how to drag a shape

[mike28]

I want to be able to click and drag the rectangle but I am not sure how to do it, I know it something to do with 'mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)` but don't know how to use it. This is the code I have so far:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MovRect extends Applet implements MouseMotionListener, MouseListener {
    Color color = Color.green;
    int x=30,y=30,w=150,l=150;
    String MouseMotion ="";

    public void init()
    {
        addMouseListener(this);
        addMouseMotionListener(this);
	}
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		super.paint(g);

		g.setColor(color);
		g.drawRect(x, y, w, l);

	}
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    {
        String clickDesc;
        if (e.getClickCount() == 2)
            clickDesc = "double";
        else
            clickDesc = "single";

        System.out.println("Mouse was " + clickDesc + "-clicked at location (" +
            e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");

            int mouseX = e.getX();
            int mouseY = e.getY();

		if( mouseX >= x && mouseX <= x+w && mouseY >= y && mouseY <= y+l )
		{

  		}
		else
		{

		}
			this.repaint();
	}

    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("mouse is being dragged at location (" + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");
        MouseMotion ="mouseDragged";
           int mouseX = e.getX();
            int mouseY = e.getY();
        	if( mouseX >= x && mouseX <= x+w && mouseY >= y && mouseY <= y+l )
			{

			}
        this.repaint();
    }
    public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("mouse is being moved at location (" + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() + ")");
        MouseMotion ="mouseMoved";
        repaint();
    }


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

The mouse motion listener has to change the x,y location where you draw the shape.
There are some equations you need to use to convert the change in the mouse's location to the change in the shape's location.
There might be code on the forum that shows how to do that. Do a Search on the forum for mouseDragged or MouseMotionListener.

Yeah, I posted such a program on stackoverflow yesterday: stackoverflow.com: how-to-set-specific-window-frame-size-in-java-swing
