JPopupMenu

[frank braunstein]

Hi guys (not meant in chauvinistic fashion),

I got something like a "dynamic JPopupMenu" (i call it dynamic because it changes its size depending on the size of a Jlist). My problem is that, the JList it gets its data from is empty in the beginning, thus the Jpopupmenu is not displayed (or just a small fraction of it), when right clicking. Is there a EASY way to set the "inital size".
Please it should be EASY and not super-tricky.
Thanks

Edit1:
myJPopupMenu.setSize(100,100) doesn't work

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Do you want to display an empty popup menu, so that the user knows his right-click (or whatever action that brings up the popup menu) has been processed? If this is the case, I'd put a single disabled menu item onto the popup menu with text like "no action available" or something similar.

Actually, yes I've done something similar:
the right click checks the "data JList" first, if its empty no JPopupMenu is opened, else it shows the JPopupMenu with all contents.
