Add mouse events to Java Applet?

[madthinker]

Hi,

I need to add mouse events to my Java Applet. I know that Java has an event based structure, but I'm sure there must be some way of doing this. I have:

public class blobby extends Applet
{
public void paint (Graphics g)
{
// Some code in loop.
// Detect mouse click
}
}

Surely I can add something along the lines of:

|f(Applet.mouseclick == true)
{
// Do this
}

Can anyone guide me as to what that code might be?

"public class blobby extends Applet implements MouseListener"
Then you have to code the abstract methods required by the MouseListener interface type. Then, for the form elements that you want to use the MouseListener, you have to do "[element].addMouseListener([applet]);". The applet acts as the listener object because you told it to implement the interface. There's also KeyListener and ActionListener. You should import these:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
