JMenuItems do not display in design view [message #137485] Thu, 03 May 2007 16:28 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm running Eclipse 3.2.0 and VE 1.2.0.

The JMenuItems do not show in the design view.

Here's the steps to what I'm doing. First, I create a new visual class,
throw a JMenuBar on the ContentPane, then a JMenu on the JMenuBar, and
finally drag a JMenuItem on the JMenu.

Then I set the text for the JMenu (File) and JMenuItem (Open). The
problem is from within the IDE, I never see the Open menu item visually;
it only appears at runtime. What if I want to make a sub menu, do I have
to do that by hand from within code? Or is there a setting or
configuration item which I am missing?

Thanks for your time!

Adam,

There's no way in the VE to manipulate the JMenuItems graphically. You
can however set them up by selecting JMenuItems from the palette and
dropping them onto the JMenu on the Java Beans view. You can reorder
them by dragging them up and down in the beans view, and you can change
the displayed text by right clicking and selecting Set Text.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff
