Menus

All the menus which should appear on a window must be under a menubar element. The menubartoolbar has one menupopup child which will contain the menus and does not have any attribute.

Each menu is defined using the menu element. The menu contain several menuitem elements.

GUI structure

The menubar element is unique for each window. This menubar can contain any menus as necessary.

Merging menus

If several XULDocuments are installed in the same Swing frame or window, then all their menus will be merged. For example, suppose that we have the two following documents declarations:

    <window title="Window1" orient="horizontal"
      xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">      
       <menubar>      
         <menu label="File">
      ...  
         </menu>
       </menubar>     
   </window>                       

and:

    <window title="Window2" orient="horizontal"
      xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">      
       <menubar>      
         <menu label="Options">
      ...  
         </menu>
       </menubar>     
   </window>                       

Then we will have the following result:

Example

    <window id="Test" title="My Window" orient="horizontal"
      xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">      
       <menubar>      
         <menu label="Colors">
            <menupopup>
               <menuitem label="Red"/>
               <menuitem label="Blue"/>
               <menuitem label="Yellow"/>
            </menupopup>
         </menu>
       </menubar>     
   </window>                       

The result is:
