How add JLabels as headers for JPopupMenu's menuitem sections?

[Dan Bizman]

I know that menuitems in a JPopupmenu can be separated by addSeparator(), but I also want to be able to set headers/titles for those sections. So you'd get something like:

FILE OPTIONS
- Open File
- Delete File

PROPERTY OPTIONS
- Rename
- View Properties

Is there a way to do this?

Is this possible? Or do I have to extend JPopupMenu

I don't know of anyway of going that without rolling your own, other than possibly adding a JMenuItem that doesn't have an action attached to it.

You mean like this?

    
JPopupMenu popMenu = new JPopupMenu();
popMenu.add(new JLabel("FILE OPTIONS"));
popMenu.add(new JMenuItem("- Open File"));
popMenu.add(new JMenuItem("- Delete File"));

popMenu.add(new JLabel("PROPERTY OPTIONS"));
popMenu.add(new JMenuItem("- Rename"));
popMenu.add(new JMenuItem("- View Properties"));
