When a button that has an onAction method assigned, the onAction method is fired when the mouse button is released whilst the mouse pointer is over/on the button, some onMouseUp event I guess, but when a onAction is assigned to a label or image without the showClicked property checked the onAction method always get fired.

I would nice if an element on a window that has an onAction behaves the same as a button and only fires the method only when the mouse pointer is over/on the element and on a mouse up event.

so if you have a label with an onaction then that is also done on mouse release, not on mouse press:

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
{
if (SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(e) && isEnabled())
{
eventExecutor.fireActionCommand(true, AbstractScriptLabel.this, e.getModifiers(), e.getPoint());
}
}

So it should behave pretty much the same.

You're right, but only when the property showClick is checked √ , when it's not the onAction always fires when clicked.

no a label with an onaction == showclick == false
And that onaction is only called on mouse release

Hi,

I tested it also, and found out that onAction is always fired (showClick == false) even if you navigate away from the label and then release the mouse.
I would expect that if you navigate away from the label and then release the mouse it would not fire the onAction event.

yes this is a difference between a label (with a onaction) and a button with an onaction
The mouseReleased is even triggered when the component is not again on that target
for a button this is the same thing but Swing (the java classes) has a special "armed" property and that is set to false when the mouse moves out of the component, and because of that it will not fire the action.

If you need this also for the label, place make a case , referring to this forum post.
