Setting Mnemonics

[Mark O' Sullivan]

Hi,
Could someone let me know where mnemonics are required to be set for this project? My server and main application window have a menu bar but client or standalone doesn't. If I don't have a menu bar, are I still required to set mnemonics for the buttons? I currently have set some mnemonics, but can't get the underline appearing underneath the letter in Windows XP. Is this required to be set pro grammatically as it can be done manually?
Thanks.

Hi Mark,

I have set mnemonics for all menu(-items) and buttons. It's not required, because wasn't a "must" requirement, so it's completely up to you. This code:

fileMenu.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_F);

and then pressing the Alt-key results in underlining the F in File.

Kind regards,
Roel

I used a utility class for most of my swing functions that added listeners and mnemonic and labels....

static methods like addLabelledMnemonicButton (JButton buttonToBeAdded, JLabel labelForButton, Component componentToBeUsed) were one of my design features I felt most proud of.
