Now it seems that my keyListener isn't working.  I implemented the interface, set up my methods, and added the keyListener.  Did I forget anything, cuz I don't think I did.
