Im using a JPanel to make a GUI for Game Of Life, my class extends JFrame and implements MouseListener, but when im clicking on a JLabel, the MouseListener works only once.
Any idea what to do?its not a problem in the code in my GameOfLife class because im also trying to print some string and it only works once.
Thanks! here is the class:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Image;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.Border;

In your Constructor you assign a mouse listener to all of your cells which you have in a multidimensional array of JLabel
. However, then in your updateGeneration()
you create another JLabel[][]
array but don't assign your mouse listener to cells again.
To fix you need to add a mouse listener to all the cells again in updateGeneration()
. Or instead of creating a new JLabel[][]
just update the state of the JLabel
in the existing array.
