1. ActionListener    coderanch.com

Now I'm confused. Your saying that "I have all that" means that "processMyAge" is called, yet later you're saying it is not called? Go through my questions one by one, and investigate for each one whether the answer is yes or no. That should lead you to an explanation of what's happening.

2. changing vector from GUI events    coderanch.com

Let me see if I can explain this without posting code. I have a GUI class that extends JFrame and implements listeners, so the calss itself is the listener. The handlers are overriden in this calss. In my driver class, I create a vector to hold instances of of type derived Vehicles (my abstract class), with the specific instances being "vanilla" ...

3. how to get paintComponent to respond to a variety of events    coderanch.com

Hi, I am starting on a program that will show different graphical effects, depending on which button is pushed. So I know I need to use paintComponent, but it seems so un-OO to have a single method with a long list of if-then-else-if... to cover all the possible graphical effects. So before I get too far into it, I wanted to ...

5. Event Listners VS Event Adapters    coderanch.com

Adapters are helper classes which can be used as base class when you don't wan't to implement all event listener's methods. Without adapter one would need to add all unused listener methods to the implementing class. So, adapters only save some typing when no GUI designer is used and probably some (small) amount of memory and storage space. [ September 06, ...

6. Is this really where actionlistener should go?    coderanch.com

I recently programmed my first Java app, which is a utility for a game (the .jar is here: http://www.h3rne.dircon.co.uk/AVT/AVTTargetTracker.htm). The GUI consists of a JFrame into which I've placed a "Board" panel and an "Interface" panel. The interface panel has a series of sub-panels showing various bits of information, one of which has the input elements -some text boxes, spinners and ...

7. What's ActionListener best practice?    coderanch.com

I've been searching for Swing best practice for a long time, but it's still not quite clear. The most 'best practice' suggests that 'java.swing.Action' should be used to encapsulate command, and use an ActionRegistry to get references to thoese actions. But my problem is that most of my Action has to update UI components, so my Action must have reference to ...

22. Identifying GUI events    coderanch.com

Unless the actions performed by the two buttons are similar, I typically create two different event handlers. I also don't like to come up with names for them, so I use anonymouse inner classes.

25. Where does a RuntimeException in actionPerformed() go?    coderanch.com

I dont think so Rob. The reason is if you see the code of pumpOneEventForHierarchy, you will see that it will handle all exceptions, errors(and ThreadDeath...jeez). So even if you add a UncaughtExceptionHandler, its useless. The idea is that he should wrap his potential NPE throwing code in a try-catch within the actionPerformed method itself. cheers, suraj

I suggest that you try writing code with these and see for yourself ...

Rather, write a small test program that exhibits the problem you're having, and post all of that.) Read some Swing tutorials.
