Java's gui event system.

[Arto Pastinen]

Hello!

How does java's event system internal works?

I'm implementing 3d engine with java, and i want catch mouse events in my polygon. Is it possible without Components?? Or actually i want implement my own class, which behaves like Componet.

Hi,

You can attach action listeners (or any listeners) for a GUI component. You can have your own custom component if you wish.

Internally, the events that get generated on the UI because of user actions, are queued and then piblished on to the listeners that have registered to listen to those components' acions. You may read the EventQueue class which might make things more clear.

And one more suggestion. Its better if you change your display name before Jessica notices it

Ok. Thnx! I will change my name for Jessica, but it is very common in finland that people have this kind surnames, like "The Great", "Best of"... yeah..

"Arto"-
I appreciate your attempt to change your name but its not quite right -- our naming policy needs you to have a first and a last name... AND it should be not obviuosly ficitious. As I'm sure you know, you can change your display name here.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Our Swing/AWT forum is the best place to ask questions about events and components and such. I'll move this over there for you.
