Context Menu

[ravjot28]

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.

		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.
