How to intercept a pointer pressed within a container?

[Eyal Muchtar]

In my application I'm using Tabs. One of the tabs contains  a Label with an image as it's icon.

I need to intercept the x and y of the pointer.

When using:

f.addPointerPressedListener(new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

int evX = evt.getX() - x;

int evY = evt.getY() - y;

Dialog.show("PointerPressed", "x= " + evX + " y= " + evY, "Ok", null);

}

});

and pressing on the Tabs, the Dialog displayed and the other tab's content remains hidden and the previous tab's content remains on screen.

How can I fix that?

Thanks,

Eyal.

Other events in the queue such as the handling of the tab switch didn't have time to complete since you showed the Dialog which is blocking the current form.
Just wrap this block in callSerially which will deffer its execution to the next EDT cycle after the button click was processed.
