JMenu: Can't see the output window

[Zulfi Khan <zu...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

 
The output GUIsticks to the NetBeans window. I can’t see the output window. I have attached the image. Somebbody please guide me.





The steps of thedevelopment are as follows:




1. Add a JFrame Formclass by right clicking on the name of the application

2.Click on theJframe Form class just added.

3. It would show theSource and Design menu items.

4. Click on thedesign menu item

5. It open thepalette.

6. Click on theswing menus in the palette

7. Drag the 'menubar' from the swing menu options and put it on top of the JFrameForm class file. We will see the originalsquare box of the JFrameform class with the menu bar lying on top of it. Menu bar has optionsFile and Edut. This process is called adding a JMenuBar to a JFrame.

8. Next step is toadd Jmenus to JMenuBar

9. Drag Jmenu andplace it on the File menu. File menu will be enclosed in square box.This means that the menu has been well placed.

10. Next add JMenuItem to the JMenu

11. Run theapplication

Re: JMenu: Can't see the output window

[Ernie Rael <er...@raelity.com>]

I copied the file from your email into an empty project. Right click in 
the file and select "Run File". A JFrame with menu bar (as shown in your 
gui builder) was displayed in the upper left corner. To simplify things, 
you can click on "Source" in the editor toolbar window, and just display 
the source code, then do the "Run File"

There's also terminology issue. NetBeans has an "Output Window" which 
you can see at the bottom of your image. I would call the JFrame, that 
you want to see displayed, your programs "Main Window".
