By sharing an InputMap
or ActionMap
, any change to the shared InputMap
or ActionMap
will affect all components sharing the InputMap
or ActionMap
. WHEN_FOCUSED
and WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT
types of InputMap
s can be shared. WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW
InputMap
s cannot be shared.
// Get an InputMap from the desired type of component and initialize it
InputMap im = new JTextArea().getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED);
im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F2"), "actionName"); // Get an ActionMap from the desired type of component and initialize it
ActionMap am = new JTextArea().getActionMap();
am.put("actionName",
new AbstractAction("actionName") {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
process((JTextComponent)evt.getSource());
}
}
); // Use the shared InputMap and ActionMap
component1.setInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED, im);
component2.setInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED, im); component1.setActionMap(am);
component2.setActionMap(am); // Now, any change to the shared InputMap or ActionMap will affect both component1 and component2
im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F3"), "actionName2");
am.put("actionName2",
new AbstractAction("actionName2") {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
process((JTextComponent)evt.getSource());
}
}
);
