Foil 35 Mouse Move Event

From Java Tutorial - Spring 1997 Part 3:Graphics and the Abstract Windowing Toolkit Peking Tutorial, Web Certificate -- Spring-Summer 1997. by Nancy J. McCracken,Geoffrey C. Fox


Whenever the user moves the mouse, a message is sent from the client workstation to the Java system. It generates a form of interrupt called an event. Your Java applet can choose to provide a method which does appropriate response for any event. This is called an event handler - you must return true to show the general event handler that you have intervened.
