Get value on clicking jprogressbar

Question

I am trying to make a player in java.

Have made a seekbar using jprogressbar as shown in this link in Andrew Thompson's answer,

I have been able to add a mouselistener and detect click on jprogressbar, but how do I get the selected value of jprogressbar to which I will seek my bar to?

I tried,

progressBar.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {            
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
           int v = progressBar.getSelectedValue();
       jlabel.setText("----"+v);
      }                                     
});

But didn't work as I expected, could not even find anything on internet.

Please help me. Thanks for your time and effort, really appreciated.

You would probably have to calculate the location on the JProgressBar based solely on the mouse click co-ordinates. You could essential do this:

progressBar.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {            
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
       int v = progressBar.getValue();
       jlabel.setText("----"+v);

       //Retrieves the mouse position relative to the component origin.
       int mouseX = e.getX();

       //Computes how far along the mouse is relative to the component width then multiply it by the progress bar's maximum value.
       int progressBarVal = (int)Math.round(((double)mouseX / (double)progressBar.getWidth()) * progressBar.getMaximum());

       progressBar.setValue(progressBarVal);
  }                                     
});
