Description | Use the option keyword to create a popup, option, or drop-down menu. If the lookAndFeel property is set to "Appearance Manager" or "Macintosh", the option keyword designates a popup menu. If the lookAndFeel is "Motif", the option keyword designates an option menu. If the lookAndFeel is "Windows 95", the option keyword designates a drop-down list similar to a combo box. Option menus are normally used to designate a state. Choosing an item from an option menu changes the menu's current setting, making this menu type suitable for situations in which the user must choose one of the predefined states. |
