Popup Nightmare

[Andy_Hollywood]

Hello

i've implements a component that is similair to a JComboBox, but will allow me to place any JComponent inside it, so i can make a more powereful editor.....

Now this works fine as long as i do'nt use any components on the inserted component that do popup action.. like a JComboBox... now i'm guessing this is because they are all trying to use the same popup instance....

does anyone know a way of getting around this so that they can all use there own? or is there a way i can make my custom combo box component allow for inner components that have popups?

Hope that makes sense

Well i had a play and the basic solution was to use a popup instead of a JPopupMenu, then add a mouse listener to the entire hierarchy part from the button that invokes the mouse listener and the panel that is poped up, then when a mouse click is detected hide the popup and remove the listener from everything.

And after a little more investigation, this is exactly what the basicpopupUI us doing.....

anybody need the source then let me know....
