Context Menu

Hi

I have various buttons on my frame and i want to add a context menu for each button on right click but i have already an action listener on those buttons
So how can i add the context menu on right click

Help Me Please

I think you have to add a mouselistener

or perhaps you just want to use a tool tip instead.

Here's how I created a context menu for a text field. Should work just as well for a button.

Code:

---

                final String demoText
                                = "Fred's flight objection fixes and zaps the wavy bump quickly.";
                Action resetAction = new AbstractAction("Reset") {
                        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                                text.setText(demoText);
                        }
                };
                final JPopupMenu resetMenu = new JPopupMenu();
                resetMenu.add(new JMenuItem(resetAction));

               
                text = new JTextField(demoText);
                text.addActionListener(this);
                text.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
                        void popup(MouseEvent e) {
                            resetMenu.show(text, e.getX(), e.getY());
                        }
                        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
                                        { if(e.isPopupTrigger()) popup(e); }

                        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
                                        { if(e.isPopupTrigger()) popup(e); }

                        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
                        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
                        public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
                } );

Code is supposed to check isPopupTrigger for both mousePressed and mouseReleased because platforms differ as to which is the trigger.
