Property Value

A Menu object that corresponds to the Java main menu.

Remarks

After you obtain the menu, you can select items from this menu using the returned object. See the Menu object description for more information on available menu actions.

There are two ways to obtain the main menu of a Java application:

Via the Window.JMainMenu property.
Via the JMenuBar.SwingMenu property.

Accessing the menu through the JMainMenu of a Window object is convenient, however if a window has several menus, you might encounter recognition problems. In this case you should use the JMenuBar object. The instances of this object are available for every menu bar of a Java application and addressing the instance that corresponds to the main menu solves the problem.

This property is available if the Java Control Support plugin is installed.
