Mouse Events

• Use a mouse listener to capture mouse events
• Implement the MouseListener interface:

  public interface MouseListener
  {
     void mousePressed(MouseEvent event);
     // Called when a mouse button has been pressed on a component
     void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event);
     // Called when a mouse button has been released on a component
     void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event);
     // Called when the mouse has been clicked on a component
     void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event);
     // Called when the mouse enters a component
     void mouseExited(MouseEvent event);
     // Called when the mouse exits a component
  }

• mousePressed, mouseReleased: called when a mouse button is pressed or released
• mouseClicked: if button is pressed and released in quick succession, and mouse hasn't moved
• mouseEntered, mouseExited: mouse has entered or exited the component's area
