ComboBox close up

[kohinoor2007]

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to trap a combo close up event.ItemListener & action listener event is not doing the thing, I want it do.

The scenario is as follows:

Have a combobox filled with values.When the user browses through the combo drop down list, the Item state or action event is getting called.

Want to call these events only when the pop up window is closed.

Tried something as follows:

public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
{
if(!ComboBox.isPopupVisible()))

callUpdate();
}

It doesnt seem to work, because after the combo pop window is closed,the item event is not getting called.

Any idea how to achieve it....

Thanks

Couldn't you just call the update on the window close event?

The event is thrown when the thing happens, neither before, nor after.

I think you should store the result of the event and react after the popup is closes, ie, with the close event.

Thank u guys.How about using the popupmenu Listener...

That will enable you to know when it's close: PopupMenuListener.popupMenuWillBecomeInvisible

But you still have to store previous events if you want them to be avaliable at that moment.
