mouse

Is it possible to detect a mouse click anywhere on a screen, outside of my application? I have written an application to do this in C#, but would like to write a version of this in Java so that it can be run on several platforms. It looks like I can get the co-ordinates of the mouse at any time with java.awt.MouseInfo.getPointerInfo() but I am not sure as to how to listen for a mouse click. In C# I used GetAsyncKeyState to detect whether the mouse button was clicked, but obviously I cannot use this if I wish to keep this "clean" for use in multiple platforms. You can do this only with platform

I'm trying to calculate cursor acceleration / velocity. I read Find the velocity of the mouse in C# and decided to take Hans's suggestion of using GetMouseMovePointsEx ( pinvoke.net , MSDN ). I made a demo program to test it out (see full code below) but it has a big limitation. It won't return points once the cursor leaves the window. In fact, the function returns -1 (win32Exception 1171, "The point passed to GetMouseMovePoints is not in the buffer") if execution isn't limited to points within the MainWindow. I suspect this may be because I'm using Mouse.GetPosition() to provide the mp_in

I have a button that will change from black to gray when you hover over, I do this with setRolloverIcon(ImageIcon); . Is there any easy way to make a boolean equals to true while the mouse cursor hovers over the JButton or would I have to use a MouseMotionListener to check the position of the mouse cursor? Is there any easy way to make a boolean equals to true while the mouse cursor hovers over the JButton you can to add ChangeListener to ButtonModel , e.g. JButton.getModel().addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() { @Override public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) { ButtonModel model =

I have a fixed player in center of the screen and for now I'm moving the background and the elements in the opposite direction to give the illusion of moving forward with the directional keys. But now, I want to detect the position of the mouse and deplace the player in the direction of the mouse (as in the game agar.io for example) and that the acceleration depends on the distance with the object (the further the mouse is, the faster the player moves forward and if the mouse is on the player,he does not advance anymore) My program work like this : keys = pygame.key.get_pressed() if keys

I'm looking for a way in Java to read in raw mouse input and not just the event listeners. I'll tell you what I'm doing. Essentially, there is a game where if you move the mouse to the right, I want Java to send key signals of the 'd' key being pushed down, and when the mouse is moved to the left, the 'a' key being held down. But, when you move the mouse, the game quickly corrects the mouse position and sends it right back into the middle of the screen. So, if you use mouse listener, you get one event of the mouse being moved to the right, then another quickly following of the mouse being move

If I move my mouse inside a javax.swing.JFrame , the javax.swing.Timer stops calling the actionPerformed() method until the mouse stops moving. It only occurs when I move the cursor with my Rocket Kone XTD mouse. When I use my trackpad everything is fine. How can I fix it? I'm using macOS Sierra. Here's my code: import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.Timer; public class Mouse { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setSize(500, 500); frame.setVisible(true); Timer timer = new
