Hello,
This seems stupid question,but I tried to solve it but in vain. Could you pl help me?
My problem is I was making one program in Swing. and I was making one MenuBar and ToolBar. The Objective is to have some of its component disabled intally, which I was able to achieve successfully.
Now in the menu I have change user/Login under File menu on clicin same i am calling a panel where I was asking the user to enter his/her id/pwd. I would like on successful login I want that Disconnect for file menu and compatibility of Help menu should be enabled.
Now problem is that I am using the single variable and could not able to understand how to call these components and make them enabled. could you please help me. regards,
Arun Mahajan
