JPopupMenu with multiline JMenuItem ?

Hi there.
Is it possible to do something like the subject says, a JPopupMenu with multiline JMenuItem's, without using html? I would like to create a JMenuItem with a MultiLineLabel as the argument instead of a String. I'm trying to do this because if i add the MultiLineLabel directly to the JPopupMenu, it displays as i want, but i loose the behaviour inherent to a JMenuItem, the highlighted index, etc.. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a workaround:
JPopupMenu popupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
// Workaround to stop first menu item being selected
JMenuItem dummyItem = popupMenu.add(new JMenuItem());
dummyItem.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(0, 0));
popupMenu.add("Item 1");
popupMenu.add("Item 2");
popupMenu.add("Item 3");
It works for me!

JPopupMenu with a JScrollPane

I have couple of questions
1. I want to add a JScrollPane to JPopupMenu, doing this would not make the JPopupMenu visible. Is this doable?
2. this is not related to question 1
I have a JPOpupMenu with JMenuItems. When I select one of items and the item selected , I append the String to a JTextArea.
The focus goes back to th beginning of the textArea, I want the focus to be at the end of string that is appended to the textArea.
thanx

I might sounding dense here, but I tried all the suggestions, it does not help. The textArea does not even get displayed.
Also I noticed another thing, the JtextArea is registered with a mouseListener. But when I right click on JTextField , I get teh popup. Which is strange.
I have attached the code with the above suggestions.

JPopupMenu with JCheckBoxMenuItmes

Hi,
I have a JPopupMenu with JCheckBoxMenuItems and JMenuItems.
The default behaviour of the JPopupMenu is, that it closes on selection of a MenuItem. This behaviour is not really nice for the CheckBoxMenuItems !
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks,
Elke

I don't have a workaround, sorry. But I think thats not needed too. The behavior you don't seem to like, is consistent with every application I ever used.
When I click on a menuitem, the only actions I expect is that either the menu closes and a command is executed, or another pop-up menu appears where I make my choice.
If you had a menu that doesn't close when you select or deselect a CheckBoxMenuItem, how do you close that menu? I think a MenuItem "Close this menu" would not be appreciated by any user. I use CheckBoxes on menus sparingly, and only for actions that generate an immediate visual response. (For instance Grayscale Image vs. Colored Image).
If you want the user to have more control about options its better you create a small dialog with your choices and an accept/cancel set of buttons.
Sorry I couldn't help with your initial question.

You never execute that method in your InternalFrameBasic class to the mouse listener never gets added to the table.

Problem with multiline text item return on query

Hi there, I am a beginner in ORACLE, here when i write a query i engaged a weird problem,
LOOP
FETCH CSR_ODR2 INTO :ORDER_RECORD.OREDER_RECORD_NO,:ORDER_RECORD.BILL_NO,:ORDER_RECORD.ACTUALO_WEIGHT,:ORDER_RECORD.OPERATION,:ORDER_RECORD.PLACE,:ORDER_RECORD.TRANSACTION_DATE,:ORDER_RECORD.ORDER_NO;
EXIT WHEN CSR_ODR2%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
this is the cursor version, I also tried SELECT statement, but have trouble about return more than 1 row.
:Order_Record is a detailed-form with multiline text items,while execute this cursor, it always rewrite the 1st line and wont go to 2nd line, I wanna get some help about how to display different records in different line in a text item.
btw, i tried next_record,next_item,next_field, but none of them works, the query is based on the record i filled on the master form, and show related record in detailed-form

How to get the JMenuBar associated with a JMenuItem?

How do I get the JMenuBar (or JFrame) associated with
a JMenuItem?
The JMenuItem is in a subMenu of a JMenu on the JMenuBar.

Hi,
JMenuBar is extending from the container class,
When a menuItem is added to it,You can get the instance of JMenuBar by type casting the getParent method on JMenuItem
ie..
JMenuItem mi1 = new JMenuItem();
JMenuBar jm = new JMenuBar();
jm.add(mi1);
JMenuBar jm2 = (JMenuBar) mi1.getParent();
Hope this helps
cheers

Probleme on JPopupMenu with JDialog

I use JPopupMenu with JDialog. To display the popup, I use a mousePressed in a panel of the dialog:
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if( e.getClickCount()==1 && e.getModifiers()==MouseEvent.BUTTON3_MASK && ga!=null ) {
mpopup.show(e.getComponent(),e.getX(), e.getY());
It works fine, but when a part of the popup is out of the dialog, the popup doesn't display.
Is it normal?
Has someone already had this problem?
I work with jdk1.3.1_01
Thanks for your help
Templ

When you create your popup menu do this :
mpopup.setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);
I hope this helps,

You need to add a MenuListener to the higher level menu. See attached sample working code.

JPopupMenu with a submenu (doesn't work)

I have a JPopupMenu that displays some info for me and I would like to add a submenu but it doesn't seem to work. I can successfully add the submenu but it doesn't "expand" when I mouse over the submen.
JPopupMenu pm = new JPopupMenu();
JMenu submenu = new JMenu("submenu");
JMenuItem jmi = new JMenuItem(...);
submenu.add(jmi);
pm.add(submenu);The popup menu looks as it should and the only thing that is missing is the action that should expand the submenu when I mouse over (and clicking doesn't work either).
Any ideas?

