left and right clicking

[simon keillor]

I working on an application were i need to identify if a user has single or double clicked with the left or right mouse button on a JLabel. But all the is detected is a left click (single or double).

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
  if(e.getClickCount() >= 2)
  {
    if(e.isPopupTrigger())
      System.out.println("Double right click");
    else
      System.out.println("Double left click");
  }
  else
  {
    if(e.isPopupTrigger())
      System.out.println("Single right click");
    else
      System.out.println("Single left click");
  }  
}

What am I missingm the isPopupTrigger() function appears not to be working.

Cheers

Simon

Check out the note in the Method Detail section of the MouseEvent api for the isPopupTrigger method.

Hello sir,
Move ur code from mouseClicked to mouseReleased,
then it works fine
