Adding multiple Clickable areas in trailing mode to a frame

[ali honarmand]

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Naughts & Cross like game and I have problems with its GUI. I'm not familiar with JFX which seems to make it a peace of cake so I have to handle it using simple Swing. The problem is that I need to add a square(3^2) number of cells to my game area which are clickable(listen to events) - buttons are not a good choice - and change the surface according to the user clicks.

thanks

A JLabel (or indeed any Component) can respond to mouse events by adding a MouseListener (or as applicable, a MouseMotionListener). A GridLayout(3, 3) can take care of positioning andsizing of components.

thanks a lot. It solved the problem. I added the mouse listener to my JPanel class but as I click the underlying frame the event is again invoked.

I have got a JPanelClickEventListener as follows:

public class JPanelClickEventListener implements MouseListener 

and I added an instance of the event Listener class to my JPanels as follows:

myCell1 = new Cell();
myCell1.addMouseListener(new MouseEventListener());

I should mention that the preceding code resides in a class extending JFrame.
