setAction actionPerformed additions?

[Marichele]

Hi,

I'm new to Java.

I have a component from a class that references an action from another class. I want to fire one more step after the action is done(enable a button). FileBrowser is a class that allows the user to choose a directory. txtbtnlocation is a class of a textfield and a button.

FileBrowser browse = new FileBrowser(this, FileBrowser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY,FileBrowser.SAVE_DIALOG);

txtbtnLoc.setAction(browse);

I am just looking for some basic ideas of where to go from here. I don't want to change the existing class code at all, I suspect I will need to override the actionPerformed of FileBrowser, but I get a method missing error

Thanks in advance

Hi Marichele:

You must be a little more specific.

If I unterdstood you well, you want to enable the txtbtnLoc button when the user select a directory from FileBrowser.

If this is the case, it depends on the FileBrowser implementation. If, as I suposse, the FileBrowser acts like a normal JDialog, it must return an integer when you call showDialog or something similar. That integer must have a ACCEPT_BUTTON or CANCEL_BUTTON value. You just have to analyze this value and in case of an ACCEPT_BUTTON call the txtbtnLoc.button.setEnabled(true) directive.

But, again, I don't know if that's what you need.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for replying so quickly but I solved the issue.

very simply, I did a Method call of the superclass...

private class FileBrowserLocation extends FileBrowser
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent pEvent) {
>> super.actionPerformed(pEvent); // Method call of the superclass
locationEnable();
}
} // end of FileBrowserLocation

I was trying to complicate it too much.

Thanks again for replying!
