All Implemented Interfaces:

MenuContainer

public class MenuBar

extends MenuComponent

implements MenuContainer

Represents a horizontal bar with a series of pull-down application menus displayed at the top of a window. You set a window's menu bar directly using Window.setMenuBar(com.droplets.api.MenuBar).

MenuBars contain Menus. You add menus to a menu bar directly by calling add(com.droplets.api.Menu). The menus appear in the order that you add them, left to right.

Menus can only be added to a MenuBar during the Window.addAllComponents() method. Any attempt to add menus to a MenuBar outside this method results in an IllegalStateException. This is also the only time a MenuBar can be added to a window.

Register for menu events for a MenuBar by calling MenuComponent.addActionListener(com.droplets.api.event.ActionListener). The listener receives ActionEvents for all the items in all the menus in the menu bar.
