JMenu and JPopupMenu Programming Software Development by Petranilla Hi everyone, I'm dealing with both JMenu and JPopupMenu in a program. Looks good except when I switch from JMenu to JPopupMenu by right click, it doesnt work. How? Many thanks. Re: JMenu and JPopupMenu Programming Software Development by Petranilla Lucaci: Yes, JPopupMenu(by right click) from JMenu but it doen't change the background. It's actually a program to change background.Many thanks. mKorbel: I'll check,the menus are display on both JMenu and JPopupMenu but it's not displaying the background.Many thanks.
