Creating a JMenubar is simple.
JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar(); JMenu menu1 = new JMenu("File"); JMenu menu2= new JMenu("Help"); file = new JMenuItem("Exit to menu"); edit = new JMenuItem("Exit"); JMenuItem about = new JMenuItem("About us"); f.setJMenuBar(menubar); menu1.add(file); menu1.add(edit); menu2.add(about); menubar.add(menu1); menubar.add(menu2); file.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { //Action...... } }); edit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { //Action..... } }); about.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { //Action.... } });
