[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Binding Commands to Mouse Events

[Ed Merks <Ed.Merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tarlog,

I don't think that makes a lot of sense.  Generally the mouse will do 
something based on what it's clicked on, so each control decides that.  
Listeners for mouse events will only get notified when the mouse event 
happens for/on that control, i.e., only happens for the control on top 
of the z-order under the mouse location (I think).
