Drop-Down-Menu in JToolbar

[Thorsten Kiefer]

Hi,
I've seen drop-down menus in e.g. eclipse, but I don't know how
to create that. It's not possible to add JPopupMenu to JToolbar.

Best Regards
Thorsten

You cann add a MouseListener on JToolbar, so you must be able to show a
popup menu. If isPopupTrigger always return false on JToolbar, you can
show the popup on mouseReleased for example.

Which Java are you using?

Or perhaps I should ask, which JavaDocs are you
*failing* to use?

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

class ToolBarWithPopupMenu {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame();

JToolBar tb = new JToolBar();
JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu();
tb.setComponentPopupMenu( popup );

for (int ii=0; ii<4; ii++) {
tb.add( new JButton("" + ii) );
popup.add( "" + ii);
}
f.add( tb );

f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
};
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(r);
}
}
</sscce>

Sounds like you don't really want a JPopupMenu, but rather a JComboBox?

There's a very nice example on how to use JComboBox if that's what
you're after.
