Hello Carsten,

What am I doing wrong? I have a derived class ClipboardMouseMode, and is being properly instantiated/loaded by component factory. I know this because (1) I have enabled componenet factory detail debugging, and (2) because I have placed Debug.Output("ClipboardMouse Constructor") in the constructor, and see that output on the console.

But, debug statements indicate no mouse events are being called, e.g., mousePressed(), mouseClicked(), and mouseDragged().

Have tried:

public class ClipboardMouseMode extends PanMouseMode
and
public class ClipboardMouseMode extends NavMouseMode
and
public class ClipboardMouseMode extends CoordMouseMode

For each, have tried changing mouse mode using main menu item Control/MouseMode/Navigation... But this does not seem to help.

I am running OpenMap executable using OpenMap.bat found in the bin directory, and with the default openmap.properties (but with my changes) found in openmap-4.6.3 folder. Should I be using a different properties file?

Hi

Install your own mouse mode via the openmap.properties file, e.g., extend the PanMouseMode and override mouseClicked to do the copy to clip board

class ClipboardMouseMode extends PanMouseMode {

  public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        super.mouseClicked(e);
        LatLonPoint llp = null;
        int x = e.getX();
        int y = e.getY();
        if (e.getSource() instanceof MapBean) {
              llp = ((MapBean) e.getSource()).getProjection().inverse(x, y);
              Clipboard systemClipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()
                            .getSystemClipboard();
              // format, UTM convert llp here
              Transferable transferableText = new StringSelection(llp);
              systemClipboard.setContents(transferableText, null);
        }
    }

}

Then add

panMouseMode.class=ClipboardMouseMode

to openmap.properties in your home dir and add ClipboardMouseMode to the classpath before launching OM.
