Client property name | LafWidget.TEXT_EDIT_CONTEXT_MENU
Description | Client property name for specifying that the text component should have the edit context menu (with Cut / Copy / Paste / ... menu items). This property can be set either on a single text component or globally on `UIManager`. The value in both cases should be either `Boolean.TRUE` or `Boolean.FALSE`.
See also | TEXT_SELECT_ON_FOCUS client property.
Sample code | `import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.*; import org.jvnet.lafwidget.LafWidget; import org.jvnet.substance.SubstanceLookAndFeel; /** * Test application that shows the use of the * {@link LafWidget#TEXT_EDIT_CONTEXT_MENU} client property. * * @author Kirill Grouchnikov * @see LafWidget#TEXT_EDIT_CONTEXT_MENU */ public class TextEditContextMenu extends JFrame { /** * Creates the main frame for <code>this</code> sample. */ public TextEditContextMenu() { super("Text edit context menu"); this.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); final JTextField jtf = new JTextField("sample text"); jtf.setColumns(20); JPanel main = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER)); this.add(main, BorderLayout.CENTER); main.add(jtf); JPanel controls = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT)); final JCheckBox hasEditContextMenu = new JCheckBox( "Has edit context menu"); hasEditContextMenu.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { jtf.putClientProperty(LafWidget.TEXT_EDIT_CONTEXT_MENU, hasEditContextMenu.isSelected() ? Boolean.TRUE : null); } }); controls.add(hasEditContextMenu); this.add(controls, BorderLayout.SOUTH); this.setSize(400, 200); this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); } /** * The main method for <code>this</code> sample. The arguments are * ignored. * * @param args * Ignored. * @throws Exception * If some exception occured. Note that there is no special * treatment of exception conditions in <code>this</code> * sample code. */ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SubstanceLookAndFeel()); JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { new TextEditContextMenu().setVisible(true); } }); } }` The screenshot below shows a text field when this property is not installed. Some text is selected and the right mouse button is clicked - no context edit menu is shown: After installing this property on the text field, selecting some text (not necessary) and right-clicking the mouse, the context edit menu is shown:
