I am trying to write some internal button classes; since they are going to share a lot of functionality, I derive them from a single superclass. Unhappily, this seems to cause me problems with the MouseClicked method. Here is my code :
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27

| class MyButton extends Container implements MouseListener {
private Label nameLabel;
public MyButton (String tex) {
nameLabel = new Label(tex, Label.CENTER);
setLayout(null);
addMouseListener(this);
}
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("mouseClicked!");
}
public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("mouseEntered!");
}
public void mouseExited (MouseEvent e) {}
public void mousePressed (MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent e) {}
}
final class DamageViewButton extends MyButton {
public DamageViewButton () {
super("D");
}
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("I hear ya!");
currModuleViewType = VIEWDAMAGE;
updateModuleView();
}
} |
When the mouse enters the button, I get the message "mouseEntered" just as I should. But on clicking, I get neither "mouseClicked" nor "I hear ya!" Does anyone know what the problem might be? Should I not overwrite listener-interface methods?
