Class PopupMenuAdapter

com.sas.swing.adapters.PopupMenuAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContextCommandsConsumerInterface, ContextCommandsInterface, SupportsGenericErrorHandlerInterface, java.awt.event.MouseListener, java.io.Serializable, java.util.EventListener

public class PopupMenuAdapter
implements java.awt.event.MouseListener, SupportsGenericErrorHandlerInterface, ContextCommandsConsumerInterface, ContextCommandsInterface, java.io.Serializable

PopupMenuAdapter is a class to handle populating and displaying a JPopupMenu on a javax.swing.JComponent. The menu items are populated based on a list of Commands. ContextCommandsInterface objects are registered to create the Command list based on a context object. A CommandDispatcher object is added as a listener on each JMenuItem to execute the Command associated with that JMenuItem.
Notes:

• When the component is set, the popupmenu is added to the component and this adapter is added as a mouseListener on the component, if it is not designTime.
• The component is NOT automatically added as a context commands producer.
• If no context has been set, the default context is the component.
• The context is sent as the parameter to the Command.execute(Object) method.
• If the popupMenu is not enabled, it will not be displayed at all.

TreeView
The swing TreeView component is one component that can use the PopupMenuAdapter. By default, no commands will appear in the popup menu for the TreeView, but if the nodes in the TreeView are set to NodeStyle.EDITABLE, then the PopupMenuAdapter will have a rename command. The following code will do such:

treeView.getDefaultNodeStyle().set(NodeStyle.EDITABLE, new Boolean(true));
treeView.setPopupMenuVisible(false);
PopupMenuAdapter popupMenuAdapter = new PopupMenuAdapter();
popupMenuAdapter.setComponent(treeView);
popupMenuAdapter.addContextCommandsProducer(treeView);


You can add more commands to the popup menu by creating you own list of commands and adding another ContextCommandsProducer. See the code below in the TableView for an example of this. The rename command will be separated from your list of commands by a separator.

TableView
The swing TableView component can also use the PopupMenuAdapter. Since the TableView has no commands associated with it, the user must create their own class and list of commands to use. The example below will display two commands in the popup menu and will just do a simple print out of the command to the message log when executed:

PopupMenuAdapter popupMenuAdapter = new PopupMenuAdapter();
popupMenuAdapter.setComponent(tableView);
CommandList myCmdList = new CommandList();
myCmdList.add( new MyCommand("Command 1") );
myCmdList.add( new MyCommand("Command 2") );
popupMenuAdapter.addContextCommandsProducer( myCmdList );

...

class CommandList 
   extends OrderedCollection 
   implements ContextCommandsInterface
{
   public Command[] getContextCommands( Object context, int x, int y )
   {
      Object[] array = toArray();
      Command[] cmdArray = new Command[array.length];
      System.arraycopy( array, 0, cmdArray, 0, array.length );
      return cmdArray;
   }
}

class MyCommand
   extends AbstractCommand
{
   public MyCommand( String txt )
   {
      setText(txt);
   }

   public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
   {
      return new MyCommand( getText() );
   }

   public void execute( Object arg )
   {
      System.out.println( " executed command " + getText() );
   }
}
