activating a toolbar menu

hello,

i thought I would just throw this out there while I'm trying to figure
this out myself.

I have extended AbstractOpenMapMenu and created my own menu and have
added it to the tool bar. I have also created my own MouseMode to do
certain mouse-realted activities. What I want to do now is deactivate my
menu when my mouse mode is not active. Stated another way, when a user
has selected my mouse mode, they should also have the option of
accessing my menu options. when a different mouse mode has been
selected, my menu should not be accessible (not active).

I'm thinking of having my menu implement a PropertyChangeListener
interface and have it listen for PropertyChangeEvents from the
MouseDelegator. When the correct event happens, it will ask the
delegator which mouse mode is active, and react accordingly.

Is there a better/more graceful way of doing this?

jeff
