Mouse Motion listener can be registered with list instance? True/false?
Books says true.
explanation given: Mouse motion listener can be registered with all objects that
are instances of "container". Is list a container?
Or did the author actually mean component?
If the author did mean component..can mouse motion listener be registered with a
ll the components or are there any exceptions?

Hi Rex,
Yes the author meant Component. According to the API:


This low-level event is generated by a component object for:
Mouse Events
a mouse button is pressed
a mouse button is released
a mouse button is clicked (pressed and released)
the mouse cursor enters a component
the mouse cursor exits a component
Mouse Motion Events
the mouse is moved
the mouse is dragged


There are no exceptions to the components that can be registered. In some cases though, the component itself might not pass the event through in all cases or at all. If a component is developed using enableEvents, the mouse motion event could be consumed by the component (not passed to listeners).
Regards,
Manfred.
