Can I use this.over or this.down for paint routine on panel?

[VirtualVirgin]

When doing an LAF, you can use "obj.over", "obj.down" etc. to get the mouse state and change the appearance.

Can I use "this.over", "this.down" etc. to do the same for a panel?
I'm not getting any result from this Console.print():

		    if(this.over)
		    	Console.print("hover!");
		    	g.setColour(this.itemColour2);  
		        g.fillRoundedRectangle(ka, keyRound);
		    
		    
		    if(this.down)
		    	g.setColour(this.bgColour);
		        g.fillRoundedRectangle(ka, keyRound);

Just hoping I can do it this way without having to go use the mouseCallback explicitly for the panel.

@VirtualVirgin In the a panel's mouse callback you get a parameter, usually called event. This holds that information.

And I just re-read your question - you need to use a mouse callback, the panel is only repainted when you call the repaint function, so you can't dynamically get mouse information within it.

Thanks,
that is generally the way I do it, but I was trying to transfer an LAF to a paint routine and was wondering if there was any trick to lower the workload of it that I didn't know of.
