how to get the mouse's position

Hello!
how i can get the mouse's position without listening a mouse event?

Thanks!

If you use jdk1.5, you can use the MouseInfo object, for details, please visit:

Hope that helps!

but how to do in jdk1.4?

Use native methods.

Why would you not want to implement MouseMotionListener?

Because i'm listening to a TreeSelectionEvent,and when a event occurs ,the
system want to popup a menu at the mouse's position, so i want to know the
position without listening to a mouse event.
is there any other solution?
Thanks!

TreeSelectionEvent provides a TreePath of the selected nodes of the tree. You can then call the following methods of JTree to get information about the coordinates of the TreePath that was selected.

- getPathBounds( TreePath ) returns a Rectangle that gives you the bounds of the path.

- getRowForPath( TreePath ) returns the index of the selected row, and then you can use getRowBounds( int ) to get the bounds of that row.

You can use either of these methods to calculate a good point to launch a popup menu. Neither gives you the exact point that the mouse is at, but it really doesn't matter - all you want to do is pop up a menu on the selected nodes in the tree.

Thank you!
