JPopupMenu not responding

[FlyNn]

Hi Java fans,

I have a pickle situation. So I have this RightClickMenu object which extends JPopupMenu.

package GUI;

import javax.swing.*;

public class RightClickMenu extends JPopupMenu {

    private final static JMenu set_stage = new JMenu("Set Stage");

    public RightClickMenu() {

        super();

        JMenuItem set_warranty = new JMenuItem("Set Warranty");

        JMenuItem print_ber = new JMenuItem("Print BER");

        JMenuItem print_documentation = new JMenuItem("Print Documentation");

        JMenuItem add_quick_note = new JMenuItem("Add Quick Note");

        JMenuItem view_order = new JMenuItem("View Order");

        createStages();

        addSeparator();
        add(set_stage);
        add(set_warranty);
        add(print_ber);
        add(print_documentation);
        add(add_quick_note);
        add(view_order);
    }

    private static void createStages() {

        JMenuItem letter_sent = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.LETTER_SENT);

        JMenuItem console_received = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.CONSOLE_RECEIVED);

        JMenuItem console_repaired = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.CONSOLE_REPAIRED);

        JMenuItem console_posted = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.CONSOLE_POSTED);

        JMenuItem quarantine = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.QUARANTINE);

        JMenuItem quarantine_to_invoice = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.QUARANTINETOINVOICE);

        JMenuItem ber = new JMenuItem(OrderV2.BER);

        set_stage.add(letter_sent);
        set_stage.add(console_received);
        set_stage.add(console_repaired);
        set_stage.add(console_posted);
        set_stage.add(quarantine);
        set_stage.add(quarantine_to_invoice);
        set_stage.add(ber);
    }
}

It does get displayed when needed and all that - but. If I hover over the JMenuItems, they do not change background color to blue as a selected item. I had action listeners added to some of the items to see if responds to anything and it did print out stuff when items get clicked.

Thanks for your responses.

Ah... that does make more sense :)

I don't see any ActionListener being added to any JMenuItem at all; how is this thing supposed to do anything?

kind regards,
