Hi,

I have a tabbedPane with some tabbedpanetabs. In each tab, there is a button to preview a document. The hotkey is always (ctrl-p). When I hit (ctrl-p), the listeners in *all* tabs are alerted, so in each tab a document is loaded.

Of course, I would like that only the current tab listens to the hotkey or at least that I could know the current tab to avoid the action in the other tabs. What would be the best solution?

Regards, Daniel

Hi,

the following should work: define the POPUPMENU for hot key not on TABBEDPANE level but on each TABBEDPANETAB level - then the corresponding action listener of TABBEDPANETAB should be called.

Hi,

The hotkey is defined through the button's attribute "hotkey". Each Button is inside the corresponding tabbedpanetab.

I suppose you are writing about an alternative way to define hotkeys: with popupmenu. I never used this. Is there somewhere a description about it?

...yes, it's in the developer's guide.

Other possibility for you: you can tell the TABBEDPANE that it writes back the current tab-position (0,1,2,...). TABBEDPANE-VALUE is the corresponding attribute. Then you know where the user currently is - any only invoke this preview, that fits to the selected tab.
