Action for JMenuItem

[Mathew Mintalm]

Hello, is this possible to add Action for this component?

JMenuItem

I mean this one:



Bookmark called Html (from screen) is called: jMenuItem7

And I did something like this:

 jMenuItem7.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {

				System.out.println("works");
			}
		});    

But nothing happedned.

Someone can help me? Is there any other way (or maybe its impossible)

In my opinion its well explained,

No it is not well explained. A JMenuItem is typically added to a JMenu, but your picture looks more like a tabbed pane. Menu items are displayed below a JMenu when the menu is clicked.

That is why you should always post a SSCCE when you post a question so we don't have to guess what you are talking about.

It is a tabbed pane.

So the entire question is wrong.

JTabbedPane works with ChangeListener when its tab is changed. Try that out.

[Mathew Mintalm]

Could you show me little example how to use this one?

Yes i saw your link and also I saw guide on sun website but still cant understand how does it work.

jTabbedPane1.addTab("Html", jPanel2);

I have something like this

[Rob Spoor]

jTabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() // anonymous inner class
{
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println(e);
        System.out.println(jTabbedPane.getSelectedIndex()); // shows the newly selected tab
    }
});

Ok, thank you I think I got it a bit.

But now should I create something like:

            	 if(jTabbedPane1.getSelectedIndex() == Html){
                            //Function
            		 
            	 }    

But of course its wrong, can you help me one more time?

Sorry anyway.

/edit - ok thank you, already done.

[Rob Spoor]

What's wrong with that? Please TellTheDetails.

I did it in another method, anyway works.

Something like:

final String sqlTab = "SQL";

jTabbedPane1.addTab(sqlTab, jPanel4);

jTabbedPane1.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() 
 	        { 
 	            public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) 	            {   
 	                 
	                 int index = jTabbedPane1.getSelectedIndex();
 	                 String tabIndex = jTabbedPane1.getTitleAt(index);
	                 
	                 if(tabIndex == sqlTab){
	                         textArea.setSyntaxEditingStyle(SyntaxConstants.SYNTAX_STYLE_JAVA);
	                         AutoCompletion ac = new AutoCompletion(provider);
	                         ac.install(textArea);
	                 }  
      }
	               
 	            } 
 	        });

I do hope you use the equals method to compare Strings, not ==.

[Mathew Mintalm]

Oh, right :P Thank you.
