Ok so I set up a method that takes the mousePressed argument and gets its point relative to the grid layout, and I want it to know that when I mouseRelease ( drop it ) it drops it in mouseRelease's targeted component but instead when I test it out it just says that I'm pressing and releasing on the same spot

Does mouseRelease and mousePressed not work the way I think it does? What should I do? Sorry I don't have pictures I'm on my phone rn lol

  • MouseEvents are relative to the component that you add the MouseListener to.
