Detecting end of mouse wheel

[Miles Runner]

Hello,
In my applet, I add support for the mouse wheel. My problem is that when there is action on the wheel, I run a function and as part of this treatment is long. So I would execute this section only when the user has finished "playing" with the wheel while running the reset mouseWheelMoved each. Briefly I want to detect the mouse wheel when it reaches at the end of movement. How can I do this? How to set up a Boolean that proves that the user has finished manipulating the wheel?

Hello,
I do not know if it will respond to your question but if you look at the argument that mouseWheelMoved is mouseWheelEvent, as he getScrollAmount method (), so you can run for each "ScrollAmount" your function for small amount movies, and once you're reached the end, the movement will be stopped. I do not know if this is what you are asking or my logic towards it is correct, but your question if difficult to answer.

Hello,
I do not think there is the concept of "end of scroll" in java. It just means that you have not scrolled for some time. I say it must manage a timer:
- Each scroll you reset (say, for 1 second )
- If you spent one second without reset (so when you no longer have scrolled past second), you make your function long.
Advantage: it forces you to put your long-acting in another thread that Swing, which will not freeze your display.

Hello,
Thank you to you both. I thought something like this but I would love another way round it. If you have any other alternative to this method, then please post that method and the way to use it. My problem is that when each step of the wheel mouseWheelMoved event is launched I want to capture the action. Do you have any solution for this.

Hello,
You may try to create an attribute to your class that you upgrade to each call mouseWheelMoved representing the number of loops you have to do in another function and after this loop. Are you sure he does not "factored" no calls mouseWheelMoved so many notches wheel are made in a short time? Otherwise, actually, my method does not work but in this case I do not see what is their method getScrollAmount if the event is launched at every step of wheel for this function, as I understand, will always return 1. Try to test how it returns every time.

Hello,
This would be what you are looking for.

java. awt. event. MouseWheelEvent

public i getWheelRotation ()

Returns the mouse wheel rotations.

negative values if the mouse wheel was rotated up / away from the user, and positive values if the mouse wheel was rotated down / towards the user.