I don't think it is my code because I have tried it with other JPopupMenu stuff and it never works. Here is a simple working example of it. If you can modify this code to work I will be a bielver...

JPopupMenu with submenu

Hello,
I have a grid of buttons. If the user clicks a button with the right mouse button,
a JPopupMenu shows up. The popup menu includes also 2 submenus (JMenu).
When the user selects a menuitem, I need to know which was the selected button,
because it identifies the object on which the operation has to be performed.
If the menuitem is not in a submenu, I can get the button using
               menuItem = (JMenuItem) arg0.getSource();
               JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) menuItem.getParent();
               b = (JButton) popup.getInvoker();But if the selected menuitem is in the submenu, popup.getInvoker returns the JMenu (submenu)
and not the button.
How do I get which button was pressed?
thanks Marina

Sorry it is not clear to me how.
This is the code that shows the popup
mb.addMouseListener( new java.awt.event.MouseListener() {
          public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
          public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
          public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
          public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
               if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3)
                    JButton button = (JButton)e.getSource();
                    if (button.isEnabled())
                         mcPopup.show(button,0,button.getHeight());
          public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
The different clicks are then handled by the ActionListener:     if(actionString.equals("ccbinfo")) //default action for left click on the button
               b = (JButton) arg0.getSource();
          else if (actionString.contains("power")) //action for submenu items
               menuItem = (JMenuItem) arg0.getSource();
               JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) menuItem.getParent();
               b = (JButton) ?
          else // action for popup items (not in submenu)
               menuItem = (JMenuItem) arg0.getSource();
               JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) menuItem.getParent();
               b = (JButton) popup.getInvoker();
In the ActionListener the button information from the MouseClicked event is not available,
how do I pass the button info to the menu?
The menu is constructed only once, and the attached to the button only when right clicked.     private void buildPopupMenu()
          mcPopup = new JPopupMenu();

Trouble with multiline text box reading from xml file

Hi,
I have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off. please help!
Thanks,
Stan

Could you show your XML?

How to show a JPopupMenu on a JMenuItem?

I am trying to add a RMB context menu to an existing JMenuItem. For example Firefox has bookmark popup menus that can be "edited" by right clicking on the popup menu to say delete an entry.
The code below is a sample app that demonstraits the problem. Open up the main menu and attempt to right click on various things.
It seems like it might will work for "sub" JMenus but not JMenuItems (meaining no exception in thrown). In either case the menu to which the popup should be attached disappears when the RMB is clicked (at least on windows). This is likely the cause of the exception that is thrown below when the RMB is clicked on a JMenuItem. Furthermore if the popup is shown it is not properly hidden.
How would one properly accomplish this or is it just plain impossible?

I've looked there. If there is help there for popping up a context menu on top of another menu I can't find it. Could you please be a bit more specific? Did you try the sample code?

Problem with multiline

Dear all,
My requirement is like thiis.
I have n senders(10) which i need to merge in to 1 and send to the receiver.
Logic implemented:
1)Loop:
Counter!=5.
2)Receiver
LineElement
3)Container1
Append single line element to multi line element
4)container2
Assign counter+1.
end loop
5)Transfermation
interface mapping
Single line element
target interface
Note:
If I take the line item as Multiline I am geeting an error that the element must not return multi line
6)send
targetinterface
when I execute the same I am getting 2 different messages ie 2 different files are generated with out merging.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi
use the following process in the BPM
start>loop>receive>container1>container2>transform>send-->stop
container1-->to collect the multiple idocs.
container2-->to increment the value of the variable to check the loop condition.
>If I take the line item as Multiline I am geeting an error that the element must not return multi line
if you are getting the error as, that the element must not return multi line
for that check whether the occurence for the target node is 0..unbounded.
Thanks

Problems with multiline.jar

Hello there,
I have implemented multiline help for text items using multiline.jar provided by oracle.
I have several pages i.e fmx's, user can traverse to using oracle menus in my application.
I have multiline.jar for say "Test.fmb" only. Test.fmb has several items, blocks and tabbed pages within itself.
Sometimes, when i am on textitem1, the help will show up. but even if i move the cursor or go to other fmx's the help doesn't go away. Does anybody have this problem?
If i close down the application & start again it's fine.
Please help me.
Thanks

Can you post an example project that demonstrates the problem? There were changes to the ant tasks and netbeans support around B45 that could cause problems depending on which version of the SDK and NetBeans you have. Similarly, if you wrote ant scripts prior to B44 and then use them with a later build you could have problems. And of course, if you're producing the Jar file and deployment artifacts without using the provided ant tasks (for example, using the normal ant jar task) you'll have problems.
I've verified that this works as expected in the FX 2.0 GA release using ant from the command line, and with the NetBeans 7.1 beta release using the FX 2.0 GA release.

Populate combobox with multiline field

Is there a way to get an array of a multiline text field and put this array in a combobox?
I think i have to use the split() function, but i dont know how to do this.
I'm trying to find an easy way to populate a combobox.

This topic shows how you can split the value of a multiline text field's value at carriage returns: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/789976
You can then use the setItems field method to populate the combo box with the items: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.752.html
