Handling a main menu

hi All!
I have a general question for handling a main menu.
so this is the case:
I have a class extending a JFrame called MainMenuFrame. It contains a MainMenuPanel.
i have another JFrame called GameFrame, and this is for the new game class.
the MainMenuPanel is where all the main menu code takes place and there i have 3 buttons.
Now, i have a variable called selection. it checks which button was selecte and get a value accordingly.
my question is where i should handle the selection. already inside the MainMenuPanel or in the MainMenuFrame?
(when i get a new game selection i want to setVisible(false) the mainMenuFrame and setvisible(true) the GameFrame).
Thanks

I would put the selection variable in main. When it finds that New Game is selected it calls a static method which goes something like:
newGameSelected(GameFrame g, MainMenuFrame m){
m.setVisible(false);
g.setVisible(true);
}

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!

How to add event handling for a menu?

hi,
I have created a menu and few mneu items.
for eachmenu itme , i did event handling and it is workign fine.
it was like this
menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit",KeyEvent.VK_X);
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, ActionEvent.ALT_MASK));
menuItem.addActionListener(this);
menu.add(menuItem);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
JMenuItem source = (JMenuItem)(e.getSource());
String s = "Action event detected. Event source: " + source.getText();
System.out.println(s);
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
JMenuItem source = (JMenuItem)(e.getSource());
String s = "Item event detected. Event source: " + source.getText();
System.out.println(s);
now int he second menu i don't have any menu item and i want to do the event handling for the menu itself. any ideas how to do it. following is the code for the menu
//Build the second menu.
menu2 = new JMenu("Options");
menu2.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
menuBar.add(menu2);
menu2.addActionListener(this);     //this does nto work

You were on the right track. However, selecting a menu is different from selecting a menu item. MenuItem chucks an ActionEvent and Menu will send an ItemEvent.
If you pile all action output to one actionPerformed method then be careful of your assumptions on what the source type will be. If by any chance the Menu has sent an ActinoEvent then your code will have caused a ClassCastException.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MenuTest implements ActionListener, ItemListener {
    JMenuItem menuItem;
    JMenu menu1, menu2;
    JMenuBar menubar;
    JFrame frame;
    public MenuTest() {
        frame = new JFrame("MenuTest");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        menubar = new JMenuBar();
        frame.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        menu1 = new JMenu("File");
        menu1.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_F);
        menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit",KeyEvent.VK_X);
        menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, ActionEvent.ALT_MASK));
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        menu1.addItemListener(this);
        menu1.add(menuItem);
        menubar.add(menu1);
        //Build the second menu.
        menu2 = new JMenu("Options");
        menu2.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
        menu2.addActionListener(this); //this does not work
        menu2.addItemListener(this); // use this instead
        menubar.add(menu2);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,100));
        frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
        frame.pack();
        frame.show();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        String s = "Action event detected. Event source: " + e.getSource();
        System.out.println(s);
    public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
        String s = "Item event detected. Event source: " + e.getSource();
        System.out.println(s);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new MenuTest();

Image for add-on in main menu.

Dear All,
I am facing a problem in loading the image for my add-on. when i run the source file the image is displayed in the main menu. But after converting the source file to ARD format the image is not getting displayed.Pls suggest some solution,
Regards,
Anand

Hello
A i am suggesting to use the following code to make sure that the image of the Menu is on the Startup directory...
So
        oMenus = sbo_application.Menus
        Dim oCreationPackage As SAPbouiCOM.MenuCreationParams
        oCreationPackage = sbo_application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_MenuCreationParams)
        oMenuItem = sbo_application.Menus.Item("43520") 'moudles'
        Dim sFileName As String = IO.Directory.GetParent(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath()).ToString & "CFL.BMP"
        If IO.File.Exists(sFileName) = False Then
            sbo_application.MessageBox(String.Format("The Image {0} does not exists for the menu!", sFileName))
        End If
        ' Creation parameters
        oCreationPackage.Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoMenuType.mt_POPUP
        oCreationPackage.UniqueID = "SM_DMID"
        oCreationPackage.String = "Operations"
        oCreationPackage.Image = sFileName
        oCreationPackage.Position = 4
        oMenus = oMenuItem.SubMenus
        Try ' If the manu already exists this code will fail
            oMenus.AddEx(oCreationPackage)
        Catch er As Exception ' Error Handling
            sbo_application.MessageBox(er.Message)
        End Try

Linuxrc "main menu"

Hello again,
For various reasons, sometimes when PXE booting, the "root" archive fails to
download. That's OK, that's not the problem I'm trying to solve.
The problem is that when this happens, the boot process automatically
launches something I don't want. Its title bar starts with "linuxrc v1.6",
the screen is largely blue, but it has a gray menu popped up in the middle
of it, titled "Main Menu" which includes items like:
Settings
System Information
Kernel Modules (Hardware Drivers)
Start Installation or System
I don't want this. Ever. My scripting can handle it if the "root" archive
fails to download, but it can't if this thing launches and prevents the
system from carrying on into the scripts. The last thing I want is
something that requires user interaction. So, my question is, how can I
prevent this thing from ever coming up? Ideally, if the "root" archive
failed to download, I would like it just to carry on as if it had.
Thanks,
Lisa.

