public class JCMenu

extends Object

JCMenu()

create(MenuContainer, String[])

Creates a menu based on the label information provided by the items parameter.

findSubMenu(Menu, String)

Returns a submenu with a particular title.

 public JCMenu()

 public static Menu create(MenuContainer mb,
                           String items[])

Creates a menu based on the label information provided by the items parameter. The first string is the title of the menu itself. If the string is prepended with an underscore "_", it is a submenu that is defined later. If the string is of zero length, a separator is added to the menu.

Here is an example of how it is used:

public String[] fileMI =   {"File", "Open", "Save", "Save As...",
"_Import", "Print...", "", "Exit"};
public String[] importMI = {"From File", "From URL"};
Menu mb = new MenuBar();
Menu fileMenu = JCMenu.create(mb, fileMenuItems);
Menu importMenu = JCMenu.create(JCMenu.findSubMenu(fileMenu, importMI[0]),
importMI);

Note that the technique for creating a submenu involves the findSubMenu() member.

Parameters:

mb - the parent Menu or MenuBar

items[] - the array of strings that define the menu item labels

Returns:

the Menu containing specified menu items

 public static Menu findSubMenu(Menu m,
                                String l)

Returns a submenu with a particular title.

Parameters:

m - the menu that is searched for the specified item

l - the title of the menu of interest

Returns:

the menu matching the query, or null if none is found
