Hi,

I have built a JPanel with lots of other small JPanels in it ("Thumbs"). Now 
I would like to have all mouseDragged() events on the thumbs to be treated 
as if they happenend on the JPanel they reside in.
I tried adding a MouseInputAdapter() to each of my thumbs but appearently I 
am missing something important since to mouseDragged() event of my outside 
JPanel is not being called. Can anybody help?

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent event)
    {
      dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(thumbPanel,
       MouseEvent.MOUSE_DRAGGED, event.getWhen(),
       event.getModifiers(), event.getX(), event.getY(), 1,
       false));
    }

Thanks.

The method above is in your subclass of JPanel, or did I misunderstand you?

You probably wanted to override method
    protected void processMouseMotionEvent(MouseEvent)
or
    public boolean mouseDrag(Event e, int x, int y)  // deprecated
of class Component.

Class JPanel has or inherits *no* method
   void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
Hence your method overrides nothing and therefore is not called.

Correct.

The method above is part of an inline implementation of a 
MouseMotionAdapter() and it is called. I didn't write that for some stupid 
reason. :-) Anyway it's working now since I was able to change the design 
and now it's a lot more simple.
