I would like to display a rectangle on a canvas and have it respond to
a mouse click. I tried the following and it does not work - the
rectangle does not draw when used as the contents of the Clickable.
Could somone please explain what it means for a Clickable to have
contents. I assumed that the contents of a clickable would the the
figure shown and that the Clickable would simply be a wrapper on top of
the figure handling the mouse actions, but it seems that's not the case.

Canvas canvas = new Canvas(parent, SWT.NONE);
LightweightSystem lws = new LightweightSystem(canvas);
Figure root = new Figure();
RectangleFigure rect = new RectangleFigure();
Clickable click = new Clickable(rect);
click.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
System.out.println("actionPerformed()");
}
});

rect.setBounds(new Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 100));
root.add(click);
lws.setContents(root);

Hi Bryan,

AN other way to achieve what you want is by adding a Draw2D MouseListener
to your rectangle.

The MouseListener interface allows you to respond to mouse up, mouse down
and mouse double click events.

Hope this help

Hello Bryan,
You may like to have a look at
org.eclipse.draw2d.LightweightSystem class.

Hallo Bryan,

use addMouseListener:

rect.addMouseListener(new MouseListener.Stub(){
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
System.out.println("Mouse pressed on rect:" +"
x-Pos:"+me.x+" y-Pos:"+me.y);
});

Hope that helps.

cheers
Gerhard
