    Default Add MouseClickEvent for a X/Y-Coordinate (JFrame)

    Hello Everyone

    I Google'd for a solution to my problem, but I couldnt find anything

    I want to add a MouseClickEvent for my GUI, but only for a small part of my JFrame.

    I made it work with a Invisible Button, but for several reasons I'd like to add the Event in the JFrame.

    Is there a Method with which I can define a range from the X/Y-Coordinates of the JFrame?

    Sorry for my imperfect english

    Thx
    Student_27

    If you want to have a listener only respond to clicks in a selected area, add some if tests for detecting where the click was done and ignore it if the click is not in the desired area.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Can you write me some Code as an Example?

    The MouseEvent class has some methods that return the x and y values for the location of the mouse click.
    Get those values and compare them against the bounds of area where the program wants to use the clicks.
