java.awt.event
Interface MouseListener
- public interface MouseListener
The listener interface for receiving "interesting" mouse events / pen Events
(press, release, click) on a component.
The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
component using the component's addMouseListener method. A mouse event is
generated when the mouse is pressed, released clicked (pressed and released).
A mouse event is also generated when the mouse cursor enters or leaves a
component. When a mouse event occurs the relevant method in the listener
object is invoked, and the MouseEvent is passed to it.
