Parameters
sourcethe source that's invoking the event
positionthe position of the mouse, relative to the component that is passed-in
modifiersthe key modifiers at the time of the event
pressurethe pressure of the touch or stylus, in the range 0 to 1. Devices that do not support force information may return 0.0, 1.0, or a negative value, depending on the platform
eventComponentthe component that the mouse event applies to
originatorthe component that originally received the event
eventTimethe time the event happened
mouseDownPosthe position of the corresponding mouse-down event (relative to the component that is passed-in). If there isn't a corresponding mouse-down (e.g. for a mouse-move), this will just be the same as the current mouse-x position.
mouseDownTimethe time at which the corresponding mouse-down event happened If there isn't a corresponding mouse-down (e.g. for a mouse-move), this will just be the same as the current mouse-event time.
numberOfClickshow many clicks, e.g. a double-click event will be 2, a triple-click will be 3, etc

int MouseEvent::getMouseDownX ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the x coordinate of the last place that a mouse was pressed.

The coordinate is relative to the component specified in MouseEvent::component.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart, getDistanceFromDragStartX, mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown
int MouseEvent::getMouseDownY ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the y coordinate of the last place that a mouse was pressed.

The coordinate is relative to the component specified in MouseEvent::component.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart, getDistanceFromDragStartX, mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown
Point<int> MouseEvent::getMouseDownPosition ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the coordinates of the last place that a mouse was pressed.

The coordinates are relative to the component specified in MouseEvent::component.

int MouseEvent::getDistanceFromDragStart ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the straight-line distance between where the mouse is now and where it was the last time the button was pressed.

This is quite handy for things like deciding whether the user has moved far enough for it to be considered a drag operation.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStartX
int MouseEvent::getDistanceFromDragStartX ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the difference between the mouse's current x postion and where it was when the button was last pressed.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart
int MouseEvent::getDistanceFromDragStartY ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the difference between the mouse's current y postion and where it was when the button was last pressed.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart
Point<int> MouseEvent::getOffsetFromDragStart ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the difference between the mouse's current postion and where it was when the button was last pressed.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart
bool MouseEvent::mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the user seems to be performing a drag gesture.

This is only meaningful if called in either a mouseUp() or mouseDrag() method.

It will return true if the user has dragged the mouse more than a few pixels from the place where the mouse-down occurred.

Once they have dragged it far enough for this method to return true, it will continue to return true until the mouse-up, even if they move the mouse back to the same location at which the mouse-down happened. This means that it's very handy for objects that can either be clicked on or dragged, as you can use it in the mouseDrag() callback to ignore small movements they might make while trying to click.

bool MouseEvent::mouseWasClicked ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the mouse event is part of a click gesture rather than a drag.

This is effectively the opposite of mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown()

int MouseEvent::getNumberOfClicks ( ) const
noexcept

For a click event, the number of times the mouse was clicked in succession.

So for example a double-click event will return 2, a triple-click 3, etc.

int MouseEvent::getLengthOfMousePress ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the time that the mouse button has been held down for.

If called from a mouseDrag or mouseUp callback, this will return the number of milliseconds since the corresponding mouseDown event occurred. If called in other contexts, e.g. a mouseMove, then the returned value may be 0 or an undefined value.

bool MouseEvent::isPressureValid ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the pressure value for this event is meaningful.

Point<int> MouseEvent::getPosition ( ) const
noexcept

The position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This position is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

For a floating-point position, see MouseEvent::position

Referenced by LassoComponent< SelectableItemType >::dragLasso().

int MouseEvent::getScreenX ( ) const

Returns the mouse x position of this event, in global screen coordinates.

The coordinates are relative to the top-left of the main monitor.

MouseEvent MouseEvent::getEventRelativeTo ( Component newComponent) const
noexcept

Creates a version of this event that is relative to a different component.

The x and y positions of the event that is returned will have been adjusted to be relative to the new component. The component pointer that is passed-in must not be null.

MouseEvent MouseEvent::withNewPosition ( Point< float >  newPosition) const
noexcept

Creates a copy of this event with a different position.

All other members of the event object are the same, but the x and y are replaced with these new values.

MouseEvent MouseEvent::withNewPosition ( Point< int >  newPosition) const
noexcept

Creates a copy of this event with a different position.

All other members of the event object are the same, but the x and y are replaced with these new values.

static void MouseEvent::setDoubleClickTimeout ( int  timeOutMilliseconds)
staticnoexcept

Changes the application-wide setting for the double-click time limit.

This is the maximum length of time between mouse-clicks for it to be considered a double-click. It's used by the Component class.

See also
getDoubleClickTimeout, MouseListener::mouseDoubleClick
static int MouseEvent::getDoubleClickTimeout ( )
staticnoexcept

Returns the application-wide setting for the double-click time limit.

This is the maximum length of time between mouse-clicks for it to be considered a double-click. It's used by the Component class.

Member Data Documentation

const Point<float> MouseEvent::position

The position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

This is a more accurate floating-point version of the position returned by getPosition() and the integer x and y member variables.

const int MouseEvent::x

The x-position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

For a floating-point coordinate, see MouseEvent::position

const int MouseEvent::y

The y-position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

For a floating-point coordinate, see MouseEvent::position

const ModifierKeys MouseEvent::mods

The key modifiers associated with the event.

This will let you find out which mouse buttons were down, as well as which modifier keys were held down.

When used for mouse-up events, this will indicate the state of the mouse buttons just before they were released, so that you can tell which button they let go of.

Referenced by LassoComponent< SelectableItemType >::dragLasso().

float MouseEvent::pressure

The pressure of the touch or stylus for this event.

The range is 0 (soft) to 1 (hard). If the input device doesn't provide any pressure data, it may return a negative value here, or 0.0 or 1.0, depending on the platform.

Component* const MouseEvent::eventComponent

The component that this event applies to.

This is usually the component that the mouse was over at the time, but for mouse-drag events the mouse could actually be over a different component and the events are still sent to the component that the button was originally pressed on.

The x and y member variables are relative to this component's position.

If you use getEventRelativeTo() to retarget this object to be relative to a different component, this pointer will be updated, but originalComponent remains unchanged.

See also
originalComponent
Component* const MouseEvent::originalComponent

The component that the event first occurred on.

If you use getEventRelativeTo() to retarget this object to be relative to a different component, this value remains unchanged to indicate the first component that received it.

See also
eventComponent
const Time MouseEvent::eventTime

The time that this mouse-event occurred.

const Time MouseEvent::mouseDownTime

The time that the corresponding mouse-down event occurred.

MouseInputSource MouseEvent::source

The source device that generated this event.
