AWT Native Interface

Hi!

I'm working on a Java graphical frontend for a native X11 application
and I'm trying to embed the native application window inside a Java AWT
Canvas using the AWT Native Interface. Everything works great except
for mouse events which seems to be ignored by the native window.
Keyboard events are handled correctly though...

Is there a way to force mouse events to be passed to the native window
(I can see them from the Canvas)?

Thanks

Christian

You will have to field events and figure out which ones are yours and
which belong to the native. Then pass on some to the native piece.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/event11.html

for how it all works. I have no experience with that particular
interface, but it seems logical it would work the same as any other
peer-type component.

Your Canvas is acting much like a Panel does for an embedded Canvas.

You might study Sun's code.
