Instead of returning false you should do the following:
return super.handleEvent(event);

|I'm writing a java application and am running into some
|problems handling events and actions using AWT...
|
|On a class that extends Frame, I have an action() method which
|nicely handles all the GUI behavior in the window (button presses,
|menu-item selections, etc).
|
|When I add a handleEvent() method to catch the WINDOW_DESTROY event,
|suddenly my action() method is no longer called (I'm only
|returning true if it's a WINDOW_DESTROY event):
|
| public boolean handleEvent(Event event) {
| if (event.id == Event.WINDOW_DESTROY) {
| System.exit(0);
| return true;
| }
| return false;
| }
|
|Shouldn't events which are of type ACTION_EVENT fall-thru
|to my action() method?
|
|Any clues appreciated,
