Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to program in Java and use some of the GUI features.  Here's something I'm trying to do but haven't succeeded at yet.

I have a text window (JTextPane) object, and I want to set things up so that when a certain something happens, a popup menu (JPopupMenu) will come up.  But I'd like it so that if the user presses a key, the key is handled just as if the menu hadn't come up--that is, the key-press event will be handled by the JTextPane (or is it the associated document?) as if the user had typed that key into the document.  I've already set up a MenuKeyListener for the popup menu that recognizes the KeyEvent and calls menu.setVisible(false) to get rid of the menu.  So far, so good.  But I don't know how to get the KeyEvent propagated to the text window.  I've tried getKeyListeners() on the JTextPane and then calling the keyTyped explicitly on each listener.  No good--the only listener it found was one I had added myself for debugging.  I also tried textPane.getInputContext().dispatchEvent(e) on the KeyEvent; that didn't do what I wanted either (seemed to have no effect).

Any thoughts?  I haven't found anything else to try.

Thanks,

                           -- Adam
