help with Events

egiblock · October 6th, 2003, 11:39 PM

been working with the Beginning Java 2 (1.3 edition.)
page 629 working with the SketchFrame java file..

i don't understand how to create event handlers for when someone clicks on the menu and clicks on exit.. where do i define the exit button so when someone clicks on it, it closes the program..

Here's some of my code:

Code:

quitProgramAction = new FileAction("Quit Program",KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('Q', Event.CTRL_MASK));

Code:

addMenuItem(fileMenu, quitProgramAction);

Code:

private JMenuItem addMenuItem(JMenu menu, Action action)
{
JMenuItem item = menu.add(action);

KeyStroke keystroke = (KeyStroke)action.getValue(action.ACCELERATOR_KEY);
    if(keystroke != null)
      item.setAccelerator(keystroke);
      return item;
}

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks..
