GlobalMouseDispatcher (docking-frames-core 1.1.2-P19c API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultGlobalMouseDispatcher
```
public interface GlobalMouseDispatcher
```
The GlobalMouseDispatcher is used to keep track of the location of mouse on the screen. In a normal desktop application this is equivalent of installing an AWTEventListener. In a secure environment the GlobalMouseDispatcher is restricted to register events that are forwarded by Components to it. Any DockStation forwards its events to this class.

- Method Detail
  - dispatch
```
void dispatch(MouseEvent event)
```
    Called by various Components when they register a MouseEvent. Calls to this method are only necessary when in a restricted environment. The GlobalMouseDispatcher may filter the events, but usually the event is forwarded to all registered MouseListeners.
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - the event to forward
  - addMouseListener
```
void addMouseListener(MouseListener listener)
```
    Adds the observer listener to this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the new listener, not null
  - removeMouseListener
```
void removeMouseListener(MouseListener listener)
```
    Removes the observer listener from this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener to remove
  - addMouseMotionListener
```
void addMouseMotionListener(MouseMotionListener listener)
```
    Adds the observer listener to this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the new listener, not null
  - removeMouseMotionListener
```
void removeMouseMotionListener(MouseMotionListener listener)
```
    Removes the observer listener from this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener to remove
  - addMouseWheelListener
```
void addMouseWheelListener(MouseWheelListener listener)
```
    Adds the observer listener to this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the new listener, not null
  - removeMouseWheelListener
```
void removeMouseWheelListener(MouseWheelListener listener)
```
    Removes the observer listener from this dispatcher.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener to remove
  - kill
```
void kill()
```
    Releases any resources this dispatcher holds.
