Method Detail

mousePressed

boolean mousePressed(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called when a mouse button is pressed down.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)

mouseReleased

boolean mouseReleased(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called when a mouse button is released.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)

mouseEntered

boolean mouseEntered(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called when a mouse button is pressed down.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)

mouseExited

boolean mouseExited(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called when a mouse button is pressed down.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)

mouseMoved

boolean mouseMoved(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called if the mouse is moved over the component while no mouse button is pressed. If a button is pressed, mouseDragged(TICMouseEvent) is called instead.

In contrast to drag events this event is only fired, if the mouse is located over the component.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)

mouseDragged

boolean mouseDragged(TICMouseEvent event)

This method is called if the mouse is moved over the component while a mouse button is held down. If no button is pressed, mouseMoved(TICMouseEvent) is called instead.

Note that drag events are still fired if the mouse has already left the component until the according mouse button is released.

Parameters:

event - the object containing information about the event

Returns:

true if the event was consumed by this listener, false otherwise (See TICComponent for information on how the return value is used.)
