java对菜单项的监听,菜单上的java动作监听器，而不是菜单项

I need enlightenment.

how to add action actionListener event bind to the menu, and not bind to the menu ITEM

here is the demo code, that works(on menuITEM)..

menuFileItem.addActionListener(

new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

System.out.println("It works");

}

}

);

but when i try the same , but just on the MENU itself it doesn't work!

menuFile.addActionListener(

new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

System.out.println("Plz work... :( ");

}

}

);

is it possible to add listener to menu? i taught listener could be added to everything.

You can add an ActionListener to a JMenu as this method is inherited from AbstractButton. (JMenu Documentation)

JMenu menu = new JMenu("MyMenu");

menu.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){...});

But, it is not intended to be used this way: JMenu ignores ActionEvent. You should use MenuEvent and MenuListener instead.

JMenu menu = new JMenu("MyMenu");

menu.addMenuListener(new MenuListener() {

@Override

public void menuSelected(MenuEvent e) {

System.out.println("menuSelected");

}

@Override

public void menuDeselected(MenuEvent e) {

System.out.println("menuDeselected");

}

@Override

public void menuCanceled(MenuEvent e) {

System.out.println("menuCanceled");

}

});
