Class MenuBar

        +--java.awt.MenuBar

public class MenuBar
extends MenuComponent
implements MenuContainer

The MenuBar class encapsulates the platform's concept of a menu bar bound to a frame. In order to associate the menu bar with a Frame object, call the frame's setMenuBar method.

This is what a menu bar might look like:

A menu bar handles keyboard shortcuts for menu items, passing them along to its child menus. (Keyboard shortcuts, which are optional, provide the user with an alternative to the mouse for invoking a menu item and the action that is associated with it.) Each menu item can maintain an instance of MenuShortcut. The MenuBar class defines several methods, shortcuts() and getShortcutMenuItem(java.awt.MenuShortcut) that retrieve information about the shortcuts a given menu bar is managing.

Since:
JDK1.0
