For my main App I would need a custom container for navigation purpose, see here (Stackoverflow).
As the solution posted did not work for me (I tried with simple System.out.println), I began a new Project to understand, how the container embedding works, but it does not work the way I expected.
So the new App is the Hi World application with the orange color.
I created a new blank container in the GUI designer and added 3 Buttons.
- I created a new blank container in the GUI designer and added 3 Buttons.
- I added an actionListener to them within the container
- I added the container to the form
My StateMachine looked like this:
@Override
protected void onButtonCont_ButtonAction(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button1 clicked");
}
@Override
protected void onButtonCont_Button1Action(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button2 clicked");
}
@Override
protected void onButtonCont_Button2Action(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button3 clicked");
}
(The container I created was named ButtonCont..) Nothing else modified in StateMachine or elsewhere!
Now I started the app and clicked the buttons - but nothing happened.
So I
- Opened the GUI Builder
- Selected MainForm
- selected the three Buttons one after another
- added ActionListeners to each one
Now my StateMachine looks like this:
@Override
protected void onMain_Button2Action(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button3 -now- clicked");
}
@Override
protected void onMain_Button1Action(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button2 -now- clicked");
}
@Override
protected void onMain_ButtonAction(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("button1 -now- clicked");
}
(in addition to the previous onButtonCont- methods)
Starting the app and clicking the buttons results in this output:
button1 -now- clicked
button3 -now- clicked
button2 -now- clicked
What am I doing wrong?
