For another approach, you can lean on our built in `EventDelegateDispatchers` class to automatically forward events (of certain types/all types) from a child component to a parent component provided by reference, i.e.

```python
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.util.gui import IgnitionSwingUtilities
from com.inductiveautomation.vision.api.client.components.model import TopLevelContainer
from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.util import EventDelegateDispatcher

KEY_EVENT_MASK = EventDelegateDispatcher.KEY_EVENT_MASK
MOUSE_EVENT_MASK = EventDelegateDispatcher.MOUSE_EVENT_MASK
FOCUS_EVENT_MASK = EventDelegateDispatcher.FOCUS_EVENT_MASK
ALL_EVENTS_MASK = EventDelegateDispatcher.ALL_EVENTS_MASK

def addForwardingEventListener(event, startSource = None, mask = ALL_EVENTS_MASK):
	startSource = event.source if startSource is None else startSource		
	parent = IgnitionSwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass(TopLevelContainer, startSource.parent)
	EventDelegateDispatcher.initializeDispatchers(startSource, parent, mask)

```

The class internally does the event cloning + adjusts cursor points as necessary.

For a smaller refactor, you could also probably use something from Java's `SwingUtilities` to ease the mouse event translation, e.g:

> **[SwingUtilities (Java SE 21 & JDK 21)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/SwingUtilities.html#convertMouseEvent(java.awt.Component,java.awt.event.MouseEvent,java.awt.Component))**
>
> declaration: module: java.desktop, package: javax.swing, class: SwingUtilities
