All - Thanks for all your suggestions regarding getting the JRE's select all functionality for a menu item. I decided to take this approach: when the Select All menu item is selected, generate a Ctrl-A key event and post it to the system queue. Similarly, the following associations can also be made: Copy Ctrl-C Cut Ctrl-X Paste Ctrl-V Close Window Alt-F4 Do you see any problem with this approach? The way I implemented this was to define a class general enough to handle all of the above cases. Instances can be created by passing the appropriate parameters to the constructor. A link to the class is: http://www.cpcug.org/user/kbennett/swing/DelegateToAWTKeyAction.java ... and to its javadoc: http://www.cpcug.org/user/kbennett/swing/DelegateToAWTKeyAction.html ... and to a sample instantiation of the class: http://www.cpcug.org/user/kbennett/swing/sampleUse.java I appreciate any feedback you can offer. - Keith Bennett _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
