I am doing a sketch that controls the mouse on my pc.
I have the mouse moving fine with
robby.mouseMove(xx, yy);
I need to be able to do a left mouse click, left double click, and left mouse drag as well but I am confused as to how to implement the mousePress and mouseRelease commands
The method sheet reads:
mousePresspublic void mousePress(int buttons)
- Presses one or more mouse buttons. The mouse buttons should be released using the
mouseReleasemethod.
- Parameters:
buttons- the Button mask; a combination of one or more of these flags:
InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASKInputEvent.BUTTON2_MASKInputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if the button mask is not a valid combination- See Also:
mouseRelease(int)
mouseRelease
public void mouseRelease(int buttons)
- Releases one or more mouse buttons.
- Parameters:
buttons- the Button mask; a combination of one or more of these flags:
InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASKInputEvent.BUTTON2_MASKInputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if the button mask is not a valid combination- See Also:
mousePress(int)

- I am new to this and don't understand the terminology so terms like MASK and FLAGS probably are the answer to my question but I don't know what they mean.
- Can someone help??? I did not see anything on the forum about dealing with mouse clicks....only mouse movement so this might be a good thread for other newbies as well..
