When using actions, I find that the accelerator key is shown differently in
a menu than it is in a toolbar. For example, using the code below the menu
item correctly shows "F9", as does it's tooltip, but a button on a toolbar
shows "Alt-R" as its tooltip. Interestingly, this new key also works to
activate the action.
private final class RunAction extends AbstractAction {
public RunAction() {
super();
putValue(IAction.NAME, "Run");
putValue(IAction.SHORT_DESCRIPTION, "Run the current project");
putValue(IAction.MNEMONIC_KEY, new Integer('R'));
putValue(IAction.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("F9"));
ULCIcon icon = new
ULCIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/run.png"));
putValue(IAction.SMALL_ICON, icon);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
// my stuff...
}
}
In other cases, I don't set the IAction.ACCELERATOR_KEY, but the tooltips on
the buttons are set to varous values such as "Alt-NumPad ." I noticed that
if I don't set the IAction.MNEMONIC_KEY, I get different results.
I tested this on 6.1 and also just on 6.1.1 using Windows XP.
Thanks for any insight you can give.
