how to get mouse position of a Java application?

Question

documentDOM.addEventListener("click", new EventListener() { public void handleEvent(Event evt) { if (evt.getType().equals("click")) { System.out.println("hello"); MouseEvent mouseIvent = (MouseEvent) evt; int screenX = mouseIvent.getXOnScreen(); int screenY = mouseIvent.getYOnScreen(); System.out.println("screen(X,Y) = " + screenX + "\t" + screenY); } } }, true);

I need to locate a specific pixel location on my Java application. This Java application can be windowed or maximized window.

My code somehow doesn't return the integers. this event does fire as hello message is spit out.

You have to add a MouseListener on your component to listen for mouse events on the component — Alpine

The key is that you must add a MouseListener to the component which will report the click locations:

public class LocationPrinter extends MouseAdapter { public static void main(String args[]) { JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 200)); panel.addMouseListener(new LocationPrinter()); JFrame frame = new JFrame("Location Window"); frame.getContentPane().add(panel); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); } @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) { int screenX = me.getXOnScreen(); int screenY = me.getYOnScreen(); System.out.println("screen(X,Y) = " + screenX + "," + screenY); } }
