| No mouseListener in SWT Browser [message #461706] |

Although the SWT API includes mouseListener events for the SWT Browser,
they do not work. That is the subject of Bug Report 49696, which seems to
have been open for a very long time. This seems to be quite a significant
bug and I am surprised it has not been fixed.
But if I interpret the API correctly, there is an additional issue.
There seems to be no method to capture text selected by such a mouse event
anyway. For example, even if a doubleClick triggered a mouse event, there
is no browser.getSelected() method to get the text selected by the double
click.
Do I understand this correctly, or am I missing something?
Thanks.

Here is the text of Bug Report 49696:
When using the SWT Browser widget the mouse events (mouseDown, mouseUp,
mouseDoubleClick) do not fire after adding a mouselistener to the Browser
widget (browser.addMouseListener). This can be recreated by creating a
browser widget object with the mouse listener and then clicking inside of
the
browser window.

Hi Phil,
Mouse events should be investigated in the 3.2 timeframe.
There's currently no content querying/manipulation api beyond
setText(String). The closest request that exists for something like this,
excluding the implementation of a full DOM component, is cut/copy/paste (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75815 ), which would work on
the current selection.

Hello Grant,
That is good news about mouse events. However, what would be the point
of implementing a mouse doubleClick event if there was no method to do
something with the doubleClicked target?
I notice that after highlighting with a double click, that a right
mouse click (or cntl^C) will copy and right-mouse-paste (or cntl^V) will
paste. So maybe not much would be required for a browser.getSelected()
method to be added.
Thanks.
