51. JMenuItem coderanch.comSeems like the JMF window is a native (heavyweight) control, and the menu items are lightweight pure-Java controls. Heavyweight controls will always be shown on top of lightweight controls. That's why it's usually a bad idea to mix AWT (heavyweight) with Swing (mostly lightweight). You could switch to AWT and use its menu items, that should work. |

53. jmenuitem..unseen coderanch.comHi Maha, You're using a "heavyweight" AWT component like a Canvas or Panel with a "lightweight" Swing JMenuBar. You can't mix Swing and AWT components unless you really know what you're doing. So pick one or the other, and your problem will go away. I'm going to move this to our "Swing/AWT/etc" forum. |
