help!-mouse click

[daron]

I am trying to get the mouse x and y coordinates when clicked. I am able
to recognize the click in the handle events but cant get the coordinates.
I just want to assign the x and y values to two int variables.

[mikem]

in ur event handler:

private int x; //the x coordinate where the mouse was clicked
private int y; //the x coordinate where the mouse was clicked

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent hEvent)
{
Point pt = hEvent.getPoint();
x = (int)pt.getX(); //i believe getX() and getY() return doubles
so cast is necessary
y = (int)pt.getY();

/* rest of ur code */
}

This will get you the
Cheers,
Mike
