I'm training with GUI in Java. I use JMenuBar
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
in this there is JMenu
JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
in the bar there are two JMenuItem
JMenuItem creditsItem = new JMenuItem("Credits");
JMenuItem preferenceItem = new JMenuItem("Option");
So I add everything to the bar and to the menu:
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
fileMenu.add(creditsItem);
fileMenu.add(preferenceItem);
Then I want perform different actions depending which of the two ItemMenu in clicked, in particular I want open two differents JDialog
creditsItem.addMouseListener(this);
preferenceItem.addMouseListener(this);
After implementing MouseListener
class MainFrame extends JFrame implements MouseListener
I have to use
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Clicked!!");
}
But the problem is recognizing which of the two JMenuItem has been clicked. I've tought of using switch, but how to know which of the two is clicked is the problem.
