Class MenuShell

Known Direct Subclasses:
Menu, MenuBar

public abstract class MenuShell
extends Container

The MenuShell class is an abstract base class used to derive the Menu and MenuBar subclasses.

A MenuShell is a container of MenuItem objects arranged in a list which can be navigated, selected, and activated by the user to perform application functions. A MenuItem can have a submenu associated with it, allowing for nested hierarchical menus.

                   int position)

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Adds a new MenuItem to the MenuShell's item list at the requested position.
Parameters:
child - The MenuItem to add.
position - The position in the item list where child is added. Positions are zero based.

prepend

public void prepend(MenuItem child)

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Adds a new MenuItem to the beginning of the MenuShell's item list.
Parameters:
child - The MenuItem to add.
