How can I get the events from a java program?

Hi,

To put a monitor to the events occuring in the GHUI u need to register required components with the appropriate EventListeners.

Liek if u want to get notified when a mouse is clicked, then u need to add The MouseListener to the component which u want to be monitored.

Say

myFrame which is the JFrame object which shuld be monitored for the events.

Then in ur program u have to add following code

myFrame.addMouseListener( someObectReference );

Here the someObjectReference should be an instance to a concrete class ..i.e. U write a class like the following

public class MyMouseListener implements MouseListener {

//override the followig methods

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){ sop("MOUSE CLICKED ON THE FRAME");}

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){}

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){}

....

...

...

}

If u dont want to use another class for listening to the events. Then u can make teh current class monitor the events. To do so ur class should implement the appropriate listener and should override the required methods.

and u should say myFrame.addMouseListenet( this );

thats it
