[QUOTE="Guest, post: 2768280"]
I had a little demo standalone applet with a working mouse listener. I 
am now trying to have it work in a Swing Japplet, but I can't.

The working example has

public class myApplet13 extends Applet implements MouseListener {

then in the applet init method I have

addMouseListener(this);

then in the applet paint method I have some custom image drawing

g2.drawImage(img,xoff,yoff,null) ;

and finally I have a mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) method which does some 
basic things like reading the screen coordinates and returning the image 
coordinates, and the value (in physical units) in the array underlying 
the displayed image  (so far prints to stdout, I use appletviewer for 
testing)

In the non working case I have

public class myApplet17 extends JApplet {

The init method is the standard swing thing from the tutorial which
uses SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() to run realMain() ;

this in turn invokes a custom class

private void realMain() {
    myGui=new myGui();
    myGui.setOpaque(true);
    setContentPane(myGui);
  }

which defines a top tabbed pane and a bottom text area

class myGui extends JPanel {
  JTextArea msg;
  JComponent tabPane;

myGui() {
     super(new BorderLayout());
     JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
     tabPane = new myTabPane();   
     ...
     msg = new JTextArea(20,80) ;
     panel.add(msg);   
     ...

the tabbed pane consist of 4 tabs

class myTabPane extends JPanel implements myListener {
 
     myDisplay panel1 ;

public  myTabPane() {
    super(new GridLayout(1, 1));
    JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
 
  // first tab is main display
    panel1 = new myDisplay() ;

of which the first panel is an invocation of a class corresponding to 
the former standalone applet

class myDisplay extends JPanel { //  implements MouseListener ?? {

namely its paintComponent(Graphics g) method is the equivalent of the 
standalone applet custom image painting (which works)

I have a custom interface

interface myListener extends 
 ActionListener,PropertyChangeListener,ItemListener {

which collects the listeners used by the various buttons etc. in the 
tabbed pane

I tried adding MouseListener there, or to the myDisplay (commented 
above)

interface myListener extends 
 ActionListener,PropertyChangeListener,ItemListener,MouseListener {

and to place addMouseListener(this);  in different places, but in all 
cases I get no effect.

Where should I do this ?
