Thomas, I came up with a solution in the end (perhaps not the best one but at least it works).
The problem appeared to be in the AbstractXXXInteractor classes provided in the org.apache.batik.swing.gvt package. The mouseExited() methods they contained terminated the interactor. In our case this was terminating the interactor when the mouse went over one of our objects which were placed on top of the JSVGCanvas object. I provided an overridden class for each Interactor that I wanted to use. These overridden classes have mouseExited() methods which do nothing, thus preventing the one in the base class from being executed and terminating the interaction. This all works quite well although it does have the slight side effect in that the interaction does not terminate if the mouse really does leave the JSVGCanvas object.

As I said I believe this is a AWT/Swing Issue, and I don't know enough about event dispatch to know how a component can change it. Just a thought, but I suppose scrollbars must do what you want you might take a look at them. There might be a "focus grab" function or something. > > Thanks in advance, > > Rob > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas DeWeese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 March 2004 14:35 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: JSVGCanvas interactors > > Hi Rob, > > I suspect that this is a awt/swing issue.
