System mouse event

[terry]

Could anyone tell me how to capture mouse movement event of the whole
application? That means I need to capture mouse movement events
whereever in every dialog or frame of the application.

Thanks!

What happens if you add a MouseListener to the master JFrame?

If I enter a modal dialog from the frame, mouse events stop to be captured.

I dont think there is any really simple solution to this. Why do you
need to do it?

I would suggest that you look up how the awt event queue is handled
and try to hook into it (push a new event queue that you control
perhaps).
