Request: could a simple java-swing application be added, that showcases three mouse button events, namely: left-mouse button click event, middle-mouse button click event, right-mouse button click event?

Hello Atsuhiro-san,

I am currently improving my local knowledge of Java Swing, but
indirectly via jruby - so I kind of use ruby as a "simplifier".

I recently had a use case to find out how to respond to mouse
events, e. g. "on left mouse click, select the full entry",
typically on a JTextField widget.

Now I did google-search and got some results, but many StackOverflow
answers are outdated. So my second attempt was to visit the
great github resource here. More specifically, I actually used:

https://ateraimemo.com/Swing.html

There is a TON of information available there - it is probably
one of the best, if not the best, resource available, so thank
you for maintaining this. I haven't read through all tips so far,
only perhaps ... 1% or so. Anyway.

The first question or objective I had was: where to find mouse
related information on that website?

So I next went to this URL:

https://ateraimemo.com/?cmd=list

To try to get an overview of all commands available.

I then searched for "mouse"; results would include:

Swing/DisableMiddleMouseClickPaste
Swing/DividerMouseEvent
Swing/HorizontalMouseWheel
Swing/ListMouseSelection
Swing/MouseDrivenImageRotation
Swing/MouseInfo
Swing/MouseOverPainter
Swing/MouseWheel
Swing/MouseWheelScroll
Swing/MouseWheelTabCycling
Swing/OnlyLeftMouseButtonDrag

This is good, but it seems as if having a dedicated
widget with mouse-specific events may not exist in a
standalone-application, including doing certain
actions based on mouse events - specifically left-mouse
button click event, middle-mouse button click event,
right-mouse button click event.

Perhaps a new java-swing application could be added
that showcase all mouse-events, in a simple manner.

Your time is most likely limited so I don't want to
suggest anything that takes your time away; perhaps
a simpler application, just showing left-mouse,
middle-mouse and right-mouse event may be useful,
on a swing-widget that people may commonly interact
with (e. g. the best here is probably something the
user can input text into, as this is quite a common
task, next to clicking a button).

At any rate, thank you for reading this; please do
feel free to close this issue at any moment in time
for any reason.

Thanks for your suggestion.

As for "all mouse-events," the following sample demo app from the Swing tutorial seems like a good reference:

• How to Write a Mouse Listener (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With Swing > Writing Event Listeners)

specifically left-mouse button click event, middle-mouse button click event, and right-mouse button click event.

However, the sample demo only explains how to distinguish between the left, middle, and right mouse buttons, and does not implement it. It would be interesting to create a basic sample that supplements the following points:

• Demos of MouseEvent#getButton(), MouseEvent#getModifiers(), MouseEvent#getModifiersEx(), etc.
• Demos of SwingUtilities#isLeftMouseButton(MouseEvent), SwingUtilities#isMiddleMouseButton(MouseEvent), and SwingUtilities#isRightMouseButton(MouseEvent)

I'll probably be able to add it next month or so.

Thank you very much.
