Afternoon,

I have a mouse listener on the tab panel that pops up a menu, however, when a MouseEvent is fired, I want to know if the tab was renamed. Can I get that attribute?

Thank you,
artipton

Are you saying you want to know if a tab is renamed because of the tab editing feature provided by JideTabbedPane?

Thanks,

Yes, that is correct. I need to know if it is renamed so I can set the object 'dirty' and know that it needs saved by the GUI.

We called setTitleAt method on JTabbedPane when title is changed. So I guess you can listen to property change on "indexForTitle" for it.

Thanks,

I added a PropertyChangeListener, but no matter what action I perform (add/remove a tab or rename the tab) it is always the same property: "preferredSize". When you mention "indexForTitle" I assume you mean listen to this property... Is that correct?

You put a breakpoint at JTabbedPane#setTitleAt and see if it gets called when tab editing stops. This is an event fired by JTabbedPane, not by us.

Ah, ok... My mistake. I assumed I needed to put the listener on 'JideTabbedPaneUI'. It seems to bw working now...

Thank you again for your help... Not only is the product great, but you have great support to back it up.
