JMenuItem
s that
is displayed when the user selects an item on the JMenuBar
.
In addition to JMenuItem
s, a JMenu
can
also contain JSeparator
s.
In essence, a menu is a button with an associated JPopupMenu
.
When the "button" is pressed, the JPopupMenu
appears. If the
"button" is on the JMenuBar
, the menu is a top-level window.
If the "button" is another menu item, then the JPopupMenu
is
"pull-right" menu.
Menus can be configured, and to some degree controlled, by
Action
s. Using an
Action
with a menu has many benefits beyond directly
configuring a menu. Refer to
Swing Components Supporting Action
for more
details, and you can find more information in How
to Use Actions, a section in The Java Tutorial.
For information and examples of using menus see How to Use Menus, a section in The Java Tutorial.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans
has been added to the java.beans
package.
