I'm trying to get the mouse's position within a panel, as in the top left of the panel = x/y 0,0.
What I have at the minute gives the position on the entire screen, so depending on where the panel (which is in a frame) is on the screen, the coordinates are different. I guess you could add to the x/y co-ordinates to account for this, but this seems like a messy solution. Can anyone help?
Here's the mouseListener I'm using, which has been added to the panel.
private class MouseListener extends MouseAdapter
{
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
// Finds the location of the mouse
PointerInfo a = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();
Point b = a.getLocation();
// Gets the x -> and y co-ordinates
int x = (int) b.getX();
int y = (int) b.getY();
System.out.println("Mouse x: " + x);
System.out.println("Mouse y: " + y);
// Determines which tile the click occured on
int xTile = x/tileSize;
int yTile = y/tileSize;
System.out.println("X Tile: " + xTile);
System.out.println("Y Tile: " + yTile);
}
}
Returns the x,y position of the event relative to the source component.
