Hi,
I have a parent Composite which may have many children covering partially or
completely all the available area (maybe Trees, buttons, or anything else).
Knowing only the parent composite, is there a way to get notified if either
one of the children or the composite itself has been clicked?
I obviously tried:
parentComposite.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseDown(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Mouse down");
}
});
I receive notifications when the composite is clicked, but I receive nothing
when one of the composite's children is clicked.
I know there is a way to achieve this because, when you click on a SWT
control in an Eclipse view (or editor), the view is automatically activated.
Thanks for any hint,
John.

John,
you have to catch untyped event
see

Thanks for your answer,
I tried that, the snippet works fine but if I remove the
composite.setEnabled (false) line (because I don't want my main composite to
be disabled), I don't receive mouse events any more when I click on a
composite's child.
I want to reproduce exactly the same effect as Eclipse: when you click
anywhere inside a Workbench part (even on widgets), the part gets activated.
thanks for any other hints ;),

I finally found a way (if there is a better way, please tell me ;) ) using
the Display.addFilter method:
// This hack is needed to be notified when a panel is clicked (the panel
itself or one of its children)
displayListener = new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
if (isExpanded() && isVisible()) {
// We convert the mouse widget relative coordinates to display
coordinates
Point clickedPoint = ((Control) event.widget).toDisplay(event.x,
event.y);
// We convert the panel bounds to display coordinates
Rectangle panelBounds = getClientArea();
Point location = toDisplay(panelBounds.x, panelBounds.y);
panelBounds.x = location.x;
panelBounds.y = location.y;
if (panelBounds.contains(clickedPoint)) {
System.out.println("Widget:" + event.widget.toString() + " x:" +
clickedPoint.x + ", y:" + clickedPoint.y + ", rect:" + panelBounds);
// We notify the listeners of the panelActivated Event
for (ExpandablePanelListener listener : listeners)
listener.panelActivated(ExpandablePanel.this);
}
}
}
};
// We add the previously created listener to the display
getDisplay().addFilter(SWT.MouseDown, displayListener);
