Re: [Jmri-developers] Mouse Handling - Windows/Unix/MAC

[Ken C. <kca...@st...>]

And the reason why all the events in 'normal' Windows things are on the mouseRelease is to give you a chance to go 'oops'. Like if I click on something, and then decide that wasn't the one I wanted, I just move the mouse to a background or something and then release. At least that's for non-modifier mouse clicks, the click and the release must both go to the same object in the screen. I don't recall seeing that in documents but that's how it seemed to work for me in most Windows applications I work with.

Modified mouse clicks seem to have more varied reactions.

But even in Windows there are a lot of variations it would seem. And that's excluding if somebody is using any of the 'universal access' tools for the handicapped.
