Python...MouseClick in ListBox

[kiloran]

I'm looking at creating dialogs using Python, and I'm struggling to work out how to handle a mouseclick event.

Here's a stripped-to-basics version of my code:

Code: Select all

# example of creating a dialog using Python
import uno
from com.sun.star.awt.PosSize import POSSIZE

def addAwtModel(oDM,srv,sName,dProps):
	oCM = oDM.createInstance("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControl"+ srv +"Model")
	while dProps:
		prp = dProps.popitem()
		uno.invoke(oCM,"setPropertyValue",(prp[0],prp[1]))
		oCM.Name = sName
	oDM.insertByName(sName,oCM)
	
def addShareDlg():
	ctx = uno.getComponentContext()
	smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
	oDM = smgr.createInstance("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlDialogModel")
	oDM.Title = 'Test'
	
	oDialog = smgr.createInstance("com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlDialog")
	oDialog.setModel(oDM)
	
	addAwtModel(oDM,'ListBox','myListBox',{})
	listText = oDialog.getControl('myListBox')
	listText.addItem('aaa',1)
	listText.addItem('bbb',2)
	listText.setPosSize(10,10,400,300, POSSIZE)    # x, y, width, height, flag
	
	oDialog.setPosSize(20,0,500,500,POSSIZE)
	oDialog.setVisible(True)
	x = oDialog.execute()

I want to execute some code when I click on an element in the ListBox.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

not sure about the difference between ActionListener and ItemListener. Check this out.

I found some code which implements a listener. It adds a count to a label when a button is clicked.

I then tried adding a ListBox and attached the same listener code to the ListBox.
This essentially works and would form the basis of what I want to do. HOWEVER.... I don't understand why I only need to click once on the button to increment the count, but I need to double-click on an item in the ListBox to achieve the same thing. I would prefer a single-click on the ListBox.

Can anyone provide any guidance

		self.labelControl = labelControl
		self.prefix = prefix
        
	def actionPerformed(self, actionEvent):
		# increase click counter 
		self.nCount = self.nCount + 1
		self.labelControl.setText( self.prefix + str( self.nCount ) )
