I am trying to trigger a popup menu when user type a specific character .In my case It's dot key.But nothing happens.I think; I missed out something . Could you tell me what is wrong.Because I am completly confused
public class d extends JPanel {
String phase="Some Clue ";
final JTextArea area;
final JPopupMenu menu;
public d(){
super(new BorderLayout());
area=new JTextArea();
area.setLineWrap(true);
JButton button=new JButton("Clear");
menu=new JPopupMenu();
JMenuItem item=new JMenuItem(phase);
menu.add(item);
add(area,BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(button,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
add(menu);
}
public static void main(String...args){
JComponent c=new d();
JFrame frame=new JFrame();
frame.setContentPane(c);
frame.setSize(300,300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
ActionListener listener=new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
PopupMenu menu=new PopupMenu();
int pos=area.getCaretPosition();
try {
Rectangle r= area.modelToView(pos);
menu.show(area, r.x, r.y);
} catch (BadLocationException ex) {
System.out.print(ex.toString());
}
KeyStroke ks=KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_P,0,false);
area.registerKeyboardAction(listener, ks,JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED);
}
};
Move these statements into the constructor of your class d
KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_P, 0, false);
area.registerKeyboardAction(listener, ks, JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED);
so that the KeyStroke
is registered with the JTextArea
area
Also there's no need to create another (AWT) popup menu in the listener - re-use menu
declared at class level.
ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
int pos = area.getCaretPosition();
try {
Rectangle r = area.modelToView(pos);
menu.show(area, r.x, r.y);
} catch (BadLocationException ex) {
System.out.print(ex.toString());
}
}
};
Aside: Using Java Naming Conventions classes start with an uppercase letter, for example PopupTest
rather than d
