public interface MouseMotionListener extends EventListener
MouseListener
.)
The class that is interested in processing a mouse motion event
either implements this interface (and all the methods it
contains) or extends the abstract MouseMotionAdapter
class
(overriding only the methods of interest).
The listener object created from that class is then registered with a
component using the component's addMouseMotionListener
method. A mouse motion event is generated when the mouse is moved
or dragged. (Many such events will be generated). When a mouse motion event
occurs, the relevant method in the listener object is invoked, and
the MouseEvent
is passed to it.

void |
mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
Invoked when a mouse button is pressed on a component and then
dragged.
|
void |
mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
Invoked when the mouse cursor has been moved onto a component
but no buttons have been pushed.
|
void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
MOUSE_DRAGGED
events will continue to be
delivered to the component where the drag originated until the
mouse button is released (regardless of whether the mouse position
is within the bounds of the component).
Due to platform-dependent Drag&Drop implementations,
MOUSE_DRAGGED
events may not be delivered during a native
Drag&Drop operation.
