Swing/AWT/SWT :: JMenu - Is This OK To Use MouseListener Over ActionListener

Aug 13, 2014

I know that JMenu and JMenuItem is suppose to use action listeners but would you consider this implementation an exception?

menuAbout.addMouseListener (new MouseListener () {
@Override
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent arg0) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Server Tec Software System
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent arg0) { }
@Override
public void mouseExited (MouseEvent arg0) { }
@Override
public void mousePressed (MouseEvent arg0) { }
@Override
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent arg0) { }
});

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Same Code For Both ActionListener And MouseListener

Mar 8, 2014

is any simple way to apply the same code on both ActionListener and MouseListener, so that the same code is executed when the user either presses a JButton or presses Enter when a JTextField is focused.I know that I can define a method, while it is not preferred as I may use break; in my MouseListener.

A simple example:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TwoListener extends JFrame
{

[code]....

Although I can define a new method that prints out the three numbers, I have to add certain break; code in different cases. So I just wonder whether there is another way to do things like this.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Changing Rectangle Color With MouseListener

Mar 2, 2014

I'm trying to build a program which sets a fill color for a rectangle. Each time the mouse is clicked the fill color changes according to the position of the mouse's X and Y. I succeeded to create a JFrame with a changing background according to the Mouse's position, but I can't seem to change the color of the rectangle (defined in MyPanel class).

This is the current code,

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

[Code]...

Swing/AWT/SWT :: MouseListener Doesn't Work If JList Has Custom CellRenderer

Nov 9, 2014

I have a JList<Object> in my code (it actually takes JLabels) called imageList, and I've given it a custom CellRenderer using the following code:

cellRenderer = new DefaultListCellRenderer() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList<?> list,
Object value, int index, boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus) {

[Code] .....

However, when I click anywhere on the JList, nothing gets printed to the console, which suggests that the mousePressed() method isn't being invoked. I think it's a problem with the CellRenderer, because I have similar code elsewhere that works, the only difference being I don't use a custom CellRenderer.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Need To Add ActionListener

Mar 25, 2015

I am trying to implement user input in my dice rolling program but I do not understand where I need to add the actionListener. What I want the program to do is allow the user to click on each roll button and have the output be between 1 and 6. I figured I can put it in the "main" class due to the size of the program but I would like to know the best way to go about adding the actionListener into a sub-class for practice purposes.Here is my code thus far:

package com.jprogs;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class DiceGenerator extends JFrame {
DiceRollEvent dice = new DiceRollEvent();
// create the roll buttons
JButton roll_1 = new JButton("Roll #1");
JButton roll_2 = new JButton("Roll #2");
JButton roll_3 = new JButton("Roll #3");
JButton roll_4 = new JButton("Roll #4");
JButton roll_5 = new JButton("Roll #5");
// create output field for each roll

Swing/AWT/SWT :: KeyAdapter And ActionListener

Nov 27, 2014

I was working on implementing the game Hunting the Wumpus [URL] .... for one of my projects in College. I've got the major parts of the game already implemented. I am working on creating a start screen right now. But I've run into a strange problem. In my code the main method that draws is the PaintComponent method in the private class HTWPanel. I need the Actionlistener to listen to the "QWES" keys while the state of the game is PlayState.Playing so that the user can enter the direction he's going in. If I have the following code for my paint component, the Actionlistener works fine.

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
map.draw(g, 100);
}

But when I try to add a start screen (by changing the background color and adding a label called "StartScreen"), the controller only listens to keys while the start screen is showing, not while the game is playing. I'm pretty sure this problem is due to some internal implementation of KeyAdacpter or ActionListener, but I'm not sure what.

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (state == PlayState.START) {
this.setBackground(Color.orange);
this.add(startScreen);
}
else if (state == PlayState.PLAYING) {
if (this.getBackground() != Color.WHITE) {this.setBackground(Color.WHITE);}
map.draw(g, 100);
}

I attached a screenshot of my main class, HuntTheWumpus, and a screenshot of what my game looks like so far. Each square is a different room in the Wumpus's lair. The black rectangles are door representing which direction you can go to. The rooms that are 2 squares or less from the wumpus are colored red. The hunter is represented by the black circle in the upper left hand square. His he can move left right up and down into different rooms with the "QWES" keys.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: JButton Actionlistener Not Working?

