# Mouse Event

If a mouse action triggers multiple events, the order of these events is fixed. By default, mouse events are transmitted transparently.

>  **NOTE**
>
>  - The APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>  - For the time being, a mouse event can be triggered only by an external mouse device.

## onMouse

onMouse(event: (event: MouseEvent) => void)

Triggered when the component is clicked by a mouse button or the mouse pointer moves on the component.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

        .onHover((isHover: boolean, event: HoverEvent) => {
          // Use the onHover event to dynamically change the text content and background color of a button when the mouse pointer is hovered on it.
