How to add MouseLsitener to JMenu

[Liana Norpunova]

Hi! Does anybody know how to add MouseListener to JMenu? I have a working code that implements MenuListener, however it is not exactly what I need, because the procedure "createBaseRight" is executed after selecting (NOT CLICKING) JMenu: home. I've tried MouseListener, however it didn't work here. Any suggestions?

    
        JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
        this.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        JMenu home = new JMenu("Начальная страница");
        menubar.add(home);
//...
        menubar.add(admin);

        home.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {
              public void menuSelected(MenuEvent e) {
                createBaseRight(1);
              }
              public void menuDeselected(MenuEvent e) {
              }
              public void menuCanceled(MenuEvent e) {
              }
        });

This is what JMenuItem is for. Initialize it with an Action, set an Action or add an ActionListener.

Try

   
home.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				if(e.getSource==true)
                            {
                                  System.out.print("hello menu");
                            }
			}
		});

Hi!

yeah, I know how to add Listener to JMenuItem. However, the problem is that I need Listener for JMenu

I've tried ActionListener, however it doesn't work...simply no reaction...

Well, if you would tell me that it is impossible to add MouseListener to JMenu, then I will try to find another solution.

When I've tried to implement MouseListener for JMenu, then I've got the message "Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported yet." Does it mean that it is absolutely impossible to solve this problem?

[dziubut dziubucinski]

home.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
			
			@Override
			public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
			
			@Override
			public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
			
			@Override
			public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
			
			@Override
			public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
			
			@Override
			public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
				if(e.getSource() != null)
				{
					System.out.print("ffs");
				}
				
			}
		});

solved?

You need to learn Java before, not after, you start using the automatic code generation features of your IDE.

Posting code ready for Ctrl-C Ctrl-V doesn't help anyone to learn. Do you plan to be around the next time the OP's IDE spews out code s/he still hasn't learned to read and understand?

The "Not supported yet" is a dead giveaway.

Agree. It tells me Liana Norpunova uses NetBeans and the //TODO tells me dziubut dziubucinski uses Eclipse

And welcome to the Ranch, dziubut dziubucinski

Ok true, my bad. She should learn java basics before. No more free code without comment anymore;)
