getting mouse click events of a JPanel

[Allan Bruce]

I want to be able to detect when a mouse button is clicked in my JPanel.
The code below seems to only work for the forw where no components are. How
do I change this so that I can get the events for the JPanel? Also, is
there a way to determine at what co-ordinates the JPanel is at, i.e. the
upper-left and the lower-right ?
Thanks
Allan

// in constructor
addMouseListener(this);

// elsewhere
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
if (e.getButton() == e.BUTTON1) // left mouse click
{
System.out.print("Left ");
}
else
capturing = false;
System.out.print("Button Clicked\n");
}

To get notifications of all such clicks, you'd need to add the
MouseListener to all of the components in that tree. Alternatively, you
can temporarily intercept all mouse clicks in an area by using a
JRootPane and making the glass pane visible.

Further comment would require knowing what you want to accomplish.
