Probably the easiest way to do this is to set up a mouse motion listener. The problem with that approach is that listeners are component specific: if you set it up at the frame level, when the mouse goes over a component, you won't get the event. You can set it up for each component then translate the values at the component level (as they are relative to the parent). Not a pretty picture, I agree, if you are trying to get the location no matter where the mouse goes. Tad Frysinger [TeamB]
