Question

Is there a way to dispatch MouseEvent, same as dispatchKeyEvent using the
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(listener);
that happens before the event transferred to the component ?

I know I have 2 options

1) add mouse event to all compoenents recursive

2) use a transparent glasspane

Does Java support this , or do I have to use the one of the options above?

thank you

Answer 1

what i finally did was

long  eventMask = AWTEvent.MOUSE_MOTION_EVENT_MASK
         + AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK;
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
         new MouseListener(){....}, eventMask);

thank you alll
