Hi,

I'm currently building a Java app. In this app, users are told that they are locked in a room, and that there is a key hidden in the room. The app is supposed to present the options in the form of a menu, from which the users select a location to "look in" first. I can create a JMenu, but I want to know how to make this JMenu appear in the same window as the label.

Here's what I have so far:

One thing I forgot to mention: I don't want the user to be opening/closing the menu (without closing the window.)

Are you by any chance looking for a popup menu?
