JMenu Listener?

[Nikos Stavros]

Will this work, it didn't for me

   
JMenu jMenu;
 jMenu.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(mb,
aboutText);
 }
 });

No an ActionListener isn't going to do anything for JMenu. It would be more helpful if you tell us what your are trying to do. You want to show a dialog message when JMenu is clicked?

It seems that a JMenu doesn't fire an ActionEvent when you click it.
Try a JMenuItem instead.
