JMenuBar in Java Swing Example

JMenuBar, which is a drop down menu bar at the top application, and JPopupMenu, a menu you get when you press the button right mouse on a particular area. The menus are comprised of different items:

The components of a menu can be constructed using the JMenuBar, JMenu, JMenultem, JCheckBoxMenultem and JRadioButtonMenultem classes in a way similar to the MenuBar, Menu and Menultem classes of AWT.

When anyone of the menu items in Menu object “BackGround” is selected, the background colour of the frame is changed to the corresponding colour selected in the menu item. In the same way, when any of the menu items in the menu for Foreground is selected, the foreground colour of the frame will change to corresponding colour selected in the menu, which is displayed in the text field. Similarly if the Exit menu item is selected from exit menu, the frame is closed.

                     Constructors and methods of the JMenuBar class.

This is demonstrated in Program
