POAllow events to be posted in EvenQueue between postEvent calls in Swing
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to emulate click events in Swing using following code:</p> <pre><code>event = new MouseEvent(target, MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, ...) java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(event); event = new MouseEvent(target, MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED, ...) java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(event); event = new MouseEvent(target, MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, ...) java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(event); </code></pre> <p>This works fine for most components, but the problem is if component is generating it's own events, for example if when component receives MOUSE_PRESSED it generates some events and submits them with dispatchEvent(newEvent); With normal click event order would be:</p> <pre><code>MOUSE_PRESSED newEvent MOUSE_RELEASED MOUSE_CLICKED </code></pre> <p>But because of my code order is:</p> <pre><code>MOUSE_PRESSED MOUSE_RELEASED MOUSE_CLICKED newEvent </code></pre> <p>And it breaks application logic. I can easily fix it by adding Thread.sleep() calls between my postEvent() calls, but I don't want to do it since this method is called a lot and I don't want it to be slow, especially since current code works in 95% of cases.</p> <p>How would I emulate event sequence allowing new events to be created between them? I don't have access to component code, so I can only modify my emulation method.</p>
