Action Listener

[greatmajestics]

Sorry I am new to this forum so please tell me how to use code tags.

Following are my code

static JMenuItem c = new JMenuItem("Hye");

public static void one
{
c.addActionListener(null);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if(e.getSource() == m11)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hye");
}



My problem is that it is not taking any action even i press any key. Some on told me to add "this" instead of "null", but i cant do it when i have static specifier. Hope you understand and help me.

you can do this:

c.addActionListener (new ActionListener  () {
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  {
    if(e.getSource() == m11)
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hye");
  }
});

Same as any other forum or word processor.

You paste your code and then select it. Then you click on a button that looks like it will do what you want.

You've got a problem right there. If your JMenuItem needs to be static, then something is possibly wrong with your code design. Why is this static by the way?

[greatmajestics]

Because it is shared by other outer classes. That's Why i kept it static. By the way i have solved my problem , Thanx for the code tags help.

Actually that may be poor reason for making it static. Your code is at risk for not being very object oriented in its structure and may not be as extensible as it would otherwise be.

Then how can i share one data type among different running threads simultaneously , Correct me Please if I am wrong. Also Extend your post with reason's.

[Fubarable]

By creating and sharing objects, passing objects as parameters, using design patterns in appropriate situations. That's what OOPS is all about.

How can you do it specifically in your situation? Hard to say without seeing your program structure/UML diagram.

Indeed you are right but can you please explain why static is used then? My teacher told me that it is used for sharing information among many running sessions.
