Adding popup menus on jmenuitem

hello
I would like to add a popup menu when right-click on a jmenuitem , given that the left click will launch the jmenuitem action.
I've done this by invoking:
jMenuItem.setArmed(false);
when a right click is detected, so i bring up my popup and the action is not launched.
But the jMenuItem hides himself and the popup stay in the middle of nothing (a bit ugly)
QUESTION:
how to tell the jMenuItem and the corresponding jMenu to stay visible while and after I use the popup ? Is it possible ?
Thank you for any help,
Xavier

Popup Menus in Forms 10g

I have a tool bar that I added within a Form that has few popup menus...
When I Run form on Web layout I noticed I have to right click in order to see the popup menu... Before in client server it would only require left mouse click and the popup menu would display.. is there anyway of setting it so it would display if I hit the left button vs the right button. Reason being users who are used to Non Web based will not know to hit the right mouse button vs. Hit the left mouse button..
Anyway to fix this

I would like to respectfully suggest that windows standards are such that a left-click will select an item, and a right-click will display a pop-up context menu if applicable. I believe the action you describe is how it should be. I mean, even on the page that I use to enter this very note, if I click a link or a button, it will perform the action, and if I right-click in this text box I get editing command shortcuts, right-click on a link I get options for how it is to open, etc.
I don't believe a left click should open a context menu. If your users use other Windows standard programs, this should not be an issue, as this is how they work already.

Popup menus not working on pages with RSS feed javascript

My popup menus were working OK until I added an RSS feed to
the page that
uses javascript to parse the feed. Has anyone else
experienced this? Or
found a way to parse the RSS feed and still have the popup
menus work?
Thanks

Perhaps, if you post a link to the page that doesn't work,
someone can
show you how to fix it.

Problem in showing dynamically created popup menus in MacOs.

I have problem with dynamically popup menus. When the menu item is selected, below method is calling:
public JPopupMenu getPopupMenu(){
JPopupMenu r = super.getPopupMenu(); // My class extends JMenu.
r.removeAll();
String[] remoteEngines = SimulationManager.getRemoteEngines();
try {
for (int i = 0; i < remoteEngines.length; i++) {
JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem(remoteEngines);
item.addActionListener(this);
r.add(item);
} catch (Exception ex) {}
return r;
On windows and linux I get menu populated by servers' names, but under MacOS popup menus don�t appear.
I have MacOs 10.4 and Java 1.5.0.5

The problems with the portlet provider. Edit it and do the following:
Uncheck "Web provider in same cookie domain as the portal" and also for the User/Session Information, choose either "Always" or "Once per user session" NOT "never".
Its bug no 4118067 in metalink, the above is a workaround!!

Can I turn off the onscreen popup MENUs in safari 6.0.5? (mountain lion

Not popup windows or popup ads. I'm referring to the system popup menus that appear mid-screen when using Safari. The menus appear to be contextual, and will have choices, such as "go back." I have to tap somewhere on the screen to get it to go away. Frankly, I'm not even sure what tackpad gesture I am doing to cause them to pop up. I only want to use the regular tool bar menu and I find the popup menus disruptive and annoying. I have not been able to find a preference that relates to them. Can I get rid of these things? Thanks for your help...
Jen

I tried that, but there are no settings in there regarding the pop up onscreen menus. It seems to happen in other apps, though less frequently than Safari. Maybe it is an OS thing? However, I could not find any applicable preference...

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions. The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

FRM-92100 at toolbar canvases on calling popup-menus

Hi all,
I am migrating our 6i forms to 10g and now there is following problem.
When I call the popup-menu, attached to a toolbar canvas, I´ll get the frm-92100 failure-message. On other canvas-types and items, there are no problems of calling popup-menus.
What could cause this problem?
thank you.

Thanks for your reply,
I´ve created a new popup menu and attached it, but it doesn´t work too.

JTree questions (1) Re-populating (2) Adding popups

Hi all,
I've just started to use a JTree in my application and I've encountered two
problems. Sorry if these have been covered before - I've been Googling around
for answers.
I have a UI panel ...
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/541/411/1600/TreeDemo.gif
... where a tree is populated with stock quotes from different
sources. The user selects the stock and the tree should update to show the
quotes for that stock. The quotes are read from a DB and I want the user to
be able to delete from the DB using a pop-up on the leaf nodes.
Problems
(1) Re-populating
The only way I've got this to work at this time is to create a new tree from scratch,
based on the stock name, then put it into a new scroll panel, remove the old scroll
panel from the container and add the new one. Not good is it? Nasty, nasty.
I've read a lot about needing to interact with the tree model - is that right?
(2) Adding popups
I want to be able to delete items from the DB by doing a right-click on the leaf
nodes and selecting "Delete" from the pop-up.
I find that I can't add a mouse listener to the DefaultMutableTreeNode used to
hold the leaf item. Should I subclass DefaultMutableTreeNode and implement some
interface to do this?
Any insights very much appreaciated.

