Java Menu Action Masks

[copthesaint]

Im just wondering, When you create a menu item, eg:

Java:

menuItem = new JMenuItem("Launch", KeyEvent.VK_A); menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_A, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK)); //Important line of code :) menuItem.getAccessibleContext().setAccessibleDescription("This doesn't really do anything yet"); menu.add(menuItem);

What can I use just to set the accelerator as 'A' for example. without a meta, Shift Crtl mask.

Doesnt help me, already looked at page before I posted this. Bump
How would I do this for F1?

[Tony]

so you are using

code:

static KeyStroke        getKeyStroke(Character keyChar, int modifiers)           Returns a shared instance of a KeyStroke that represents a KEY_TYPED event for the specified Character object and a set of modifiers.

but...

and so the linked page also specifies

code:

static KeyStroke        getKeyStroke(char keyChar)           Returns a shared instance of a KeyStroke that represents a KEY_TYPED event for the specified character.

unless I'm misinterpreting something...

No I was using

Java:

getKeyStroke(int keyCode, int modifiers)

but now looking at it I thought "I bet this is an extremly easy problem to fix if I check KeyEvent" surly enough super easy: getKeyText(int keyCode) So I fixed it from

Java:

menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_A, ActionEvent.CTRL_MASK)); //too menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.getKeyText(KeyEvent.VK_A)));

I need to pay more attention -_-. thnx for helping anyways I found my answer from what u said.
