Note: This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.

IntlMenuItem is an extension of JMenuItem. It adds the textWithMnemonic property for internationalization support. The textWithMnemonic property accepts a text string containing an ampersand (&) preceding the character to be used as the menu item's mnemonic character. This makes internationalization easier because the text and mnemonic can be translated as a single string. A translator given a list of strings to translate need not match single mnemonic characters in isolation with their corresponding menu names.

IntlMenuItem constructors

IntlMenuItem()

  public IntlMenuItem()
Creates an IntlMenuItem with no specified text or icon. Calls the constructor of this class that takes a String and an Icon as parameters. Passes a null and a null cast to an Icon to the other constructor.

IntlMenuItem(java.lang.String)

  public IntlMenuItem(String s)
Creates an IntlMenuItem that contains a text string. Calls the constructor of this class that takes a String and an Icon as parameters. Passes the specified String and a null cast to an Icon to the other constructor.

Parameters:

s
The text string that appears on the menu item.

IntlMenuItem(java.lang.String, int)

  public IntlMenuItem(String text, int mnemonic)
Creates an IntlMenuItem that contains a text string and a mnemonic character. Calls the constructor of its superclass that takes a String and an int, passing the specified values.

Parameters:

s
The text string that appears on the menu item.
mnemonic
The character in the string that is the mnemonic character.

IntlMenuItem(java.lang.String, javax.swing.Icon)

  public IntlMenuItem(String s, Icon icon)
Creates an IntlMenuItem that contains a text string and an icon. Calls the constructor of its superclass that takes a String and an Icon, passing the specified values.

Parameters:

s
The text string that appears on the menu item.
icon
An Icon that appears on the menu item.

IntlMenuItem(javax.swing.Icon)

  public IntlMenuItem(Icon icon)
Creates an IntlMenuItem that contains an icon. Calls the constructor of this class that takes a String and an Icon as parameters. Passes a null, and the specified Icon, to the other constructor.

Parameters:

icon
An Icon that appears on the menu item.

IntlMenuItem properties

textWithMnemonic

 public String getTextWithMnemonic()
 public void setTextWithMnemonic(String text)
textWithMnemonic is a convenience property for setting the menu item's text, which interprets an ampersand character (&) within the text as an instruction to make the character following the ampersand the mnemonic character for the menu. To put an ampersand in the text but not make the character following it a hot key, put a backslash before the ampersand. To make the ampersand the hot key, put two consecutive ampersands in the text.

This property can be used instead of the usual text property, even if a mnemonic character is not embedded in the text. It is particularly useful for applications that resource strings for internationalization, because the text and mnemonic can be specified in a single string.

Note that the first occurrence of the mnemonic character is always denoted visibly as the mnemonic key, despite the location of the ampersand within the text. Furthermore, only the first occurrence of an ampersand is removed from the text.

If both the text and textWithMneumonic properties are set, the most recently set property takes precedence.

textWithMnemonic is a bound property, and therefore a property change event is fired when its value is modified.
