JideTabbedPane scroll buttons

[poss]

Hi i am using jide-oss-2.5.5 with Standart JDK 1.6.12.
I have a class inherited from JideTabbedPane and the scrolling buttons(forward/backward) are not working.
Could you please tell me, how to access these buttons, so that i could change listeners/implement my own.

The list button is working correctly

Please give the following code a try. It will also help if you let us know how you override the class.

Code: Select all

                new JideTabbedPane();
                ActionMap map = (ActionMap) UIDefaultsLookup.get("JideTabbedPane.actionMap");
                map.put("scrollTabsForwardAction", new AbstractAction() {
                    @Override
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        System.out.println("scroll forward");
                    }
                });
                map.put("scrollTabsBackwardAction", new AbstractAction() {
                    @Override
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        System.out.println("scroll backward");
                    }
                });


Thanks,

I tried this code, but it doesn't work, the commands in actionPerformed method are not executed.

Sorry that I didn't mention the tricky part. The JideTabbedPane instantiation in my posted code is just to make sure the entry "JideTabbedPane.actionMap" is registered in UIDefaults. You have to create your JideTabbedPane instances after these code.

Ok i inserted this code just before instantiating my inherited class, and still the commands in scroll buttons are not executed.

I wonder if you misunderstood the meaning of scroll buttons. It is not to change the selected tab but to scroll the tab area left and right when there are too many tabs.

I am very sorry. You are absolutely right, i thought these buttons were to change selected tab.
Thanks for great support!
