Hiding a JPopupMenu and opening a new one

Add the popup to the JComponent in which it should pop up, for
example a JTable: table.add( popup );
Then you can in the method processMouseEvent() just check if
it is a popup trigger:
public void processMouseEvent( MouseEvent event )
{
  if( event.isPopupTrigger() )
  {
    popup.show( event.getComponent(), event.getX(), event.getY() );
  }
}

This popup menu might not necessarily be associated with any particular Component.

Hi,
you can use your own Popup menu and override the objects' listener with your class.
Ex:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MyDialog extends JDialog
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
          MyDialog my = new MyDialog();
          my.init();
     }
     
     private void init() {
         
          try {
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
          } catch (Exception ex) {
          }
         
          RightClick rc = new RightClick();
          addMouseListener(rc);
          setTitle("Right Click Application");
         
          addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
               public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    setEnabled(false);
                    dispose();
                    System.exit(0);
          }});
               
          pack();
          setSize(200,200);
          show();
     }
     
     public class RightClick extends MouseAdapter {
         
          JPopupMenu popup;
          JMenuItem one;
          JMenuItem two;
          JMenuItem three;
          JMenuItem four;
          JMenuItem five;
          JMenuItem six;
         
          public RightClick() {
               popup     = new JPopupMenu();
               one          = new JMenuItem("one");
               two          = new JMenuItem("two");
               three     = new JMenuItem("three");
               four     = new JMenuItem("four");
               five     = new JMenuItem("five");
               six          = new JMenuItem("six");
                             
               // add actionlisteners to your menu items
               // one.addActionListener( ... );
               
               popup.add(one);
               popup.add(two);
               popup.addSeparator();
               popup.add(three);
               popup.add(four);
               popup.addSeparator();
               popup.add(five);
          }
         
         
          public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                    ShowPopupMenu(e);
        }

        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                    ShowPopupMenu(e);
        }

        private void ShowPopupMenu(MouseEvent e) {
            if (e.isPopupTrigger())
                    popup.show(e.getComponent(),
                                 e.getX(), e.getY());
          }
     }
}

Hi,

I tried variations on this earlier. The problem isn't bringing up the popup, it's bringing up a new one when an old one was just on the screen. Both methods of bringing up popups are sound, but they run into the same problem that I'm encountering.

Thanks,
BU

I had similar problems with the popup until I added it to a JComponent
and opened it like in my example.
I'm not sure what happens if you add it to the JFrame which contains all
the other components. Perhaps all the components show it also ?
