SwingActions and actionPerformed

[mkornatzki]

Hi,

is there a reason why i can't with the SwingDesigner add an actionPerformed to an action?
There is only the possibility to create a propertyChange.

I'm not sure what you mean. Have you looked at the code for Action classes generated by Swing Designer?

The actionPerformed() method is part of the basic definition of an Action (ActionListener), so it is already created for you.

yep, i forgot something to say.

i have a factoryMethod which returns a configured instance of abstractAction with text, icon and so on.
But this is only one part.
The other part should be to immplement the actionPerformed and i hoped that in the property editor showing properties i can make a double click on an entry for actionPerformed. But there is only an entry for propertyChange.

cheers, michael

Please provide a test case showing exactly what you are trying to do.

When Swing Designer creates an Action, the actionPerformed() method is automatically created as it is always required.

If you are referencing a preexisting Action, it should already have an actionPerformed() method defined.
