Hi Bygbobbo,
The easiest way to get the event when a button has been clicked is to use

KeyListener

s. Simply implement the

KeyListener

interface and add it to the component(s) you'd like to listen to

KeyEvent

s on via the

addKeyListener (KeyListener)

method. Like this:

  someComponent.addKeyListener (someKeyListener);

The methods required to implement the KeyListener are as follows:

  public void keyTyped (KeyEvent event) {} 
  public void keyPressed (KeyEvent event) {} 
  public void keyReleased (KeyEvent event) {}

The

KeyEvent

object can give you all the data you need, including modifiers like alt, ctrl, etc.

Hope this Helps,
MarsChelios

I was having a problem of where to add the:

addKeyListener(this);

I put this in the init()
