Returning the selected menu item from a popup screen

Hi. I'm having trouble returning what item has been seect from a popup window.
When I right click I get my menu-popup, but when I click on a menu item I get nothing.

I've added an action listener to the popup menu. My menu is a sub-menu and I'm trying to get information back from my sub menu.

Any tips please?

Thanks

Opps sorted it :-D

Please mark the thread "solved" (see thread tools above), and please provide a brief synopsis of your solution. Thanks.

private JMenu _createSubMenu(){
_subMenu = new JMenu("Replace");

for(int n = 1; n!= 5; n++){
_subMenu.add("Pad "+ String.valueOf(n));
_subMenu.getItem(n-1).addActionListener(this);
}

return _subMenu;
}

I didn't add an action listener to EACH of the menu items :-D.
