Class MenuItem

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Accessible
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CheckboxMenuItem, Menu

    public class MenuItem
    extends MenuComponent
    implements Accessible
    All items in a menu must belong to the class MenuItem, or one of its subclasses.

    The default MenuItem object embodies a simple labeled menu item.

    This picture of a menu bar shows five menu items: The following text describes this graphic.
    The first two items are simple menu items, labeled "Basic" and "Simple". Following these two items is a separator, which is itself a menu item, created with the label "-". Next is an instance of CheckboxMenuItem labeled "Check". The final menu item is a submenu labeled "More Examples", and this submenu is an instance of Menu.

    When a menu item is selected, AWT sends an action event to the menu item. Since the event is an instance of ActionEvent, the processEvent method examines the event and passes it along to processActionEvent. The latter method redirects the event to any ActionListener objects that have registered an interest in action events generated by this menu item.

    Note that the subclass Menu overrides this behavior and does not send any event to the frame until one of its subitems is selected.

      • enableEvents

        protected final void enableEvents​(long eventsToEnable)
        Enables event delivery to this menu item for events to be defined by the specified event mask parameter

        Since event types are automatically enabled when a listener for that type is added to the menu item, this method only needs to be invoked by subclasses of MenuItem which desire to have the specified event types delivered to processEvent regardless of whether a listener is registered.

        Parameters:
        eventsToEnable - the event mask defining the event types

      • setActionCommand

        public void setActionCommand​(String command)
        Sets the command name of the action event that is fired by this menu item.

        By default, the action command is set to the label of the menu item.

        Parameters:
        command - the action command to be set for this menu item.
        Since:
        1.1

        setActionCommand(java.lang.String)
      • getListeners

        public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners​(Class<T> listenerType)
        Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this MenuItem. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.

        You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a MenuItem m for its action listeners with the following code:

        ActionListener[] als = (ActionListener[])(m.getListeners(ActionListener.class));
        If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type of the listeners
        Parameters:
        listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener
        Returns:
        an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this menu item, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener

      • processEvent

        protected void processEvent​(AWTEvent e)
        Processes events on this menu item. If the event is an instance of ActionEvent, it invokes processActionEvent, another method defined by MenuItem.

        Currently, menu items only support action events.

        Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

        Overrides:
        processEvent in class MenuComponent
        Parameters:
        e - the event
        Since:
        1.1
        See Also:
        processActionEvent(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
      • processActionEvent

        protected void processActionEvent​(ActionEvent e)
        Processes action events occurring on this menu item, by dispatching them to any registered ActionListener objects. This method is not called unless action events are enabled for this component. Action events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
        • An ActionListener object is registered via addActionListener.
        • Action events are enabled via enableEvents.

        Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

        Parameters:
        e - the action event

        ActionEvent, ActionListener, enableEvents(long)
      • paramString

        public String paramString()
        Returns a string representing the state of this MenuItem. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.
        Overrides:
        paramString in class MenuComponent
        Returns:
        the parameter string of this menu item
      • getAccessibleContext

        public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
        Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this MenuItem. For menu items, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleAWTMenuItem. A new AccessibleAWTMenuItem instance is created if necessary.
        Specified by:
        getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
        Overrides:
        getAccessibleContext in class MenuComponent
        Returns:
        an AccessibleAWTMenuItem that serves as the AccessibleContext of this MenuItem
