AWTGLCanvas mouse and keyboard interactions

[rainforest]

With the latest version of LWJGL in release, is there any new addition for handling the lwjgl keyboard and mouse events in AWTGLCanvas?

If not then,   how can I add keyboard and mouse events to the AWTGLCanvas? Please give me an example.

i just registered to answer

i made it this way:

GLInputTest.java

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import org.lwjgl.LWJGLException;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.AWTGLCanvas;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class GLInputTest extends JFrame implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, KeyListener {

	private GLWindow canvas;

	public GLInputTest() throws LWJGLException {
		setTitle("Keyboard & Mouse Input Example");
		setSize(640, 480);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

		canvas = new GLWindow();
		add(canvas);

		setVisible(true);

		canvas.addMouseListener(this);
		canvas.addMouseMotionListener(this);

		canvas.addKeyListener(this);
		canvas.requestFocus(); // Focus for Keyboard Events

		new Thread() {
			public void run() {
				for (;;) {
					canvas.repaint();

					try {
						sleep(20);
					} catch (InterruptedException e) {
						break;
					}
				}
			}
		}.start();
	}

	class GLWindow extends AWTGLCanvas {

		public GLWindow() throws LWJGLException {
			super();
		}

		public void paintGL() {
			try {
				makeCurrent();
				GL11.glViewport(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
				GL11.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
				GL11.glClear(GL11.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

				swapBuffers();
			} catch (LWJGLException e) {
				throw new RuntimeException(e);
			}
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) throws LWJGLException {
		new GLInputTest();
	}

	public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
		if (e.getID()==MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED) {
			switch (e.getButton()) {
			case 1:
				System.out.println("Left Mouse Button");
				break;
			case 2:
				System.out.println("Middle Mouse Button");
				break;
			case 3:
				System.out.println("Right Mouse Button");
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
	public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
	public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}
	public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
	public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {}
	public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {}

	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
		case KeyEvent.VK_SPACE:
			System.out.println("SPACE pressed");
			break;
		}
	}

	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
		switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
		case KeyEvent.VK_SPACE:
			System.out.println("SPACE released");
			break;
		}
	}

	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
		if (e.getKeyChar()=='a') {
			System.out.println("a typed");
		} else if (e.getKeyChar()=='A') {
			System.out.println("A typed");
		}
	}

}

Thank you very much for the post. Well Ive already implemented the keyboard and mouse interactions the same way u ve described (except that Ive extended the panel so that I can make it work in the Applet). I was wondering if there is any lwjgl kind of interaction possible!

Hey, u r a registered member now! Welcome!

Here is the application for which I needed the mouse and keyboard integration tips. The application uses lwjgl version 0.99. U can reach the applet in: http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~arahm049/apple/applet.html.