I know I'm asnwering my own question here - but I found the answer to teh re-population question while waiting.
I now use the DynamicTree class that is included in the Sun tutorial here
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html
Specifically, here
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/index.html#DynamicTreeDemo
I'd still welcome any suggestions on the pop-up menu question!

Popup Menus from Fireworks to Dreamweaver

I have created popup menus in fireworks and imported the html
into Dreamweaver. But when I do the table cell resizes to the
menu's expanded size. How can I get it to only take space of the
unexpanded button. Where when expanded the dropdown flows OVER the
underlying page.
Desparately seeking help-

Fireworks 8 PopUp menus-

I create a page with single level popup menus in FW8. Export
html/slices to DW8
The menus only show up when I do a mouse over. I can modify
the code in DW8 to remove the javascript onmouseover= ( ... ), and
add a onload=(..). All then works as I want it to work. Top menu
displayed on page load, mouse over/out behavior works as expected.
The top level menus are acting like I would expect the lower
level popups to work. Mouse over to display. Mouse out, timer
delay, they go away.
I assumed/want the first level menus should display on page
load. Just the popups (lower menu levels) should popup with
mouseover. Wrong assumption or something wrong?? I guess I could
use Buttons instead.
Insight????

Check the uberlink and McFly tutorials at PVII
http://www.projectseven.com/)
and the Navbar tutorial at Thierry's place (
http://www.tjkdesign.com)
Either of these are miles better than any DW/FW pop-up
menu....

Fireworks 8 CSS Popup Menus

Hi,
in previous versions of Fireworks I was able to create
multiple popup menus and insert the menus into various table
positions across a web page.
In the latest version of Fireworks (8) I have tried to do the
same using the CSS popup up menus but when previewing the page one
or both of the menus fail to work properly. In some cases the popup
menus appear onmouseover in the wrong place or other times the
menus simply don't function at all.
If I create a single CSS popup menu and insert into a page
there is not a conflict and it is viewable in various browsers.
Is there an adjustment that I can make to the code or the way
that I export to Dreamweaver 8 so that multiple popup menus (in
different tables) can function on the same page?
Thanks,
Boris

Embedded 3D PDF covers popup menus

When I embed a 3D PDF into a web page it covers up popup menus (even when the 3D annotation is disabled). This is true for PDFs generated in either Acro8 or Acro9 and for all browsers tested (Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
For embedded flash movies, this can be avoided by setting the parameter wmmode="transparent", but this doesn't seem work for 3D PDFs. Is there another way?
Thanks,

Popup menus over elements in a JList

Hi,
How would I create a Popup menu when I select an element in a single selection only JList?
Is it possible to have the popup show on any selection event (keyboard, mouse, or even by programatically causing an element to be selected)?
thanks.

I kind of got the behavior I want with doing following, but when I try to use this approach in an Applet, I get an ugly Java Applet Window message:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MenuTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
DefaultListModel lm = new DefaultListModel();
JList list = new JList(lm);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(list);
JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu();
JMenuItem menuItem;
public MenuTest(){
     list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
     lm.addElement("one");
     lm.addElement("two");
     lm.addElement("three");
     lm.addElement("four");
     getContentPane().add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     p.add(scroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     menuItem = new JMenuItem("print to stdout");
     menuItem.addActionListener(this);
     popup.add(menuItem);
     list.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
          public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
          int index = list.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
          if (index>-1&&!(list.isSelectionEmpty())){
               popup.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX(), e.getY());
     addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
     System.out.println((String) list.getSelectedValue());
public static void main(String args[]){
     MenuTest window = new MenuTest();
     window.setTitle("MenuTest");
     window.setSize(200, 300);
     window.setVisible(true);
It seems the behavior is different than for frames and in my GNOME desktop manager when I run my applet it opens a new window for the PopupMenu.
If anyone has run into this and has a work around please let me know.
thanks

Popup Menus not working - software, not DVD

Hi.
On PowerBook G4 1.67, 1GB RAM OS 10.4.11 I use DVD Studio Pro 2.0.5. I use it once every three months to make a set of ads that runs on a theater screen. Occasionally I use it in between for small projects where iDVD just isn't quite enough (or too much, as the case may be).
Since I last used the software I've installed at least one 'Security Update' and can't remember when I installed the x.x.11 update (before or after last time I launched DSP2).
Anyway, I have a problem with some of the popup menus in the inspector window, or palette, where settings for objects (menu, track, buttons, etc) are made.
For example, on launch, new empty project, the popup menu "First Play:" will empty and not actually pop up any options when I click on it. The same thing happens with "End Jump:" and "Target:"
I've searched through this forum but keep only finding questions and answers about actual DVD menus and no mention of anybody else having this weird bug.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
I've deleted the .plist file from my ~/Library folder and reinstalled DSP2 to no avail. Any other suggestions?

I have the same mysterious problem. I have a Dual PowerPC G4 running Os x 10.4.11.
Running DVDSP 2.05 I believe everything was fine until I did some online update. Very aggravating.
