Need Help: adding MouseListeners to JComponents (Drawing a JComponent and then attaching a MouseListener)
- by user1074574
Drawing a JComponent and then attaching a MouseListener seems very simple to me, but not in this case: I'm having a problem with a MouseListener attached to a child JComponent; here's some brief code to help describe it:
Note: The BGT class has implemented ActionListers/MouseListeners that do not have any code in them, and 'figures' is an array of SwingThings.
public class GC extends BGT{
public GC(){
super();
buildJMenu();
drawPanel.addMouseListener(this); //drawPanel being the panel that draws the JComponents (it is a public variable in the BGT class)
drawPanel.addMouseMotionListener(this);
this.addMouseListener(this);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
GC a = new GC();
}...
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println(e.getSource()); //This only seems to print out the DrawPanel's information
}...
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
repaint();
...
tempMyJTextField = new MyJTextField(startX, startY, width, height);
tempMyJTextField.addMouseListener(this);
tempMyJTextField.addMouseMotionListener(this);
figures.add(tempMyJTextField);
for(int i = 0; i < figures.size(); i++)
figures.get(i).addTo(drawPanel);
}
This is the addTo method in the MyJTextField class:
public class MyJTextField extends JTextField implements SwingThing{
...
public void addTo(JPanel p) {
p.add(myTextField);
}
...
}
In the MouseClicked event it never registers that the JComponent was clicked. (The drawing/painting works fine)
Thanks.
