Menu

[Brian Snyder]

Heres my code:

                         Menu menu = new MenuBar();
                         m3 = new Menu("Test");
                         review = new MenuItem("Review..");
                         m3.add(review);

As it is now. I am able to create a menu bar with a heading "file". When the user clicks
on "file" the menu pops up and they can actually select one of four choices; I only have
one of them listed here,"review".
How do I add a submenu to review? I want to add two options("Test" and "Tutorial") that
pop up when the user's mouse lands on the word "Review..". The API said that I should
use" ..... submenu is an instance of Menu." .
I need some code to help me out. I played around with add() with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian
To get the affect what you wanted, you just need to add a 'Menu' object to the menu bar instead of 'MenuItem'
So the code looks like this...

                    MenuBar menu = new MenuBar();
                    Menu m3 = new Menu("Test");
                    Menu review = new Menu("Review..");
                    MenuItem mIt2 = new MenuItem("Option 2");
                    MenuItem mIt3 = new MenuItem("Option 3");
                    MenuItem mIt4 = new MenuItem("Option 4");
                    m3.add(review);

Hope this helps
cheers

                menu = new MenuBar();
m3 = new Menu("Test");
review = new Menu("Review");
mi1 = new MenuItem("Option 1");
mi2 = new MenuItem("Option 2");
mi3 = new MenuItem("Option 3");
menu.add(m3);
m3.add(review);
review.add(mi1);
review.add(mi2);
review.add(mi3);

setMenuBar(menu);

this now produces:
-Test
-Review
-Option 1
-Option 2
-Option 3
(The indentation didn;t work, but I got what I wanted!!!)
It seems so obvious now. I guess I was looking at it too long. Thanks for the help. This is how I feel now.
