#3 Swallowed Ctrl-keys?

[PhilipM]

Ji,
I have added the jEdit package to my app something like
this:

class EditComponent extends JEditTextArea implements
PropertyChangeListener
{
///my class contents
}

///in main
JFrame frame=new JFrame("xxxx");
EditComponent edit=new EditComponent(data);
EditMenubar menu=new EditMenubar(frame,edit);
frame.setJMenuBar(menu);
frame.getContentPane().add(edit);

My app has a menubar, and some of the menu options
have accelerators attached (e.g. Ctrl-o for open).
It looks like they are being swallowed by JEditTextArea.
If I replace JEditTextArea with JEditorPane, then the
accelerators work fine.

Any ideas?
,Philip

I had the same problem and found the problem.
Class JEditTextArea, method processKeyEvent: The key event
will not be processed because it is directly forwarded to
the (internal) input handler of the jeditTextArea (for
perfomance reasons). I added the line:
super.processKeyEvent(evt);
to the end of the method, to let the super class process the
KeyEvent too. It works!!

Here is the whole method:
<code>
public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent evt)
{
if(inputHandler == null)
return;
switch(evt.getID())
{
case KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED:
inputHandler.keyTyped(evt);
break;
case KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED:
inputHandler.keyPressed(evt);
break;
case KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED:
inputHandler.keyReleased(evt);
break;
}

super.processKeyEvent(evt); // <--- add this line
}
</code>

ps: sorry for my bad english
