swing - java : right click event

Question

on TableHeader, I try to make a right click with the mouse as follow :

tableHeader.click(MouseEvent.BUTTON3);

but this is not working, have you any idea/suggestion ?

thanks,

Answer 1

• if it is because you want to show a popupmenu then you can do it like this::

  popupMenu.show(tableHeader, 0, 0);

---

• if it is because you want to get into a mouselistener like:

  class MyMouseListener implements MouseListener{
  @Override
  public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
      if(SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(arg0)){
          //my code
      }
  }
  //...
  

then you can put your code into a method and open the method

 //open the method:
 myMouseListenerReplacement();


//the method
private void myMouseListenerReplacement(){
 //My code
}
