Java Swing/GUI Tutorial- Mouse Action Listeners - Creating MouseListeners

This tutorial will show you how to create MouseListeners. These can be used to detect when the mouse has been pressed down, clicked, released and others.

You can use MouseListeners to create many programs, for example, a program where the user draws his own shape on a canvas (like PCPaint). Hope you enjoy

I like how you breathe directly into the microphone. It gives definition to your voice.

These are some of the best Java Tutorials on the Planet.
Nevertheless, I agree with those who suggest that you get a better voice mic.
For example, find a block of foam. Packing foam for example. Dig out a cavity in the block and stick you mic into the foam block. This should reduce the distortion and remove all explosive breathing into the mic.
I emphasize that your tutorials are very good indeed. Good Luck to You.

Thanks for the help. For future reference, you should put the code you type into a PasteBin and then link it just so it's easier to see the code as a whole. Just a suggestion, thanks a bunch!!

Hello Sir, I need help. I want to customize mouse controls, I want to give graphics effect like change mouse cursor and it should draw some fancy circles around any mouse click. But drawing should be directly on screen not on jpanel exactly like in this video your mouse click shows classic effects on every click, anywhere on screen

Problem I found: Sometimes when you "Click" and you have moved the mouse during the "Click" the dot will not appear. Simply changing mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) to mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) fixed this...in case anyone else had this problem..

You should number your video's man.. :)

my ears died in the first 2 seconds of the video, had to turn down volume to half of what normal is. :/

ok now... the tutorial is useful and thank you for that, but next time you could put your microphone even deeper in your mouth. man that's just annoying how you breathe into mic I barely made myself listen the video to the end :(

I think you should get that mic out of your mouth.
