hello, i seem to be having some trouble here. I am writing a little class that is a popupSlider widget. The class extends JLabel so the user would treat this component like a label. When the label is left clicked on a jpopupMenu with a slider in it appears. This works all well and good except the second i click on the slider, i still have control of the slider (i can drag it up and down), the popup menu then disappears behind the rest of the window. I'm thinking i am missing something when processing the click event or the release events.

(yea there is probably some ugly code here, but it is in development, i want to get the thing working then clean up the code.)

couple things to note:
'popup' is a JPopupMenu object with a JSlider simply 'add()'ed to it

Code:

    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("clicked " + e.getSource().getClass() );
        if(e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1)
        {
            Point pos = getMousePosition();
            pos.x += getLocationOnScreen().x;
            pos.y += getLocationOnScreen().y;
            
            popup.setLocation(pos);
            popup.setVisible(true);
        }
    }
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("released " + e.getSource().getClass() );
        if( (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) &&
            (e.getSource().getClass() == JSlider.class) )
        {
            System.out.println("mouse released on slider");
            popup.setVisible(false);
        }
    }

any help would be appreciated.
