RE: [ jEdit-devel ] mouseover

[Dan T. <dte...@op...>]

ok, I'm starting to catch on here, but very slowly. I think I figured out
how to do the word selection by using JEditTextArea.xyToOffset() after
getting the x and y from the mouse event. However, now I can't figure out
where to stick the darned mouse listener. I extended MouseMotionAdapter, and
tried to attach it to a view, a JTextEditArea, and an EditPane. The closest
I got to success was with the view, but that only reported the event when my
mouse left the text area. 

So, before I pull my hair out, have you any suggestions?


code snippet:


	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
		View v = EditAction.getView(evt);
		Buffer b = (v == null) ? null : v.getBuffer();

		if (v != null && b != null) {
			POLDebuggerPlugin POLDebuggerPlugin = new
POLDebuggerPlugin();
			EditPane editPane = v.getEditPane();
		        JEditTextArea textArea = editPane.getTextArea();
		        Log.log(Log.WARNING, this, "About to set the
listener!");
                
		        
		        textArea.addMouseMotionListener(new
DebugMouseListener(v,b));
		     
		}
