actionPeformed Method

On the method specify "returns obj-type" and replace the "return statement with "return variable" where variable is the same object-type as on the method statement.

Hi all,

nice to see this list active again and new projects in motion.

how can I return the filename to the caller program, the u/m code is called when the menubar item or toolbar button is pressed, this obtains the zip file which is what I want to have access to in the caller program.

can this method return the variable zps (in this example) or is there another way where I can access this fm the caller program.

as always , any help is appreciated.

PS: I am an eComStation (OS/2) user so all new stuff being discussed here will also be tried on this OS and feedback given.

class eZE.OpenAction dependent extends AbstractAction
method OpenAction( text = String, icon = ImageIcon )
super( text, icon )

method actionPerformed( e = ActionEvent ) public
-- load file chooser using filters
fc = JFileChooser( "d:\\download" )
fc.setFileSelectionMode( JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY )
fc.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed( 0 )
fc.addChoosableFileFilter( MyFilter() )

-- open file chooser
returnedval = fc.showOpenDialog( parent.mainwindow )

-- query the filechooser to get user input
if returnedval = JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION then
do
zp = fc.getSelectedFile()
zf = ZipFile( zp )
entries = zf.entries()

-- store total entires into variable
zipentries = zf.size()

-- set out conter
i = 0

-- convert selected archive to string format
zps = zp.toString()

loop while entries.hasMoreElements()
ze = ZipEntry entries.nextElement()
...
...
...
end

catch e=IOException
say "Open Zip Error ==>"||e

end

-- update status bar with archive information
parent.sb.setMessage( zps )
parent.sbrb.setMessage( zipentries||" files" )

return

actionPeformed Method

tried this before (not mentioned in my original post...sorry :-) ) and
compiler returns the flwg:

>>>
method has return type "java.lang.string" so cannot override or implement
method with no return type in class
"java.awt.event.ActionListener"
<<<

if I am no mistaken this method does not allows returns?

actionPeformed Method

Ah, didn't read to see your code I was considering your earlier example
which I think would work better for you. No reason to extend the action
class. You want a main class that has a loop that can sleep and wait
for events.

actionPeformed Method

that's right Mike.

Or applying the common java pattern of directly implementing the
ActionListener interface in the originating class, then adding itself as an
ActionListner.
Then you would have direct access to any needed private methods and or
properties.

I see a variation of this done often with anonymous classes in java.
