Clickable area

[Leonardo Fernandes]

Hi,
How do I make a clickable area on a frame, so that an event listener can react when the area is clicked?
Thanks

If you are using AWT, extend java.awt.Component and override paint() to mark the region. If you are using Swing, extend javax.swing.JComponent and override paintComponent(). In either case, use setBounds() to set the region's position and size and add a MouseListener to receive the mouse click.

Add a mouseListener to your component and check the coordinates that you want to using the MouseEvent's getX and getY methods.
