Class MouseDownEvent

java.lang.Object

com.oorian.messaging.events.client.ClientEvent<MouseClickListener>
com.oorian.messaging.events.client.MouseEvent
com.oorian.messaging.events.client.MouseDownEvent
public class MouseDownEvent extends MouseEvent
Represents a mouse button press (down) event that occurs when a user presses a mouse button over an element.

This event is fired when the user presses down on a mouse button while the pointer is over an element, before the button is released. It extends MouseEvent to inherit coordinate tracking capabilities and is dispatched to registered MouseListener instances for processing.

Features:

  • Captures mouse button press with client coordinates
  • Inherits X and Y coordinate tracking from MouseEvent
  • Part of the mouse interaction lifecycle (down, move, up)
  • Integrates with the mouse event listener pattern

Usage:


 // Create a mouse down event at coordinates (200, 300)
 MouseDownEvent event = new MouseDownEvent(200, 300);

 // Access inherited coordinate getters
 int x = event.getClientX(); // Returns 200
 int y = event.getClientY(); // Returns 300

 // Dispatch to a listener
 event.dispatchTo(myMouseListener);
