isn't it something like:
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
// Handle the keys
switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
case VK_SHIFT:
System.out.printIn(" The Shift key was pressed." );
break;
}
}
don't hold me on it as i'm kinda rusty now.
What I want to do is make the button do something different when the shift key is pressed when you click it. Currently I am using a MouseEventListener which allows me to to pretty much what tabasco boy said on MouseClick but ive noticed that you sometimes need to Click/Shift-Click the button several times before anything happens. I am assuming this is because im not using the preferable ActionEventListener to check if the button is being used. The problem is i cant find any way to check if the key (shift is a modifier key) is down or not without using the MouseEvent of KeyEvent listeners. I *could* put a Key listener in EVERY focusable object in the gui which checks this but thats horrible inefficient.
