trying to add a mouseAdapter to a JButton for a right click to flag the cell. Problem is when I instantiate it onto the button, it won't let me. Maybe because it already has an actionlistener on it? I'm not too sure. Any help is appreciated. I'm creating a Minesweeper game, fyi.
button = new JButton[size][size];
ButtonListener bl = new ButtonListener();
for (int r = 0; r < size; r++) {
for (int c = 0; c < size; c++) {
button[r][c] = new JButton("");
button[r][c].addActionListener(bl);
button[r][c].addMouseListener (new MouseAdapter());``
// error message: cannot instantiate the type MouseAdapter
panel.add(button[r][c]);
eventually if that works, I want to incorporate this into the game:
button.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == 3) { // if right click
button.setText("F");
button.getModel().setPressed(false);
// button.setEnabled(true);
} else {
button.setText("X");
button.getModel().setPressed(true);
// button.setEnabled(false);
}
}
});
For Minesweeper game you have look for
1) JToggleButton
2) add Icon
to JToggleButton
methods
JToggleButton#setIcon();
JToggleButton#setSelectedIcon();
JToggleButton#setDisabledIcon();
3) add MouseListener
to JToggleButton
4) override mouseClicked
with method SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton()
inside
result could be
from code
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.Icon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JToggleButton;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class MyToggleButton extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Icon errorIcon = UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.errorIcon");
private Icon infoIcon = UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.informationIcon");
private Icon warnIcon = UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.warningIcon");
public MyToggleButton() {
final JToggleButton toggleButton = new JToggleButton();
toggleButton.setBorderPainted(false);
toggleButton.setBorder(null);
toggleButton.setFocusable(false);
toggleButton.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
toggleButton.setContentAreaFilled(false);
toggleButton.setIcon((errorIcon));
toggleButton.setSelectedIcon(infoIcon);
//toggleButton.setRolloverIcon((infoIcon));
//toggleButton.setPressedIcon(warnIcon);
toggleButton.setDisabledIcon(warnIcon);
toggleButton.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e) && e.getClickCount() == 1) {
if (toggleButton.isEnabled()) {
toggleButton.setEnabled(false);
} else {
toggleButton.setEnabled(true);
}
}
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
});
add(toggleButton);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
MyToggleButton t = new MyToggleButton();
}
});
}
}
