Suppose we have a bunch of buttons in a particular Container saying Red, Green, Blue as we illustrated earlier. Then a good action method would be
|
public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg) {
|
if( evt.target instanceof Button)
-
changeColor((String) arg); // changeColor Supplied by the user processes color defined by text string used in defining buttons
|
return true; // tell runtime that this event fully processed
|
}
|
void changeColor(String bname) { // A suitable user routine to be called by above action
|
if( bname.equals("Red")) setBackground(Color.red);
|
else if (bname.equals("Green")) setBackground(Color.green);
|
else if (bname.equals("Blue")) setBackground(Color.blue);
|
else setBackground(Color.pink); // our favorite color
|
}
