Used code for implementing the menu bar and the context menu in my notepad-like text editor so I would say that an AbstractListener would probably be overkill in this particular case. While not as consice as it would be with an AbstractListener I feel it's easier to read in my program. Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate it!
