First, to make my job explaining a bit easier, here's some of my code:
JSpinner spin = new JSpinner();
JFormattedTextField text = getTextField(spin);
text.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// Do stuff...
}
});
...
private JFormattedTextField getTextField(JSpinner spinner) {
JComponent editor = spinner.getEditor();
if (editor instanceof JSpinner.DefaultEditor) {
return ((JSpinner.DefaultEditor )editor).getTextField();
} else {
System.err.println( "Unexpected editor type: "
+ spinner.getEditor().getClass()
+ " isn't a descendant of DefaultEditor" );
return null;
}
}
So as you can see, I got that far. And indeed, when I type in a value into the text field component of the spinner (JFormattedTextField
), and THEN press ENTER, it works.
What I want now is to be able to have the text field respond to ENTER without having to manually type in a new value (which sorta defeats the purpose of making a spinner out of it). How do I do that?
I know this is not the action listener...but maybe this can work for you?
text.addKeyListener( new KeyAdapter() {
@Override
public void keyReleased( final KeyEvent e ) {
if ( e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER ) {
System.out.println( "enter pressed" );
}
}
} );
