This is related to a project I’m working.

Its a design application. And so, there’ll be several tools to use.

Which would be a better way to proceed to acheive context-sensitive functions?

1. global boolean values

- have boolean values that dictate whether the state is active, and check for that state whenever a mouseevent occurs?

1. single “state” value

- 1 value that mouseevent checks for to determine the state the mouse is in?

1. changing listeners to specific objects that will accept that event?

Thanks in advanced for any replies.
