How to remove JPopupMenu object from component

[Naren Chivukula]

Hi all,

It's really pleasure to switch again into www.javaranch.com after several days of hectic coding in EJBs.
Now I'm currently working on java swings. I faced a problem where if I right click my mouse I could able to display popup menu using JPopupMenu and if I move my mouse I should get that displayed popup to be removed.
I used MouseMotionAdapter for this and within the mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
what can I write the code, so that my task is fulfilled.

Thanks in advance,
Narendranath.

I don't think that the JPopupMenu component works like that. If you have windows, press the right click button and move your mouse does it disappear? No so I don't think the components work like that. You could hide it or use another component... Check the Sun website!! It has useful resources on handy methods!

Hi Naren,
ya, we can do it.
By calling setVisible(false), in the mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) I could achieve it.

SAi.

Can't we do it using
panelComponent.remove(popUpMenuComponent)

yes, we can do it.
