This is an extension of : Make a TitledBorder title editable
To be more specific, I want the TitledBorder to be editable when the title is double clicked. I'm placing the Border around a java Box that uses BoxLayout. The double click would preferably open a JTextField right there, but if that cannot be done, opening another window to edit the title is acceptable.
TitledBorder editableBorder = new TitledBorder(editableString);
editableBorder.setTitleJustification(TitledBorder.CENTER);
Box containerBox = new Box(BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
containerBox.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(editableBorder, new EmptyBorder(10, 0, 10, 0)));
Box insideBox = new Box(BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
insideBox.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(new BufferedImage(200,40,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB))));
containerBox.add(insideBox);
Here is an example. The MouseListener uses a JPopupMenu to display the text field. This means you can cancel editing by using the Escape key.

public class TitledBorderListener extends MouseAdapter
{
private JPopupMenu editPopup;
private JTextField editTextField;
private TitledBorder titledBorder;
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
if (e.getClickCount != 2)
return;
// Edit the border on a double click
JComponent component = (JComponent)e.getSource();
Border border = component.getBorder();
if (border instanceof TitledBorder)
{
titledBorder = (TitledBorder)border;
FontMetrics fm = component.getFontMetrics( titledBorder.getTitleFont() );
int titleWidth = fm.stringWidth(titledBorder.getTitle()) + 20;
Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(0, 0, titleWidth, fm.getHeight());
if (bounds.contains(e.getPoint()))
{
if (editPopup == null)
createEditPopup();
// Position the popup editor over top of the title
editTextField.setText( titledBorder.getTitle() );
Dimension d = editTextField.getPreferredSize();
d.width = titleWidth;
editPopup.setPreferredSize(d);
editPopup.show(component, 0, 0);
editTextField.selectAll();
editTextField.requestFocusInWindow();
}
}
}
private void createEditPopup()
{
editTextField = new JTextField();
// Add an Action to the text field to save the new title text
editTextField.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
String value = editTextField.getText();
titledBorder.setTitle( value );
editPopup.setVisible(false);
editPopup.getInvoker().revalidate();
editPopup.getInvoker().repaint();
}
});
// Add the editor to the popup
editPopup = new JPopupMenu();
editPopup.setBorder( new EmptyBorder(0, 0, 0, 0) );
editPopup.add(editTextField);
