    <p>I have an action listener on a JButton and a JTextArea in the button. However when I click the button the text area swallows the event, and nothing happens to the button.</p> <p>How can I click through the area?</p> <p>Thank you</p> <p>Button code</p> <pre><code>public class CustomFoodItemButton extends JButton{ public JTextArea buttonTitle; /** * Public constructor * @param title */ public CustomFoodItemButton(String title) { //Set button text by using a text area buttonTitle = new JTextArea(); buttonTitle.setText(title); buttonTitle.setFont(new Font("Helvetica Neue", Font.PLAIN, 15)); buttonTitle.setEditable(false); buttonTitle.setWrapStyleWord(true); buttonTitle.setLineWrap(true); buttonTitle.setForeground(Color.white); buttonTitle.setOpaque(false); //Add the text to the center of the button this.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); this.add(buttonTitle,BorderLayout.CENTER); //Set the name to be the title (to track actions easier) this.setName(title); //Clear button so as to show image only this.setOpaque(false); this.setContentAreaFilled(false); this.setBorderPainted(false); //Set not selected this.setSelected(false); //Set image setImage(); } </code></pre> <p>GUI Class code</p> <pre><code>private void addFoodItemButtons (JPanel panel){ //Iterate over menu items for (FoodItem item : menuItems) { //Create a new button based on the item in the array. Set the title to the food name CustomFoodItemButton button = new CustomFoodItemButton(item.foodName); //Add action listener button.addActionListener(this); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
