Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I tried the above approach. Everything is working fine with one exception. The only problem with this approach is, the frame inside which I am showing the captured image is not coming on top of MAC Menubar. I tried by changing the frame location to match the captured image positions exactly with the MAC Menu bar, but found that the frame is going behind the MAC Menu bar. Due to this, there is a chance that user can perform some other activities before actually generating the desired mouse events. Is there any way to solve this issue?

I don't think it can be done easily, from pure Java. You CAN get a window to lie above the menu bar, but it requires native code, using JAWT to gain access to the NSView and NSWindow Cocoa objects, and setting the window level of the NSWindow object to a value above the menu bar (not forgetting to shift this operation onto the AppKit thread once you're running in Objective C). If you're cool with JNI, JAWT and Objective-C, take a look at /System/Library/Frameworks/ ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/ Headers/CGWindowLevel.h for the various window level values, and http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSWindow_Class/index.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004151 for the NSWindow documentation. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
