Mouse listener not working

[shadowmonk]

Hi all,
Having a little trouble with getting this mouse listener to work, and I am ripping my hair out cause I can't see what in the world the problem is, any help would be appreciated!

public class MainWindow extends JFrame implements MouseListener
{    
    private Canvas renderCanvas;
    
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
    public MainWindow()
    {
        super( "Game" );
        // Exit the program when we close the window for god's sake!
        setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        // We don't want to repaint when the OS says we need to
        setIgnoreRepaint( true );
        
        addMouseListener( this );
        //addMouseMotionListener(myListener);
        
        GraphicsEnvironment ge = 
                            GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
        
        // Setup the Canvas
        renderCanvas = new Canvas()
        {
            public Dimension getPreferredSize()
            {
                return new Dimension( 1024, 768 );
            }
        };
        
        add( "Center", renderCanvas );
        pack();
        
        // Put the window in the center of the screen
        Point cp = ge.getCenterPoint();
        cp.translate( -getWidth()/2, -getHeight()/2 );
        setLocation( cp.x, cp.y );
        
        setResizable( false );
        setVisible( true );
        renderCanvas.createBufferStrategy( 2 );
    }
    
    public BufferStrategy getBufferStrategy()
    {
        return (renderCanvas == null) ? super.getBufferStrategy()
                                      : renderCanvas.getBufferStrategy();
    }
    
    public Dimension getDimensions()
    {
        return (renderCanvas == null)  ? super.getSize() 
                                       : renderCanvas.getSize();
    }
    
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event)
    {
        int test = 0;
    }

    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event)
    {
        int test = 0;
    }

    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event)
    {
    }

    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event)
    {
    }

    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event)
    {
        int test = 0;
    }

well what's it doing and what's it suppose to do instead?

Figured it out, when using a Canvas, you cannot just say addMouseListener( this ), you have to do canvasObject.addMouseListener( this ). So there ya have it.
