## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( |  | self ) |

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | DOM.MouseEvent | other
| ) |  |  |

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | DOM.Event | other
| ) |  |  |

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | MouseEventImpl | impl
| ) |  |  |

bool altKey | ( |  | self ) |

Used to indicate whether the 'alt' key was depressed during the firing of the event. On some platforms this key may map to an alternative key name.

long button | ( |  | self ) |

During mouse events caused by the depression or release of a mouse button, button is used to indicate which mouse button changed state. The values for button range from zero to indicate the left button of the mouse, one to indicate the middle button if present, and two to indicate the right button. For mice configured for left handed use in which the button actions are reversed the values are instead read from right to left.

long clientX | ( |  | self ) |

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the DOM implementation's client area.

long clientY | ( |  | self ) |

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the DOM implementation's client area.

bool ctrlKey | ( |  | self ) |

Used to indicate whether the 'ctrl' key was depressed during the firing of the event.

The initMouseEvent method is used to initialize the value of a MouseEvent created through the DocumentEvent interface. This method may only be called before the MouseEvent has been dispatched via the dispatchEvent method, though it may be called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times, the final invocation takes precedence. Parameters

Parameters:

  | typeArg | Specifies the event type.
  | canBubbleArg | Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
  | cancelableArg | Specifies whether or not the event's default action can be prevented.
  | viewArg | Specifies the Event's AbstractView.
  | detailArg | Specifies the Event's mouse click count.
  | screenXArg | Specifies the Event's screen x coordinate
  | screenYArg | Specifies the Event's screen y coordinate
  | clientXArg | Specifies the Event's client x coordinate
  | clientYArg | Specifies the Event's client y coordinate
  | ctrlKeyArg | Specifies whether or not control key was depressed during the Event.
  | altKeyArg | Specifies whether or not alt key was depressed during the Event.
  | shiftKeyArg | Specifies whether or not shift key was depressed during the Event.
  | metaKeyArg | Specifies whether or not meta key was depressed during the Event.
  | buttonArg | Specifies the Event's mouse button.
  | relatedTargetArg | Specifies the Event's related EventTarget.

bool metaKey | ( |  | self ) |

Used to indicate whether the 'meta' key was depressed during the firing of the event. On some platforms this key may map to an alternative key name.

DOM.Node relatedTarget | ( |  | self ) |

Used to identify a secondary EventTarget related to a UI event. Currently this attribute is used with the mouseover event to indicate the EventTarget which the pointing device exited and with the mouseout event to indicate the EventTarget which the pointing device entered.

long screenX | ( |  | self ) |

The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the origin of the screen coordinate system.

long screenY | ( |  | self ) |

The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the origin of the screen coordinate system.

bool shiftKey | ( |  | self ) |

Used to indicate whether the 'shift' key was depressed during the firing of the event.
