It has been some time since I looked at this code. So we will need to work on this together. Do not be confused by the routine JmolViewer.handleEvent(). I believe that code is only for old JVMs. Since you are running under Swing, you need to look for other things. We may need to add a few routines to help you out. First, try this ... You want to send the events to the java.awt.Component that is holding the instances of the JmolViewer. MouseManager11.java registers itself with the Component so that it will pick up the events. I have not done that much Swing programming, but it seems to me that if you can just send your MouseEvents to the Component, then it will dispatch the events correctly. > My main question - is this the correct way to handle events in this > situation (ie catch events and dispatch them handleEvent())? No ... only under old Java JVMs ... I probably should change the method name so that this is more clear.
