Adding menus

The class IlvDashboardMenuBar is a Swing JMenu that accepts a set of IlvDashboardAction instances. It inherits from IlvDiagrammerMenuBar and includes File, Edit, View and Options menus.

The following code example shows how to set an IlvDashboardMenuBar in a Dashboard Editor application.

dashEd = new IlvDashboardEditor();
IlvDashboardMenuBar menuBar = new IlvDashboardMenuBar(dashEd);
//set the menu for the JFrame
this.setJMenuBar(mbar);

For an example of how to extend IlvDashboardMenuBar to add a new menu bar, see the Dashboard Editor sample. This sample can be found at:
