* A wheel mouse is a mouse which has a wheel in place of the middle button. * This wheel can be rotated towards or away from the user. Mouse wheels are * most often used for scrolling, though other uses are possible. *

* A MouseWheelEvent object is passed to every MouseWheelListener * object which registered to receive the "interesting" mouse events using the * component's addMouseWheelListener method. Each such listener * object gets a MouseEvent containing the mouse event. *

* Due to the mouse wheel's special relationship to scrolling Components, * MouseWheelEvents are delivered somewhat differently than other MouseEvents. * This is because while other MouseEvents usually affect a change on * the Component directly under the mouse * cursor (for instance, when clicking a button), MouseWheelEvents often have * an effect away from the mouse cursor (moving the wheel while * over a Component inside a ScrollPane should scroll one of the * Scrollbars on the ScrollPane). *

* MouseWheelEvents start delivery from the Component underneath the * mouse cursor. If MouseWheelEvents are not enabled on the * Component, the event is delivered to the first ancestor * Container with MouseWheelEvents enabled. This will usually be * a ScrollPane with wheel scrolling enabled. The source * Component and x,y coordinates will be relative to the event's * final destination (the ScrollPane). This allows a complex * GUI to be installed without modification into a ScrollPane, and * for all MouseWheelEvents to be delivered to the ScrollPane for * scrolling. *

* Some AWT Components are implemented using native widgets which * display their own scrollbars and handle their own scrolling. * The particular Components for which this is true will vary from * platform to platform. When the mouse wheel is * moved over one of these Components, the event is delivered straight to * the native widget, and not propagated to ancestors. *

* Platforms offer customization of the amount of scrolling that * should take place when the mouse wheel is moved. The two most * common settings are to scroll a certain number of "units" * (commonly lines of text in a text-based component) or an entire "block" * (similar to page-up/page-down). The MouseWheelEvent offers * methods for conforming to the underlying platform settings. These * platform settings can be changed at any time by the user. MouseWheelEvents * reflect the most recent settings. * * @author Brent Christian * @version 1.9 12/19/03 * @see MouseWheelListener * @see java.awt.ScrollPane * @see java.awt.ScrollPane#setWheelScrollingEnabled(boolean) * @see javax.swing.JScrollPane * @see javax.swing.JScrollPane#setWheelScrollingEnabled(boolean) * @since 1.4 */ public class MouseWheelEvent extends MouseEvent { private static final DebugHelper dbg = DebugHelper.create(MouseWheelEvent.class); /** * Constant representing scrolling by "units" (like scrolling with the * arrow keys) * * @see #getScrollType */ public static final int WHEEL_UNIT_SCROLL = 0; /** * Constant representing scrolling by a "block" (like scrolling * with page-up, page-down keys) * * @see #getScrollType */ public static final int WHEEL_BLOCK_SCROLL = 1; /** * Indicates what sort of scrolling should take place in response to this * event, based on platform settings.
