Title of Experiment Write a program to demonstrate various mouse events using

MouseListener and MouseMotion listener interface.

 Program code
1. Write a program code to generate the following output

Ans:
import java.applet.Applet;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

/* <APPLET CODE ="MouseDemo" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=200> </APPLET> */

public class MouseDemo extends Applet implements MouseListener {

Label l;

public void init() {

setLayout(null);

l = new Label("Hello Mouse");

l.setBounds(50, 150, 200, 30); // Adjusted height for better visibility

 add(l);

addMouseListener(this);

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {

l.setText("Mouse Pressed; # of clicks: " + e.getClickCount() + " at position: " +

e.getX() + ", " + e.getY());

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {

l.setText("Mouse Released; # of clicks: " + e.getClickCount());

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {

l.setText("Mouse Entered");

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {

l.setText("Mouse Exited");

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

l.setText("Mouse Clicked; # of clicks: " + e.getClickCount());

Output:
 Practical Related Question
1. List various methods of MouseListener and MouseMotionListener.
Answer:

a) mousePressed
b) mouseReleased
c) mouseEntered
d) mouseExited
e) mouseClicked

2. Do all components generate the MouseEvent.

Answer:

 Any component can generate mouse events.

 An object that wants to respond to these events must implement one or both
listener interfaces.
 It must also register itself with the component by calling the component's
addMouseListener() and/or addMouseMotionListener() methods.

3. Write the steps to obtain the coordinates of MouseClick.

Answer:

 Create a class that extends Applet: This class will contain methods to handle
mouse events.
 Implement MouseListener: Your class should implement the MouseListener
interface.
  Register the Mouse Listener: In the init method of your applet, register the
mouse listener.
 Override the mouseClicked method: This method provides access to the
MouseEvent, which contains the coordinates.
 Use getX() and getY() methods: In the mouseClicked method, use these methods to
retrieve the X and Y coordinates of the mouse click.

4. Write the steps to register for MosueEvents.

Answer:

 Import Required Packages: Ensure you import the necessary packages for
handling mouse events.
 Create a Class: Define a class that will handle mouse events. This class can
extend either Applet, JFrame, or any other Swing component.
 Implement the MouseListener Interface: Your class should implement the
MouseListener interface (or MouseAdapter if you want to avoid
implementing all methods).
 Create a Component: Inside your class, create a graphical component (like
JPanel or a label) where you want to detect mouse events.
 Register the Mouse Listener: Use the addMouseListener(this); method on
the component to register the mouse listener.
 Override the Mouse Event Methods: Implement the necessary methods of
the MouseListener interface to handle events like mouse clicks, presses,
releases, entering, and exiting.
 Handle Mouse Events: Inside the overridden methods, define how you want
to respond to the mouse events, such as updating the UI or performing
actions based on the events.

 Exercise
1. Write a program to change the background color of Applet when
user performs events using Mouse.
Answer:

import java.applet.Applet;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

/* <APPLET CODE="ColorChangeApplet" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=200> </APPLET> */

public class ColorChangeApplet extends Applet implements MouseListener {

 public void init() {

addMouseListener(this);

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

setBackground(Color.GREEN);

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {

setBackground(Color.RED);

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {

setBackground(Color.BLUE);

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {

setBackground(Color.YELLOW);

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {

setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

Output:
2. Write a program to count the number of clicks performed by the
user in a Frame window.
Ans:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

/* <APPLET CODE="ColorChangeApplet" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=200> </APPLET> */

public class ClickCounter extends JFrame implements MouseListener {

private int clickCount = 0;

private JLabel label;

public ClickCounter() {

setTitle("Click Counter");

setSize(300, 200);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 label = new JLabel("Click Count: " + clickCount, JLabel.CENTER);

add(label);

addMouseListener(this);

setVisible(true);

@Override

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

clickCount++; // Increment the click count

label.setText("Click Count: " + clickCount); // Update the label

@Override

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}

@Override

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}

@Override

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}

@Override

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}

public static void main(String[] args) {

new ClickCounter();

Output:
3. Write a program to demonstrate the use of mouseDragged and
mouseMoved method of MouseMotionListener.
Answer:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class MouseMotionDemo extends JFrame implements MouseMotionListener {

private JLabel label;

public MouseMotionDemo() {

setTitle("Mouse Motion Demo");

setSize(400, 300);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setLocationRelativeTo(null);

label = new JLabel("Move or Drag the Mouse", JLabel.CENTER);

label.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 18));

add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);

JPanel panel = new JPanel();

panel.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

panel.addMouseMotionListener(this);

add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

setVisible(true);

@Override

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {

label.setText("Mouse Moved at: (" + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");

}
 @Override

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {

label.setText("Mouse Dragged at: (" + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");

public static void main(String[] args) {

new MouseMotionDemo();
