[Jython-dev] URGENT: Jython Help

[Slinger, N. <nei...@me...>]

Hi,

I have just started using Jython and have come stuck on a certain issue.

I am calling a function when a button is pressed. e.g.

def buttonPressed(event):
	print "HELLO"

def showButton():
	...
	button = swing.JButton("Hello", actionPerformed=buttonPressed)
	...

This works fine obviously, however, I need to be able to send a string to
the 'buttonPressed' function. Here is an example to show what I mean.

def buttonPressed(event, text):
	print text

def showButton():
	...
	text = "Hello"
	button = swing.JButton("Hello", actionPerformed=buttonPressed(text))
	...

This appears not to work, as it requires 2 arguments. If I remove the
required 'event' argument it doesn't wait until the button has been pressed
before going to 'buttonPressed'.

Can you please help me, pass the string to the 'buttonPressed' function?

I would appreciate a prompt response as I need to get this working ASAP.

Regards,


Neil.
