Re: displaying MenuItems above MenuBar instead of below

I have a similar problem. Can you elaborate more?

Hi Orion,

you are right . the default behavior is opening the menu downwards ..
but we can customize it ..

Construct a class that extends MenuBar class.

Say MenuBarExtended ..

and override the following method:
void doItemAction(final MenuItem item, boolean fireCommand)  .. this
method is called when any menubar is clicked ..

change the following code snippet  in the function according to your
need:

        if (vertical)
        {
                popup.setPopupPosition(item.getAbsoluteLeft() +
item.getOffsetWidth(),
                        item.getAbsoluteTop());
        }
        else
        {
                popup.setPopupPosition(item.getAbsoluteLeft(), item.getAbsoluteTop()
                                + item.getOffsetHeight());
        }

the above snippet decides the position of the menu to be opened .. the
menu is shown with the help of a popup panel called 'popup' and its
position is set using 'setPopupPosition'  which takes argument 'int
left' and 'int top'.

HTH,
Neeraj
