Hi,

Does anyone know of way of setting up a java app so that a instead of
mouse movements being used to update the pointer, the mouse move could
be used to update, say, the viewport of a document?

An example in more detail;
what I want to do is use the mouse MOVE event that is caused by the
movement of the mouse, but not update the pointer position (I would
like the pointer to remain still or be invisble) but to allow me to
update the viewport on a document.  ie, user presses a 'trigger' key
to put the code into a receptive mode, then all subsequent mouse
movements (triggering mouse MOVE events) can be captured and used to
update the viewport location- ie, mouse moves left, pointer remains
still, viewport moves left.

I don't know if this is possible due to the OS independance that java
has.  Maybe a solution involves the glass-pane in some (I am not
familiar with the glass- yet.  It is one of my avenues to search...)

Thanks for any ideas...   mucho thanks for any code examples....

M.
