jmenuitem

As you can see, it's ugly to have these kind of JMenuItem s. The width of the menu items is quite small. Here is the code: JMenu menuOne=new JMenu("MenuOne"); JMenu menuTwo=new JMenu("MenuTwo"); JMenu menuThree=new JMenu("MenuThree"); JMenu menuFour=new JMenu("MenuFour"); JMenuBar mbar=new JMenuBar(); //add the menu to menubar mbar.add(menuOne); JMenuItem OneItOne=new JMenuItem("1"); JMenuItem OneItTwo=new JMenuItem("2"); menuOne.add(OneItOne); menuOne.addSeparator(); menuOne.add(OneItTwo); mbar.add(menuTwo); mbar.add(menuThree); mbar.add(menuFour); setJMenuBar(mbar); Simply adding some blanks

How do I prevent a JMenuItem from closing the menu when the JMenuItem is clicked? The JMenuItem is enabled. So this is the scenario, I have 3 JMenuItems : JMenuItem: A, B, C ; C displays an integer X . A and B are used to increment or decrement X by a value of 1. If A or B is clicked, the default nature is that the menu will close upon click. I want to be able to repeatedly click A or B and have the menu remain up, and perform the associated 'action' upon each click. Thanks! First, using a menu to do this may be the wrong approach. JSpinner seems more appropriate. However, to do this with a

When attempting to click on an item in a submenu, it is natural to quickly draw your mouse across the menu items below it. Both Windows and Mac natively handle this by putting a small delay before the a menu is opened. Swing JMenus do not handle this, and the menu the mouse briefly hovers over would be opened before the mouse reaches the intended menu item. For example, in the image below, if I tried to select Item 3 , but in the process my mouse briefly slid across Menu 2 , the Menu 1 submenu would disappear before I got to it. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for getting around this?

I have a set of JMenuItems in a JPanel on one layer of a JLayeredPane, and an emulated cursor painted in a JPanel on a higher layer. When the menu items repaint, they paint over the emulated cursor (without triggering a repaint of the cursor layer). Interestingly, if I substitute JButtons or JLabels for the menu items, the cursor is correctly painted each time the menu items repaint. How can I ensure that repainting the menu items will cause the affected regions of the higher layers to repaint as well, without directly calling repaint() on the layered pane? The situation I've described is

So i noticed that in awt there is a MenuItem constructor for adding a CTRL + (some key) shortcut, but there is no such constructor for JMenuItem . What is the correct way to do this? I need an equivelent of awt: MenuItem mi = new MenuItem("Copy", new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_C)); but for Swing. Dan D. Example for CTRL + N . menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('N', Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getMenuShortcutKeyMask())); Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getMenuShortcutKeyMask() returns control key (ctrl) on Windows and linux, and command key (⌘) on Mac OS.
