Displaying a JWindow

[Shyam Purkayastha]

Hoe do I create display and add components to a JWindow
I think JMenu cannot be added to JWindow .Is there any alternative.
thanks

JMenu can be added to JWindow:

  
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MyWindow extends JWindow {
  JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
  JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
  JMenu jMenu1 = new JMenu();
  JMenuItem jMenuItem1 = new JMenuItem();
  JMenuBar bar = new JMenuBar();
  public MyWindow() {
    try {
      jbInit();
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyWindow myWindow1 = new MyWindow();
    myWindow1.setSize(300,300);
    myWindow1.show();
  }
  private void jbInit() throws Exception {
    jButton1.setText("Hide");
    jButton1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        jButton1_actionPerformed(e);
      }
    });
    jMenu1.setText("Menu1");
    jMenuItem1.setText("Item 1");
    this.getContentPane().add(jPanel1,  BorderLayout.CENTER);
    jPanel1.add(jButton1, null);
    bar.add(jMenu1);
    jMenu1.add(jMenuItem1);
    getRootPane().setJMenuBar(bar);
  }
  void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    System.exit(0);
  }
}

Hope this helps

Rene Liebmann:
Could your code be used as a sort of
message dialog(box).
I wold like to have some kind of splash screen, not really for anything but to display one line
of text describing some of my programs functions.
But the window would need to popup only one time, and either before the actual program started up, or by a button click.
thanks.

For the purpose of Splash Screen you can subclass the JWindow and add functionalaty to paint for displaying text or images etc
For showing and hiding you can use timers
