If the trackpad button is clicked instead of a mouse, will MouseInputListener be triggered?

I am developing an application which requires user input. So far, I have the keyboard controls set up, but I need mouse click events. My UI class implements MouseInputListener. My question: if the trackpad button is clicked/moved rather than on a mouse, will the mouse events still be triggered? If not, how would I include the trackpad's input?

Solution

  • IT will. For the JVM, a trackpad and a mouse are basically the same thing.

    However, there is some unexpected behavior. For example, scrolling is sometimes interpreted as a click.
