JPopupMenu + JMenu + JTextField how can i edit JTextField on this structure??

[Felipe Brancaleone]

Hi everyone,

I'm putting a JTextField inside a JMenu and this inside a JPopupMenu, when the mouse clicks JTextfield nothing happen in the view, i can print something to test if my listener is working and ok, but in the component, again, nothing happen. What can i do??

Here is a code part:

  final JTextField myField = new JTextField(10);
		myField.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.ITALIC, 12));
		myField.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {

			@Override
			public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
			}

			@Override
			public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
			}

			@Override
			public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
			}

			@Override
			public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
			}

			@Override
			public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
				myField.grabFocus();
				System.out.println("test");
			}
		});
		myMenu.add(myField);
		add(myMenu);  

All my code is inside a class that extends JPopupMenu...
Any help is welcome!!!

put the textfield in a JDialog instead of the popup menu?

So i need to reproduce the entire jpopupmenu behavior?, implements all the jpopupmenu features?? that's a lot of things

[Michael Dunn]

can you describe the behavior you're after, or, better yet, post a simple compilable/runnable application
that shows the problem (along with the steps to reproduce the problem).

I'd be surprised if a dialog needed much work to get your desired effect.
