Netscape problem with 2 button mouse on x86

XMLWordPrintable

    • x86
    • solaris_7

      Customer is developing and using his application on Solaris 2.7.(JDK 1.1.6). But his pop-up utility does'nt work well on x86, which works well on sparc. Clicking with the right mouse button of a 2-button mouse on the swing based applet doesn't produce the pop up menu it is supposed to.

      The application is written entirely in Swing 1.0.3; however, the way we are responding to mouse events is actually inherited from the old AWT: we override the processMouseEvent(MouseEvent e) method of a JTable. If e.isPopupTrigger() evaluates to TRUE, we display the popup menu. Even under the old AWT, this method is supposed to know which mouse button triggers the
      popup (i.e. button 2 for a 2-button mouse or button 3 for a 3-button mouse).

      Attached are a java file and the corresponding html to launch the applet. It seems that the problem only shows up with netscape (NSCPcom version 4.05.22.1)/(Even 4.5) using java plugin version 1.1.1

      The attached demos work with appletviewer and hotjava but fail with netscape on a two button mouse machine.


      mouseDemo.java:

      import com.sun.java.swing.*;
      import java.awt.*;
      import java.awt.event.*;



      public class mouseDemo extends JApplet {
        private static mouseFrame thisFrame;

        public static void main(String args[]) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setSize(200,100);
          thisFrame = new mouseFrame();
          frame.getContentPane().add(thisFrame);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          return;
        }

        public void init() {
          super.init();
          thisFrame = new mouseFrame();
          getContentPane().add(thisFrame);
          setVisible(true);
        }

          

        public static class mouseFrame extends JLabel {

          public mouseFrame() {
            super();
            setText("SYSTEM READY");
            setSize(100,50);
            enableEvents(AWTEvent.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK);
            setVisible(true);
          }

          public void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent e) {
            if(e.isPopupTrigger()) {
      setText("POPUP TRIGGER");
            }
            else {
      setText(" ");
            }
          }
        }
      }