Mar 5, 2014

I was suspecting I had a jButton not working, so I added a console print to test. See below. When I click the button, the console doesn't display anything. Am I using the button wrong?

private void jButtonUpdateItemsMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
System.out.println("click");
System.out.println(drawPreviousRectangle);//this is a boolean
}

I have also tried the following with the same results (or lack of).

private void jButtonUpdateMajorDeckItemsActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("click");
System.out.println(drawPreviousRectangle);//this is a boolean
}

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Adding ActionListener To Button Component?

Mar 7, 2014

Can I add actionListener to a button component without creating a reference to it? Look at my code below:

public void init() {
setBackground(Color.red);
//Create the layout
setLayout(new BorderLayout(20, 5));
//Add buttons
add("North", new Button("Red"));
add("South", new Button("Yellow"));
add("East", new Button("Cyan"));
add("West", new Button("Magenta"));
add("Center", new Button("White"));
}

Or should I just do the usual instance.addActionListener(this) like myButton.addActionListener(this)?

MouseListener - How To Increase A Value By Clicking It

Dec 25, 2014

I want to make a simple game and learn java by experimenting with it.I don't know how to increase a value by clicking it.I know how to make my objects move in my small game with mouse or keys, but I also got a score var that I want to increase per click. I can increase it over time, but after 2 hours of trying I couldn't progress any further.This is the piece of code I used, I imported the class, got getters n setters and all of that...

if(e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3) hud.setScore(hud.getScore() + 555);
Whenever I click I get an error, if I remember right "NullPointerException" is when something is missing I'm probably not targeting the value correctly...
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.tutorial.main.MouseListens.mouseClicked(MouseListens.java:22)
at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source)

Changing Panel In Frame Using MouseListener On JLabel

Sep 5, 2014

My program has a MainFrame(extends JFrame)class and BasePanel(extends JPanel) class,and many other panels.I had used Images with JLabel in BasePanel.My current panel in MainFrame is BasePanel.I had used MouseListener so that when I click on any of the label it should show Other panel in same MainFrame and hide the BasePanel.But I am getting some problem with that.When I click on the Label,It hides the BasePanel but do not show the new Panel(Dictionary Panel in my code). In short when label is clicked I want to make DictionaryPanel visible and BasePanel invisible,both in MainFrame. I am using the following code on Label:

//constructor of BasePanel class
public BasePanel() {
dict=new Dictionary();
mf=new MainFrame();
dictLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {

Inner Anonymous Class In Actionlistener?

Apr 18, 2014

I am using the DJWebbrowser in a Java Swing Application that I am working on

// Browser addon as Panel
JPanel browser = new JPanel();
browser = (JPanel) util.BPanel.createContent();
wrapper.add(browser);

and am sending data from a Google Map API , Distance Matrix Query with following code

function callback(response, status) {
if (status != google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
alert('Error was: ' + status);
} else {
var origins = response.originAddresses;
var destinations = response.destinationAddresses;
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('outputDiv');

[code]...

I haven't found a way to access a class property from the class that invoked the web browser, because the above WebBrowserAdapter is in an anonymous Inner Class.´I would like to have the distance that is sent from the Javascript to the application be passed on to the class member "distance" that in the invoking class.

Instantiating Interface - ActionListener

Dec 25, 2014

I have a snippet here that I'm working with and I have a few questions about it.

button.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev){
System.out.println("Button Pressed");
}
});

My questions are:

1. How is it possible to use new on ActionListener when ActionListener is an Interface, not a Class. Isn't it illegal to instantiate an Interface?

2. What is going on with the argument to addActionListener? We have the new ActionListener, but we also have a method being defined as well?
