Hi,

my JFrame consists of a JMenuBar, a JPanel which acts as a statusbar (SOUTH)
and a JSplitPane in the center. The statusbar extends MouseAdapter and I add
the mouse listener to the JRootPane of the JFrame
(this.getRootPane.addMouseListener (statusBar). Now my problem is if I click
on the JMenuBar (NOT on a menu) or on the statusbar the statusbar receives
the MouseEvent but if I click on anywhere on the JSplitPane it didn't!!!!
Is there any solution so that the statusbar receive the clicks. I already
added the mouse listener to the JSplitPane but this didn't worked either.

Do I have to add the mouse listener to all components?

thanks a lot
Guido
