public class JMenu
extends JMenuItem
implements Accessible, MenuElement

An implementation of a menu -- a popup window containing JMenuItems that is displayed when the user selects an item on the JMenuBar. In addition to JMenuItems, a JMenu can also contain JSeparators.

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.

For information and examples of using menus see How to Use Menus, a section in The Java Tutorial.

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 JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

This method is a property of the look and feel code and is used to manage the idiosyncracies of the various UI implementations.

Returns:
the delay property

setDelay

public void setDelay(int d)
Sets the suggested delay before the menu's PopupMenu is popped up or down. Each look and feel (L&F) may determine it's own policy for observing the delay property.

getSubElements

public MenuElement[] getSubElements()
Returns an array of MenuElements containing the submenu for this menu component. If popup menu is null returns an empty array. This method is required to conform to the MenuElement interface.

Returns:
an array of MenuElement objects

getComponent

public Component getComponent()
Returns the java.awt.Component used to paint this MenuElement. The returned component is used to convert events and detect if an event is inside a menu component.

applyComponentOrientation

public void applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation o)
Sets the ComponentOrientation property of this menu and all components contained within it. This includes all components returned by getMenuComponents.

Overrides:
applyComponentOrientation in class Container
Parameters:
o - the new component orientation of this menu and the components contained within it.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if orientation is null.
Since:

See Also:
Component.setComponentOrientation(java.awt.ComponentOrientation), Component.getComponentOrientation()

setComponentOrientation

public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation o)
Description copied from class: Component
Sets the language-sensitive orientation that is to be used to order the elements or text within this component. Language-sensitive LayoutManager and Component subclasses will use this property to determine how to lay out and draw components.

At construction time, a component's orientation is set to ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN, indicating that it has not been specified explicitly. The UNKNOWN orientation behaves the same as ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT.

To set the orientation of a single component, use this method. To set the orientation of an entire component hierarchy, use applyComponentOrientation.

Overrides:
setComponentOrientation in class Component
See Also:
ComponentOrientation

Overrides:
setAccelerator in class JMenuItem
Parameters:
keyStroke - the keystroke combination which will invoke the JMenuItem's actionlisteners without navigating the menu hierarchy
Throws:
Error - if invoked -- this method is not defined for JMenu. Use setMnemonic instead
