I have 6 JLabel and each is having a different instance of a mouselistener class attached. How to know which JLabel has been clicked ? These JLabel form a two dimentional array.
You use getSource to get a refrence to the object which is clicked on:
label1.addActionListener(new yourListener());
label2.addActionListener(new yourListener());
public class yourListener extends MouseAdapter{
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
JLabel labelReference=(JLabel)e.getSource();
labelReference.someMethod();
}
}
The easiest way I did something like that was, to use JButtons and make them look like JLabels by the using this syntax formatting.
jButton.setBorder( BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder( 2, 2, 2, 2 ) );
jButton.setBorderPainted( false );
jButton.setContentAreaFilled( false );
jButton.setFocusPainted( false );
jButton.setHorizontalAlignment( SwingConstants.LEFT );
Then, what you want to is add an ActionLister and a ActionCommand. For example
jButton.addActionListener( this );
jButton.setActionCommand( "label1" );
Then just handle the actionListners to do what you wanted for each label.
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent arg0 )
{
String command = arg0.getActionCommand();
if( command.equalsIgnoreCase( "label1" ) )
{
//label1 code
}
}
As mentioned below this also has the added benefit of supporting both keyboard and mouse activities.
I put this together based on your description:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
JLabel l = new JLabel("Label " + (i + 1));
l.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
JLabel l = (JLabel) e.getSource(); // here
System.out.println(l.getText());
}
});
f.add(l);
}
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.pack();
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);
}
I think the line marked // here
is mostly what you need.