Thanks for the comprehensive and highly specific reply!

What is this number supposed to govern? Is it:
- Number of seconds, total, allowed for attempting to download root?
- Number of seconds allowed in any given retry attempt?
- Something else I haven't thought of?
I ask because it doesn't appear to have any effect whatever value I put
here.

What variable governs this? I don't see anything in linuxrc.config that
appears to be setting this value.
In general, I would very much like to have a list of all the possible
variables I can set in linuxrc.config. I have found some general
linuxrc.config documentation pertaining to SuSE installations, but
annoyingly, the most comprehensive list only gives "typical" variables
people use. As far as I can tell there isn't a full list anywhere. Neither
do examples exist for those that are documented. (E.g. I noticed that there
exists a variable for setting the language and keyboard. They helpfully
give the sole example of setting it to de_DE. Very nice if you happen to be
in Germany. What if you are in some other country? No list of other
possibilities is provided. I'd like one.)

Through trial and error I have found that you probably mean KBDTimeout.
I set this to a value of 5 seconds so that I could see what happens.
When it comes up into that installation menu I get this series of events:
1. that first installation menu appears; it does indeed apparently press
enter automatically.
2. menu "Start Installation or System" appears; it presses enter on "Start
Installation or Update"
3. menu "Choose the Source Medium" appears; it presses enter, but on the
entry "CD-ROM"
4. (it sends a DHCP request again) it then tries to find the root archive on
the CD-ROM drive. But of course, I have booted PXE so there is no CD. It
gives me an error message: "Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive"
5. it presses enter again on the entry "CD-ROM". (It again sends a DHCP
request) This time it gives me an error message: "Unable to mount the
CD-ROM" (in red)
It then repeats alternating between these last two error messages for as
long as I care to leave it.
In the menu where it is choosing "CD-ROM", "Network" is the second choice in
the menu, not the first.
> This will require to unzip the initrd and edit the linuxrc.conf.
Yes, I'm OK with that. But I think you mean linuxrc.config. Just worth
mentioning in case anybody besides me ever tries to follow these directions.
Thanks,
Lisa.

I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel. Any ideas for help?

When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

Hi ...
If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.

If that is corrrect, you need to update your system software. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software

Voice memo in main menu

Recently the voice memo option put itself into my main menu after either a sync or a soft reset. Now I can't get rid of it, since it's not in the extras menu as something to check/uncheck. Do I need to restore my iPod to fix this?

Hello spartanhooah,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried another soft reset of the iPod again? Usually doing so clears up this issue. Otherwise, if you have, then yes, your next step would be to restore the iPod via iTunes.

Voice Memo item in main menu

A Voice Memo item has appeared in main menu and I cannot remove it. When I go to *settings>main menu* no such item is listed so I cannot deselect it. Any ideas appreciated...

I am trying to make a main menu for my project but I don't know where IDVD is located?

I am trying to make a main menu but I read some info. and said I have to do it through IDVD and I tried it but can not find IDVD anywhere so I wanted to know if I have to purchase it or something and I also wanted to know how to create a main menu?

depends on how old your Mac is ...
newer machines do not come along with a pre-installed iDVD (.. and iWeb ..) anymore; you have to purchase a boxed version of iLife11.
if somehow iDVD is installed on your Mac, you should find it in your Apps-folder
(or use Spotlight, search for iDVD) ...-

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

How to block the Form Settings for Main Menu to use ONLY "My Menu"?

Hi everyone:
Our customer wants to define an User Menu (My Menu) for each B1 user within the company and restrict the Modules at main menuu2026
How can I block the Form Settings for the Main Menu?... It is possible to give an user Only access to My Menu and denied Authorization to the Modules?.
I appreciate your help!!. Thanks very much
Claudia Gutiérrez

Hi,
'My Menu' refers to the third tab on the Main Menu, and the
authorization of 'Organize My Menu' works as below:
- Full Authorization: Allows the user to access the Organize User Menu
window (Tools -> User Menu -> Organize) and customize the menu.
- No Authorization: The user cannot open this window.

Is there any way to create or move around folders on the main menu?

For example, I know how to add things like Clock, and take out things like pictures.. but is there a way I could create another option to put notes or photos in? Like a new folder on the main menu that you could go into and it would have maybe my photos, notes, and a calendar or something like that.

You should be able to create and edit playlists on iOS devices and in iTunes. Probably much quicker and easier on the computer, and I believe smart playlists can only be created in iTunes.
