I have a commercial application that subclasses
component. We sell mostly to those who require
JDK 1.0.2 to cover most browsers, but we are
starting to move in the direction of JDK 1.1+.
I have a component that subclasses
java.awt.Component. In JDK 1.0.2, the keyDown
method of my subclass of Component gets called,
but it does not get called in JDK 1.1.1, 1.1.2,
1.1.3. I've traced the call stack, andComponent.handleEvent is calling mouseDown,
and the right thing happens, but when it calls
keyDown, the wrong thing happens.
When I run this test application on JDK 1.0.2,
it runs great. When I use the exact same
class file in JDK 1.1+, then again, mouseDown
events are captured, but keyDown events
are not passed to my class (Component.keyDown
is called instead.)
Compiling the applet in JDK 1.1.3, 1.1.4, does
not make a difference, still the same result.
The STRANGE thing is that this is NOT a problem
in the Netscape 4.02 or Internet Explorer 4.0
JVM's. The applet below, compiled with
JDK 1.1.4, works as it should.
So therefore, this may not be a problem for
most of our customers, but then again it may.
In the meantime, it slows down our transition
to JDK1.1 because it makes the testing process
difficult.
Here is the test application....
//file: TestKeyDown.java
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class TestKeyDown extends Applet {
TextField feedback;
public void init() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
Panel bottomPanel = new Panel();
bottomPanel.setBackground(Color.white);
feedback = new TextField("", (50)) ;
feedback.setEditable(false) ;
bottomPanel.add(feedback) ;
add("South", bottomPanel);
MyCanvas canvas = new MyCanvas(this);
add("Center", canvas);
}
// Posts messages to the feedback window of the applet.
public void messageFeedback (String str) {
if (str == null) str = "";
feedback.setText( str ) ;
}
}
class MyCanvas extends Canvas {
TestKeyDown _applet;
public MyCanvas(TestKeyDown applet) {
_applet = applet;
//setSize(200, 200);
setBackground(Color.red);
}
// public boolean handleEvent(Event evt) {
// if (evt.id == Event.KEY_PRESS || evt.id == Event.KEY_ACTION)
// return keyDown(evt, evt.key);
// else return super.handleEvent(evt);
// }
public boolean keyDown(Event evt, int key) {
setBackground(Color.blue);
repaint();
_applet.messageFeedback("Key Down " + key);
return true;
}
public boolean mouseUp(Event evt, int x, int y) {
setBackground(Color.white);
repaint();
_applet.messageFeedback("Mouse Up " + x + " " + y);
return true;
}
public boolean mouseDown(Event evt, int x, int y) {
setBackground(Color.red);
repaint();
_applet.messageFeedback("Mouse Down " + x + " " + y);
return true;
}
}
Here is the test HTML...
