JButton auto click

[patrick]

I want to use a JButton like this: when a user leaves the mouse pointer in a
fixed position over the button a click is generated without the user having
to do the mousepress.

Ive got an array of JButtons on a JPanel that i would like to have this
property.

Anybody know of a java code snippet that would help in doing this.

Or is there an easy way of doing this?

TIA
patrick

Wonder if this

If I were to see an app/applet with this behavior, I'd probably refuse
to use it. But you should be able to do it if you're really insistent.

One way might be this. Since JButton inherits from Component, you can
add a MouseListener to it. When you get a mouseEntered event, you could
set up a timer (if you want a delay) and start it, and then stop the
timer on mouseExit. And the timer's job would essentially be to call
doClick() on the button.
