MouseEvents for a JTabbedPane Tab component are not bleeding through

Question

I have a JTabbedPane with a custom tab component. That component contains a JLabel (To display the tab title) and a JButton (A close butto

Answer 1

I don't recall seeing such a problem in the TabComponentsDemo, discussed in How to Use Tabbed Panes. You might compare your code with that example as a reference.

Addendum: Re-factoring ButtonTabComponent to include getLabel(), this version of runTest() in TabComponentsDemo adds a button that evinces the desired behavior. In particular, each time the button is pressed, the tabs are redrawn to display the enlarged title.

Update: Modify correct tab component after pane.remove().

public void runTest() {
    pane.removeAll();
    for (int i = 0; i < tabNumber; i++) {
        final int titleIndex = i;
        String title = "Tab " + titleIndex;
        final JButton button = new JButton("Relabel tab");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                int index = pane.indexOfComponent(button);
                ButtonTabComponent btc = (ButtonTabComponent)
                    pane.getTabComponentAt(index);
                JLabel label = btc.getLabel();
                pane.setTitleAt(index, label.getText() + titleIndex);
                label.invalidate();
                pane.repaint();
            }
        });
        pane.add(title, button);
        initTabComponent(i);
    }
    tabComponentsItem.setSelected(true);
    pane.setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT);
    scrollLayoutItem.setSelected(false);
    this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 200));
    this.pack();
    this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    this.setVisible(true);
}
