Chapter 10 Would You Like to Choose from the Menu? |
|
MenuContainer is an interface
implemented by the three menu containers: Frame,
Menu, and MenuBar;
Java 1.1 adds a fourth, Component.
You should never need to worry about the interface since it does all its
work behind the scenes for you. You will notice that the interface
does not define an add() method.
Each type of MenuContainer
defines its own add() method
to add menus to itself.
- public abstract Font getFont ()
-
The getFont() method should
provide an object's font. MenuItem
implements this method, so all of its subclasses inherit it. MenuBar
implements it, too, while Frame
gets the method from Component.
- public abstract boolean postEvent (Event e)
-
The postEvent() method should
post Event e
to the object. MenuComponent
implements this method, so all of its subclasses inherit it. (Frame
gets the method from Component.)
- public abstract void remove (MenuComponent component)
-
The remove() method should
remove the MenuComponent component
from the object. If component
was not contained within the object, nothing should happen.
