I have a javax.swing.JTextField
named SearchBox with an actionPerformed Event.
public void SearchBoxActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
//TODO
}
What I want to do is to call the above method from another method in a different class by passing the JTextField
object as an argument.
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class Program {
public static synchronized void QuickSearchResults(JTextField textBox) {
/*
* I want to call ActionPerformed method of textBox if it has any.
*/
}
}
Please note that calling the method name directly is not an option. If I pass 3 different
JTextField
objects, the relevant ActionPerformed methods should be called.
Is there a way to achieve this? I already tried using,
textBox.getActions();
textBox.getActionListeners();
but it didn't go well, and now I'm back in square one.
Thanks in advice!
JTextField#postActionEvent
will trigger the fields ActionListener
s, which is what I assume you're trying to do
public class Program {
public static synchronized void QuickSearchResults(JTextField textBox) {
textBox.postActionEvent();
}
}
