Question

In netbeans I have a JDialog with a JPanel component (called Keypad). I simply draged and droped the JPanel Keypad onto JDialog and netbeans generated the code. On the Keypad I have an Enter button for which I am trying to detect ActionPerformed (button pressed) in the JDialog. Is this possible and how do I do it?

Answer 1

You have to add an ActionListener to your Enter button. You need to pass a reference to your JDialog in the JPanel constructor so you can communicate with it. You either need to implement ActionListener or you can use an anonymous class:

enterButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { 
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { 
        // Do something to your JPanel reference
    } 
});
