Okay I need help with this , My Brain thinks it's right but the keyevent compiles but doesn't do anything, I have it set , so that that code get's users keycode, Then If the item in the list box is selected and they press d, the item is removed. I can't figure out why it doesn' work.
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {
int code = event.getKeyCode();
if (code == KeyEvent.VK_D) {
String [] items = lstbox.getSelectedItems();
for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i ++) {
lstbox.remove(i);
}
}
}
shouldn't it be event.VK_D instead of KeyEvent.VK_D?
maybe try that.. also, make sure you have focus. If neither of those work, maybe there is something wrong with other parts of your code, in which case you'd have to post it all.
Hope that helps.
Which component did you add the KeyEvent to?
And VK_D is a static field of KeyEvent so don't change it.
In the book I have, It tells me to add the keyevent if I want to get that key to select the D key. Here's the entire code, I'm creating a movie database, and in The list when the user types in d it represents a delete and removes everything from the list? I can't figure it out? I've changed it since my last post but still nothing works, Any help appreciated, thanks,

Did you say that when you press D, then the whole list erases? Or is that what it's supposed to do?
That's what I want it to do, I want it, so that when i select something on the list that when I press D it deletes It, Right now everything i've tried has not worked, it doesn't work And I want it to Delete items on the list
The keyTyped callback is not invoked for all kinds of keys....

btw... whats with the Canvas ?
Are professor doesn't want us to work on anything in regards to applets, He wants us to work in Frames, Canvases. I fogot the reason he told us, but He said it's because it enables us to do more with java? I can't remember his explanation sorry, he said they were better t hough?
Well thats dust dung.
Frames are the primary java (visuel) objects and the rest is just containment. Checek out container.....
