Problem while fetching actionCommand

[chandrupsekar]

Hi All,

I have a main Frame which contains 2 buttons as icons added in toolbar. I have set an actionCommand implicitly as like:

final static String ScriptGen = "ScriptGen";
final static String Standardisation = "Standardisation";

Icon1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
Icon1.setActionCommand(ScriptGen);
Icon1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Icon1ActionPerformed(evt);
}
});

Icon2 = new javax.swing.JButton();
Icon2.setActionCommand(Standardisation);
Icon2.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Icon2ActionPerformed(evt);
}
});


jToolBar1.add(Icon1);
jToolBar1.add(Icon2);
setToolBar(jToolBar1,jToolBar2);

Now on clicking a button is it should open a popup (JDialog) where the user clicks either Ok or Cancel button. When Ok button is pressed it should open a different panel depends on the action command it is received.

I have passed the action command as arguments while opening the popup dialog.

The problem I am facing is whenever I click any button it is opening the correct panel for the first time, but while I clicked the 2nd button (icon) it is supposed to change in the action command and thereby 2nd panel. but it is not so. The action command remains with the previous one itself. I have to close and open it again, click the 2nd icon, to open the 2nd panel.

The below code snippet is used while doing OK click action. The mainEvent contains the actionCommand

oKButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent okevent) {
oKBtnActionPerformed(mainEvent,splitPane,okevent);
}
});

private void oKBtnActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent mainevt,JSplitPane sp,java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
if(!("ScriptGen".equals(mainevt.getActionCommand() )))
{
sp.setRightComponent(new TemplatePanel());
}
else
{
sp.setRightComponent(new ClonePanel());
}
}


Can anybody help me understand why the actionCommand is not set while I click appropriate buttons
