JMenu Problem

[Pepo moussa]

hello i got a little problem i never used jmenu before so i got this code for a simple menu and i want to add actions to the buttons exit, open, delete so i was wondering if anyone can show how to set for example the exit button to exit and so on thank you.

JFrame jf =new JFrame("Collage Rooms");
   jf.setSize(900,400);
   jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   Container myContentPane = jf.getContentPane();


   // Creates a menubar for a JFrame
        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        
        // Add the menubar to the frame
        jf.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
        
        // Define and add two drop down menu to the menubar
        JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File",true);
        JMenu editMenu = new JMenu("Edit",true);
        menuBar.add(fileMenu);
        menuBar.add(editMenu);
        
        // Create and add simple menu item to one of the drop down menu
        JMenuItem openAction = new JMenuItem("Open");
        JMenuItem exitAction = new JMenuItem("Exit");
        JMenuItem DeleteAction = new JMenuItem("Delete");
        
       fileMenu.add(openAction);
       fileMenu.add(exitAction);
        editMenu.add(DeleteAction);

have you ever added an actionListener to a JButton and coded it to exit the program?

if you have, it is the same procedure for a JMenuItem

I can do better than that. I can show you where you can find code and tutorials for this. Please have a look here and here.

Good luck!
