#2282 — menu accelerator

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
I use netbeans.
In "Build" menu there is an action named "Stop Build/Run".
I assign to this JMenuItem the accelerator "Escape".
In "Build" menu there is an action named "Build Main Project".
I assign to this JMenuItem the accelerator "F7".

How I this possible in Java?
I try this in my programs MANY times but nothing.
Single keys doesn't work like accelerators.
They need a modifier key.

So, how the netbeans do this?

thanks

PS: I want to add an "F1" accelerator to menuitem:   help->help index

Do you use it, or does it use you?
It's just that it seems to have more control 
at the moment, than you do.

By learning how to code the Java programming 
language.  There is a good reference here.

What 'programs'?  Paste an SSCCE here and we
might be able to see what you are doing wrong,
otherwise all I can suggest is "change the dot to 
a comma in column 47 of line 53" - that *might*
solve the problem (and if it does, buy a lottery ticket
quickly - such luck cannot last).

>So, how the netbeans do this?

Probably the same way as 'native' Java code.

Did you even bother checking the Java code that
your IDE produces?  Or are you just expecting us
to spoon-feed the information to you?  Information
that could be obtained by consulting the relevant 
section of the Java Tutorial, or sometimes even
the JavaDocs..  

.Wait a second, I have to run and get a fork to 
mash up the potato - suitable for spoon-feeding.

I use netbeans because of real-time syntax checking and refactor things.
I do not use netbeans to generate code.

aggressive message!
maybe because my english sucks and you cannot understand what I am 
trying to say.

btw, I am trying to say, how can I assign the "F1" accelerator to a 
menuitem. The following code doesn't work:
---------------------
JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
JMenu jm = new JMenu("Help");
JMenuItem jmi = new JMenuItem("Help Index");
jmi.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F1, 0));
jmi.addActionListener(listener);
jm.add(jmi);
jmb.add(jm);
---------------------
I don't want "Shift+F1", "Ctrl+F1", etc. I want "F1".

Thanks

Thats not an SSCCE!

You have a bug in the code you are *not* showing us.

Here's a working SSCCE based on your snippet:
-----------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.KeyStroke;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class TestAccellerator implements ActionListener {

     TestAccellerator() {

	// So I don't need to edit Chameleon's code at all
         ActionListener listener = this; // ick.

	// Chameleon's snippet *exactly* as in newsgroup
         JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
         JMenu jm = new JMenu("Help");
         JMenuItem jmi = new JMenuItem("Help Index");
         jmi.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F1, 0));
         jmi.addActionListener(listener);
         jm.add(jmi);
         jmb.add(jm);
	// end of Chameleon's snippet

         JPanel p = new JPanel();
         p.add(new JLabel("Panel"));

         JFrame f = new JFrame("Test Accellerator");
         f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         f.add(p);
         f.setJMenuBar(jmb);
         f.pack();
         f.setVisible(true);
     }

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         System.out.printf("Event: command '%s' from object '%s'\n", e
                 .getActionCommand(), e.getSource());
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 new TestAccellerator();
             }
         });
     }

}

-----------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------
When I press F1 I get the output I expected.

I dont know what is SSCCE but now I know.

Holy Sh*t!
F1 working!
I am dump and I spend your time for nothing!
I found a clause "if (key == 0 || modifier == 0) ..." in my code...
What a SHAME.
Sorry.
