MouseListener misunderstanding

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi, 

here what i'm tryng to do : 

MainContentComponent::MainContentComponent()

{

    c1 = new myChild();
    c2 = new myChild();
    addAndMakeVisible(c1);
    addAndMakeVisible(c2);
    addMouseListener(this, true);
    ...
}

void MainContentComponent::mouseDown(const MouseEvent &event)

{

    if (event.eventComponent == c1){
     //do something on c1, e.g. c1.setAlpha(1.0);
     //do something esle on c2, e.g. c2.setAlpha(0.75);

    }

else if (eventComponent == c2){
     //do something on c2, e.g. c2.setAlpha(1.0);
     //do something else on c1, e.g. c1.setAlpha(0.75);

    }

My problem is that this won't work if I click on c1 or c2 children components...although it's ok if I click on c1 or c2 directly.

I'm pretty sure i'm missing some crucial basic point....

It should work as far as I can see from that snippet. Maybe something elsewhere in your code that's stopping it?

Hi,

i'm really testing on the simplest code ever..in my child component I have a simple TextButton and nothing else .

I just created a basic GUI Application, implemented a MouseListener in MainContentComponent as shown before, added myChild component (which inherits from Component) and added a TextButton in myChild ... 

Am I supposed to do anything more ? I feel like..really stupid..:)

Can't see anything stupid in what you posted, but hard to see the whole picture without a complete example of what you're doing.

Hope this clarifies abit. Thx a lot btw.

Try originalComponent instead of eventComponent?

7

and same behavior : when i click on TextButton nothing happens..

8

.. doing something like :

 if (event.originalComponent == c1

        || event.eventComponent == c1->getChildComponent(0)){

        printf("c1\n");

        c1->setAlpha(1.0);

        c2->setAlpha(0.25);

    }

 

then i get control over children components of c1 from MainContentComponent :/
