public class MenuBar

extends JMenuBar

implements Externalizable

An extended version of swing's JMenuBar. This menubar can load its content from the folder where its "disk image" is stored.

Moreover, menu is Externalizable to restore its persistent state with minimal storage expensiveness. The MenuBar recognizes following objects in the folder:

• subfolders - they're turned into top-level JMenu instances
• instances of Component - they're added directly to the menubar.
• instances of Presenter.Toolbar - their toolbar presenter is added to the menubar.

before OpenAPI version 3.2, only subfolders were recognized.

In subfolders the following objects are recognized and added to submenus:

• nested subfolders - they're turned into submenus
• instances of Presenter.Menu
• instances of JMenuItem
• instances of JSeparator
• instances of Action
• executable DataObjects

public MenuBar()

Don't call this constructor or this class will not get initialized properly. This constructor is only for externalization.

MenuBar

public MenuBar(DataFolder folder)

Creates a new MenuBar from given folder.

Parameters:

folder - The folder from which to create the content of the menubar. If the parameter is null, default menu folder is obtained.

Method Detail

addImpl

public void addImpl(Component c,
                    Object constraint,
