Popup menu

[wangdong]

I have two textPane on a JFrame and want to add a popup menu(copy/past) for each of them. How can I get around of creating two JPopupMenus? just use one for both?

Thank you!

How can I resolve this:

jMenuItemCopy.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {
                    Clipboard clipboard = getToolkit ().getSystemClipboard ();
                    StringSelection selection = new StringSelection(jTextPaneResultConsole.getSelectedText());
                    clipboard.setContents(selection,selection );                    
                }
            });

the jTextPaneResultConsole is a component need to give.

Set up the component to source selected text from in a reference outside your anonymous ActionListener and set it to the correct one just before you pop up your menu. Use it inside the anonymous listener instead of the jTextPaneResultConsole instance.

(Sorry if that response is off track, but your last question was a little vague.)

That solution is ok for the copy action, but not for the past.

I can asign a value to a variable outside the listener, but when I do paste, how the program knows which component I am on.

In a similar fashion. You need to set a reference to the component you are generating the pop up menu for. Then, in whatever listener is actioned in the pop up, it can reference this component, either to get the text, or to set it in a paste.
