make an instance of ur desired window in the following JLabel click action

    JLabel jLabel = new JLabel();
    jLabel.setText("Click to open new window");

    jLabel.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter()
    {
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
      {
        JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
        myFrame.setBounds(100,100,200,200);
      }
    });

This is not doing it. I basic want to have one word as a clickable link in line of text
Example: this is a long line of text ending by a thisIsALink
This mean when i click the the word 'thisIsALink' i shoud be able to open a new window. (same as a link on a wepage)

Agbeko.

The context in which i want this is a little different, So let me reformulate the situtaion in these questions:

-I have a map m< keyString, <a list of MyObject> >
-My Object has two String data fields: data1, data2

-I have a file with the following content:
keyString1   dataString1, dataString1, dataString2, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2
keyString2   dataString1, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2

-i would like to read the file into map m and have something like:
 MyObject.keyString = keyString1;
 MyObject.data1 = dataString1; MyObject.data2 = dataString2  ......  TILL THE END OF THE FILE

-after all this, i would like to print the content of my map m int the following format:
keyString1
 dataString1, dataString2
 dataString1, dataString2
 dataString1, dataString2

keyString2
 dataString1, dataString2
 dataString1, dataString2
 dataString1, dataString2
============== NOW COMES MY QUESTION ========================
1.) I would like dataString2  to appear on my GUI as a link so that when clicked, it will open a new window.  How?
2.) How do i read this file, store it and print it?

thanks

>>-I have a file with the following content:
>>keyString1   dataString1, dataString1, dataString2, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2
>>keyString2   dataString1, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2, dataString1, dataString2
What's between keyString1 and dataString1 ? a tab? Why not a comma also?

>>-after all this, i would like to print the content of my map m int the following format:
On paper? In a Window of your GUI?

I think I showed you in my previous comment how to do 1)

>>I think I showed you in my previous comment how to do 1)
1.) is good, very good example actually.

>>What's between keyString1 and dataString1 ? a tab? Why not a comma also?
Oh sorry, my bad, there should be a comment also

>>On paper? In a Window of your GUI?
on GUI with the link at the end of it.

>>What's between keyString1 and dataString1 ? a tab? Why not a comma also?
Oh sorry, my bad, there is no comma at all

================= CORRECTED FILE FORMAT ===================
keyString1 dataString1 dataString2 dataString1 dataString2 dataString1 dataString2
keyString2 dataString1 dataString2 dataString1 dataString2 dataString1 dataString2



Thanks

>> Oh sorry, my bad, there should be a comment also
a commA, you probably mean ;°)

I have no more time today. Have to go offline. I'll have a look at it.

Reading the file will be somehting like this:

try {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("infilename"));
        String line, key;
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
            String parts[] = line.split("\\s*,\\s*"); // splits the line of the file into the different parts
            key = parts[0];
            List theList = new ArrayList();
            for (int i=1; i<parts.length; i=i+2) {
                MyObject obj = new Object();
                obj.setData1( parts[i] );
                obj.setData2( parts[i+1] );
                theList.add( obj ); // Store in the list
            }
            map.put(key, theList); // store the list in the map using the key
        }
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }

>> Oh sorry, my bad, there is no comma at all

Then in the previous replace

>>     String parts[] = line.split("\\s*,\\s*"); // splits the line of the file into the different parts

by

>>     String parts[] = line.split("\\s*"); // splits the line of the file into the different parts

How are things going?

hey zzynx, back? :)
things are going pretty good.

How do i declare a map m< keyString, <a list of MyObject> > ?

Thanks
