Dispatch MouseEvent

Is there a way to dispatch MouseEvent, same as dispatchKeyEvent using the KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(listener); that happens before the event transferred to the component ?

I know I have 2 options

1) add mouse event to all compoenents recursive

2) use a transparent glasspane

Does Java support this , or do I have to use the one of the options above?

thank you

Solution

  • what i finally did was 

    long  eventMask = AWTEvent.MOUSE_MOTION_EVENT_MASK
         + AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK;
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
         new MouseListener(){....}, eventMask);

    thank you alll
