Mouse Listeners

Posted by Zach Keatts on November 08, 2001 at 1:00 PM

I want to do several different functions with several Labels in my program. I added mouse listener's to each one of them writing

disCard.addMouseListener(this);
userCard.addMouseListener(this);
userCard2.addMouseListener(this);

What I want to do is when the mouse enters only a certain object do a manipulation on only that object (userCard1, and userCard2).

It seems I will have to make an if statement, but how will I do that? I can't write

if(userCard.MouseEntered(this))
{
etc...
}

How do I get the MouseEntered method to recognize exactly which object it has entered, and be able to differentiate so that I can do specific operations on different objects?
All the examples I have found on the net are the same thing, and they all apply to applets.

Thank you for any help,
